They don’t need to start a religion...Some people already worship there.

I know folks who cry and whine about not being able to make their house note, but somehow find a way to take the whole family (6 of them) to Disney and stay ON PARK for at least a week.

Not destroyed enough.

And BTW, the op-ed wins the award for pointlessness. Piss and moan, piss and moan. Mecca's the property of Saudi Arabia, they can do whatever they want with it. I'm encouraged that they're interested in modern urban living, it's a nice change, even though there's nothing intrinsically or universally attractive about urban architecture.

:’) Those could really use a case of Mohammed toilet tissue, but the trouble is, no one who visits those toilets will know what it is.

Or lied to by the murderer Elijah Mohammed, not least about how the Nation of Islam isn’t really a branch of Islam — a renegade black scientist thousands of years ago invented the white race to punish his fellow blacks; the paradise on Earth will start when UFOs arrive and shoot rays out which will selectively kill off non-blacks? Really.

I doubt anyone lied to Malcolm X about islam, he spent 18 weeks being instructed at the mosque in Cairo before he converted in April 1964 and made the hajj.
The ideology which promised that islam would destroy the ‘white devils’ suited him well enough to promise that by 1970, 90% of the American blacks would be converted to ‘true’ islam’.

He wasn’t able to keep his promise personally, his assassination in February 1965 put a stop to that, but when the POTUS declared that the US was a muslim country, he wasn’t far wrong...the US is one of a few nations in which the muslim population numbers in double digits.

When he talks about chopping off the heads of the white devils, he sounds like he’s a member of IS.

Notice no violent protests over muslims destroying their own holy city!

When ISIS beheads Abdullah at the Kaaba and dynamites those buildings, get back to us.

Sardar contends that the present backwardness of non-European countries in science is mainly due to their past colonization by Europeans. Article.
Sardar’s Lifeline
Ziauddin Sardar was born on 31 October 1951 in Dipalpur, Northern Pakistan. As a small boy, he migrated to London, Britain, following his father who had established a foothold there a few years before. He studied physics and information science at the City University in London...

http://www.riseofthewest.net/thinkers/sardar01.htm

As an information scientist, he worked at the Hajj Research Centre of King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, where he developed a simulation model for the performance of the pilgrimage to Mecca. He simultaneously wrote books and worked on evenings as a journalist. He then migrated again to London, and worked for science periodicals like Nature and NewScientist, before joining television as a reporter. After this, he became consulting editor of Inquiry, a Muslim magazine. He set up a “Centre for Future Studies at the East-West University” in Chicago. Between 1994 and 1998, he was visiting professor of science and technology policy at the Middlesex University...

EXERPT:

Obama first got into factually murky waters on Monday when, during an interview with France’s Canal Plus Television, he stated:

“If you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.”

During Thursday’s speech in Cairo watched around the world, Obama backed off this assertion, although the President frequently employed language to suggest there is a large Islamic presence in the United States:

“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders….So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America.”

But how many Muslims actually live in the United States, and how does its population rank worldwide?

The data on the precise number of adherents to Islam in the United States varies greatly, with many organizations estimating over 5 to 6 million

Just shows how schizo Islam is. The native Salafists were happy with what the developers did to destroy Muslim-Muhammad heritage sites in Mecca.....

To compound this madness they all worship a false prophet anyways so are wasting their time here. Nothing from nothing is nothing. Fake moon god-false prophet.
