| #5 per the Salafis, the existence of historic sites has the potential to encourage the worship of such sites, or the worship of God through an intermediary (e.g., the mother of Mohamot), etc. |

| #4 I picture one of those rakes that they use on the infield in base ball only WAAAAYYYY bigger. It starts at the Black sea then all the way down to the Red Sea, then allll the way back to the Black Sea, then alllll the way back to the Black Sea... It keeps doing this moving one row to the East with each pass. It stops when it hits India. |
