Lisa walked out the back door of the farmhouse on
a Thursday afternoon and found a man's pipe, a
scarf and three lumps of coal lying on the wet

Muslim Jerusalem
Muslims worship at the Dome of the Rock, also
known as the Mosque of Omar, on the site of the
old Jewish Temple. For Muslims, Jerusalem is
their third holiest city because it is the site
from which Muhammad is said to have risen to
heaven on his Night Journey. Visitors to the
mosque are shown Muhammads footprint on the
rock. Jerusalem is the city where many of the
prophets of Islam, including Abraham and Jesus,
preached. For Muslims the name suggests peace and
corresponds to the Muslim concept of the sacred
a place where peace reigns.
