Banning Non Muslims in Makkah

Salam psyah sahib,

your explanation has one prime assumption i.e., non-muslims most probably may try to damage or do any such act that may amount to disrespect to say the least. Let us accept this assumption for a moment. my question is how do they make sure that only muslims gets in the premises. obviously, name, declaration of the person that he is a muslim or passport (if it bears the name of their religion). right? Do you think, in this age, it would be difficult for a person or a group, intending to damage the sanctuary one way or the other, to fake their identity? do you think it is a viable way to secure the sanctuaries from non-muslims aka miscreants?
The people who call themselves ‘Khadim-e-Harmain-a-shareefain’ should be pretty active in guarding the sanctuaries irrespective of number of doors 40 or 80. limiting the security to one main entrance is simply laziness.

Peace kchughtai

Other than this the pilgrims have a greater right to the place. Over crowding is an issue and it is within their right to ban non-Muslims from the area. Whether people will lie to get in - yes that is a risk … similarly people are asked to swear on oath in a court of law, it won’t make the liar stop lying - but that does not mean you do away with the oath - or are you advocating that too?
