Re: Where is Kaaba?
Some folks still want to see makkah and area around it as it was back in 8th century, well times are changing and as more and more people make their way to kaba, more and more space is required to accommodate them.
We should be focused on LEARNING from history rather than preserving it... how many people die of stampedes on hajj? Less space + More people = dead people
Well if you have been to Mecca you would know that there IS space in the city other than just along the boundaries of Kaaba. I wish they could make buildings as high as they wish to but just a few kms away. It will definitely make the space less congested and less stampede and more alive people.
And about the history thingie, well if you do not PRESERVE it then how can you LEARN from it?
