...their part, the drug manufacturers stand firmly behind their products. Merck says its own meta-analysis, which contains data that weren't included in the JAMA study, shows that Vioxx is safe for the heart. Others have focused on the study's admitted limitations, including its direct comparisons of dissimilar patient groups. Says Dr. Michael Friedman, a senior vice president of Pharmacia: "The JAMA article is based on theory, not on solid data...

Muslim texts make it clear that this was not a physical experience but a visionary one (not dissimilar to the heavenly visions of the Jewish Throne Mystics at this time). One night Muhammad was conveyed miraculously from the Kabah to Jerusalem's Temple Mount. There he was welcomed by all the great prophets of the past before ascending through the seven heavens. On his way up he sought the advice of Moses, Aaron, Enoch, Jesus, John the Baptist and Abraham before...
