Re: Medina: Saudis take a bulldozer to Islam’s history
But the irony is that there is so much commercialization in mecca right up to haram shareef (my friend has been there) and everyone, except blind saudi family followers, see the uselessness of having a giant palace right next to the haram. I know that this is a medina thread, but things in mecca aren’t going that well either. Saudi arabia is huge, so I don’t get why they can’t do all the commercialization outside the cities and then connect it with train or meglevs as they do have tons of money. It is not like the hajj is for free, so I think it is time that muslims all over the world have a say in what happens in mecca and medina. I would say that OIC would be that perfect body granted that the body is given some muscle to enforce decisions.
Muslim countries need to summon the saudi diplomats short of expelling them so the saudis get a clue.
