Go south of Israel along the Red Sea. I want you to head for Mecca. It's the Arab city where Mohammed was born.
Clarify. Who is Mohammed?
You tinhead. He's the founder of Islam, one of the biggest religions in the world. Stop outside of the city, though. You can't enter if you're not Muslim.

Isn't she a sweetheart?
