I have once attended a Q&A session with Dr. Zakir Naik and one of the Non-Muslims in the audience asked this exact question. And Dr. Naik answered it beautifully:

Dr. Naik: “Let’s suppose I buy an air ticket to Washington DC and then travel to the Pentagon. Would anyone let me in?”
Guy in the audience: “No.”
Dr. Naik: “Why not?”
Guy in the audience: “Because it’s the Defence Ministry of the United States.”
Dr. Naik: “And the Masjid Al-Haram is the Defence Ministry of Islam. And while it is very difficult to get an access pass to the Pentagon, it is very easy to be given access to the Defence Ministry of Islam. All you have to do is say the Shahadah with sincerity and you will be granted access.”

An hour later, after listening to Dr. Naik answering some more questions from other people in the audience, that guy came to the microphone again, said the Shahada and became a Muslim.

If there’s no Islamic reference for prohibiting non-muslim visiting these places then I don’t buy Zakir Naik’s logic. He’s gets funded by Saudis so obviously his opinion would be in their favour. And we don’t make nukes in there so comparing it to Pentagon is stupid.
