NON-MAGNETIC MECCA
Julie McCrossin in the Sydney Morning Herald:
Haraksin, 46, has used a wheelchair all her life because of brittle bones and small stature. She is 90 centimetres tall. A university graduate, she has always worked and supported herself.
Given another chance, Julie may have worded that conclusion slightly differently. In any case, Dr. Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyed of the Egyptian National Research Center has the answer for Ms Haraksin and all people suffering walking disabilities: move to Mecca!
In Mecca, you don’t exert any effort. That’s why you may see an old man, who cannot walk, or who walks with crutches, and even though it gets very crowded around the Ka’ba, he is filled with great strength, and he circles the Ka’ba. You do not exert any effort, and you are filled with energy, because you are in a place in which there is no magnetic force.
Of course, magical Mecca sometimes has an opposite effect on the able-bodied.
