Re: Defacing Mecca

@Med911

Well is it to much to ask for any development that does go on, be done in a more respectable manner? I mean did the Saudis ever ask anyone elses oppinion when they built this gaudy monstrosity (and that is what it is)? Obviously there must be some development, but that being said, development should proceed keeping in mind the sensitivity of the sight. Something the Saudis dont do when they bull doze through whatever they think is in their way.

Do you really want them to turn Mecca into the Las Vegas strip like their doing in Dubai?

Wow. Talk about selective interpretation. Rizla is right. Mecca is physically within the Boundaries of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The House of Saud is known as the caretakers of the two holy sites of Islam. They have been doing so for the past 80 years (the time period the House of Saud has been in power). They can pretty much do what they wish. While the Kaabah belongs to all Muslims, Mecca does not. It is a Saudi city.

The decisions is theirs to make. Feel free to disagree with it, but realize the futility in arguing about something that shall never affect you.
