This is the Cloak Mosque. Its said that the (a) cloak of the prophet Mohammad is inside. Its a very holy site here. We went on Thursday morning, which is the only time women are allowed. Hundreds of women come to buy verses from the Quran which they consider special blessings, to kiss the place the cloak is entombed, or to buy a lock to curse the womb of another woman. Many women here practice a more animistic form of Islam than what their religion really teaches.
