Keep in mind "Safa" is known to archaeologists to mean "Birch" in English.
According to an authoritative source (clears throat) - "When the founder of Islam (the future Mrs. B.) was asked to give proofs of her teaching, she ordered Mount Safa to come to her. This would demonstrate her great power and control over even the awesome Mountain. When Mount Birch (Mt. Safa) did not comply, Mohammed raised her hands toward heaven and said, 'God is merciful. Had it obeyed my words, it would have fallen on us to our destruction. I will therefore go to the mountain and thank God that he has had mercy on a stiff-necked generation.'
Of course as we all know, this led to the phrase "If the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed will go to the mountain."
Whether the future Mrs. B. will go to the mountain, or whether the mountain will move remains to be seen. I'd wager on a mountain any day. Especially a Birch mountain.

Very interesting. Good use of trees, IMO.
We should have a contest to see who comes up with the best name for the soon-to-be Mrs. Birch Mountain.
Birch Mountain
So what game is going to be played first? WOTR?
A name for the new Mrs. B? How about "Mohammed"?

At first I thought "Mohammed" was just a random synaptic firing, but after that story it makes sense. I vote for "Mohammed."
Can I have one?
I'm sure we could get a BMBP shirt over to Europe. Shouldn't be a problem, all be extra sure to make it super arrogant and American.
Can I call her Ali for short?
