#1 The Turks also claim to have King David's sword and John the Baptist's head among the other sacred relics in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul.
I've been waiting for the salafis to bomb this place since they (the Salafis) believe the display of sacred relics leads to the worship of sacred relics which in turn is the worst form of polytheism. But so far, the Salafis have found other things to bomb.

#5 Any DNA to be gotten from the hair? If so, here is a buisness idea...PCR up the DNA and transfect pigs with some of the genes. Pig meat will become sacred. One could then open up some restaurants throughout the Middle East and sell Mo-ham and cheese sandwiches.

#7 Despite the freezing weather, thousands of Chechens, including Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, met the hairs at the airport and in the city's streets.

#8 Mohammedan holy relics? Is that why ...
To wit,
* WAFF > [Youtube]RUSSIANS IN LUCK: UMAROV ORDERS NO CIVILIAN ATTACKS | RUSSIAN ISLAMIST CHIEF ORDERS HALT TO CIVILIAN ATTACKS, in response to perceived popular disgust st Moscow's harsh or brutal methods agz the Hard Boyz, + anti-Putin mass protests.
"EMIR" UMAROV DOING A MULLAH OMAR + TALIBAN? = Hard Boyz will still selectively strike at Military, Legal, + Political targets as pertinent???
POLITICAL-LEGAL-ELECTORAL JIHAD COMES TO THE CAUCASUS?
versus
* RIAN > PROKHOROV WARNS OF RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR, as possible "worst-case scenario" vee on-going, anti-Putin mass protests [March 2012 Elex].
HMMM, HMMM, ANTI-PUTIN PROTESTS = RUSSIAN EQUIVALENT OF US ANTI-OSAMA ABBOTTABAD RAID WHICH PO'ED PAKISTAN???
