   FYI, Islam does not claim that Mohammad rose from the dead.  But the
Shi'ite sect of Islam (the minority sect living mostly in Iran, Iraq, and
Jordan) claims something similar about their 12th (and last) Imam.  He
disappeared (died) and re-appeared again and was in communication with a
small circle of his followers.  Finally he disappeared for good and
will come back again to save the world from an anti-christ-like figure
and will lead the world to Judgement Day.

   The point is not to say that the Shi'ite claim is any more (or less)
valid than the Christian claim, it is only to say that it exists.
