Update on 13 Feb 06: An anonymous commenter has informed me that the calligraphy on the turban is the Shahada which reads: "There is no god except God; Mohammed is the messenger of God."

Actually, what it says is There is no god except God; Mohammed is the messenger of God.

Thanks for that information. I'll update the blog entry accordingly.
