JLM:
I have heard of this, but tbh I think it could be a fake. I want to believe it's real as that would just further confirm my faith and other people's too, but why would it be in Turkey? :confused: Is there even any evidence that Jesus was there?

There are no evidence that even the Turks were there in time of Jesus (2000 years ago). During that time; the turks were still roaming in the central asia region alongside their cousin the mongols and other Altaic tribes.
The area which now being called as "Turkey" was once a colony of Greece (yup you heard it Greece although the modern Turks don't like to hear this fact) and was also the homebase of the Hittites. 2000 years ago it was part of Roman empire, after the Roman subjugated the Greeks. The area was named as "Anatolia". Many (ancient) cities within Anatolia region are often being referenced in the Gospel; such as Ephesus, Laodicea and Pontus.
Jesus himself perhaps never been there, yet his disciples and followers migrated there after being heavily persecuted by the Rabbanic Jews in Judea / Galilee province of Roman empire.
Salam / Peace

Salaam,
Hittites remind me of saying Hittatun while entering the door.
BTW, I came across the holy stone [hajr-e-aswad] of Hittites at http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4541151
This holy stone concept is very old ??? or is this the same holy stone in so called Kaaba ?
Anyways, just a food for thought and sorry for :offtopic:
May Allah help us and guide us to His true path :pr

Shalom Aleikhem,
I could be wrong, but I think the one in Kabah is the fertility goddesses's genital thing !! And ofcourse I find that very similar to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingam
One thing which always bothered me is , who designed the casing for the Hazre Aswad ?!! Was that the only shape that the guy could think of ?
Peace
