BiLaaL Posted October 19, 2010 Yep, he did make a stop at Mogadishu. You can find a nice piece here, detailing some of his achievements and his family's roots in Islam. Not only was he a preeminent Chinese Muslim Admiral but some authors even credit him with visiting the Americas prior to its supposed 'discovery' by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Check out 1421 - the Year China Discovered the World. Inscribed on top of the tomb are the Arabic words "Allahu Akbar (God is Great)". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
