Correct The so called 'Black Stone of Kaaba'is a meteorite and is it that to which Muslims actually bow down in prayer 5 times a day and not the Borg Cube in which it is house



I don't mean to sound dumb, but I never heard of the Borg Cube before, what is it? Thanks.

I think it's supposedly a building built by Abraham. Tradition holds that the metorite was the first stone he laid. They don't worship the rock.

Google Mecca & Medinah. I need to reread some of that stuff.

The "Borg Cube" reference is taken from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

It was the artificial planet constructed by the Borg, who were part-computer, and who assimilated, via a mind-meld, every other civilization they encountered.

LM's reference to the Borg Cube of Islam is a comparison of the Borg Planet to that Big Black Cube in Mecca, around which Muslims march and pray as the center of their religion.
