But how about this - won’t something moving that fast that grazes you cause a burn from friction alone?

Nope, don't think so. Cut, smash, abrade, bruise, yes but not burn. It still takes time to generate or transfer heat.

In a thousand years, will the Muslims near Essen, Germany, have a new Kaaba to worship?

It'll make the hajj so much more convenient for them...
