Clerical kooks Update. The chief of culture, guidance, and Qur'an matters in regional Awqaf in Egypt, Shaykh Husayn Sa`d Ad-Din, said in an interview here that the Prophet visited him in "dream visions" and gave him on five different occasions letters to Husni Mubarak. One of the letters dealt with the reform of the people in Mahrusah. He was asked how Mubarak appeared in "the vision". He said: "The president was very good indeed, and beyond what you imagine. President Mubarak is "pretty pretty" in the [full] meaning of the word, and all will chant for him. And the president is very simple, and loved by people." (thanks Laure)
