Needless to say, these graves hold the bodies of Muslims, like Adam, Abraham, all the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, Jesus, pretty much anyone of any importance was Muslim. Thus no need for Jews to visit.

Thanks Eleutheria5.

Ordinarily I might only add this to the list and post the message, but not ping it. But I read this:

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
