Dave,

Ash mentioned this last night but he said it concerned Sarah and Isaac...

Muslim belief places the story of Ishmael and his mother's search for
water in the general vicinity of the mosque. In the story, Hagar runs
between the hills of Safa and Marwah looking for water for her son,
until God eventually reveals to her the Zamzam Well, from where water
continues to flow non-stop to this day.

There also might be a tie-in between the Kaaba of Islam and the
Sanctuary of the Bible (the devil having fun again?)...

tradition holds that the mosque was first built by the angels before
the creation of mankind, when God ordained a place of worship on Earth
to reflect the house in heaven called al-Baytu l-Ma?mur (Arabic: ?????
???????, "The Worship Place of Angels"). Al-Baytu l-Ma?mur is believed
to be located in heaven directly above the Kaaba. The first Kaaba was
built by angels and Adam was the first human to re-build it.

Note how is says that the Kaaba is a reflection of a house in heaven. I
would almost definitely say that this is the devils attempt to turn the
Muslims away from the Sanctuary and the message it holds. This is
probably something to bring up with Ash. We should stress the point
that according to the Bible the Sanctuary reflects a building in
heaven. I'm still looking for the Hadith that mention this. We need to
help our Muslim brothers and sisters before it is too late.

God bless,
James
