Snow in Breda One Year ago,

The horse was not known to them and the inhabitants were surprised 'at some feats' performed by the Mufti's horse. The people were 'masters of beauty and wore a dress made of goat's skin and let their hair hang down the shoulders. They drank wine and always sat on chairs.

They worshipped idols made of stone or wood and called them Baruk or Maha Dev. They wore iron rings in their ears and a string ornamented with shells round their necks.
They sacrificed cows on their holidays and when asked where God is, they pointed their fingers towards the west (Mecca is towards the west). They read the 'Kalimah' to please Muslims but also confessed that they were Kafirs.
