Al Fadi and Brother Mel continue their talk  about the connection between Islam and the Zoroastrian religion of Persia.  Today they talk about the myth of the Buraq; which Muslims believe it  is a flying horse, which took Mohammad to Jerusalem to Al Aqsa mosque and then to heaven. The origin of the name is Persian which means : A riding animal, a rider or a horse.  In Zoroastrianism a demon god rides on a horse.  This shows the willingness of Islam to copy other religions.  They also touch on the origin of the names Aisha and Fatima. They think that they are Jewish names of two wives of Ishmael according to the Jewish Tergum.
