It just the stupid mecca box - it has gold embroidery on it and those are people walking around it.

I think the wheel thingy in the picture has something to do with this little explanation I found in a Google search:"
"As the centre of Islam is Kabba [Mecca], every mihrab of every mosque is aligned with it. Thus the whole of Islam can be seen as a wheel with spokes radiating from Kaaba.. given that a significant number of muslims are praying towards mecca a huge human centric mandala is formed, with energy directed at a common center, Mecca and the stone"

It's funny how these islamics are so vulnerable by throwing all their eggs into one location (or 2 or 3 big ones at least) that can easily be destroyed, taking their entire culture down with them. They just don't have a clue.
Israel, England, or the USA.. Possibly even Russia, are all totally capabable and will be willing to do so in the case of another major attack.
Of course, I'm sure this is how it'll end up. The islamics are just exactly that stupid.

I think the wheel thingy in the picture has something to do with this little explanation I found in a Google search:" That's correct. Mecca is the center of the "web", and all Muslims face Mecca each time they begin prayer. Once, when my company constructed a production facility in a Muslim country, we mistakenly oriented the lavatories so that the users' back sides faced Mecca. We had to completely redo the facility to avoid this circumstance. This is a significant issue for them.
