Gilberto: Yes, I agree. But the fact that one of those lists was almost 4 times longer than the other one is not just some coincidence, and its not just that you might be more familiar with Western examples. It has something to do with how those communities tend to think of the possibility of future prophets. The way they are rejected is different as well.
