Who would want to see a worthless building in a land that meant nothing in the past.Muslims claim that Mecca is the center of Islam and Mohammud's birthplace but history says that's a lie.Mecca is not mentioned once in any of the historical books of that time as it should be if it was the center of the world.The other thing is Mohammud was born over 300 miles away from the city according to historians.Plus the koran is said to be from the lips of the prophet himself except it wasn't written until over 300 years after Mohammud's death.This means there wasn't even a great great grandchild of someone from Mohammuds day that could give personal accounts.

Of course, the very same can well be said for the Old Testament. Semitic peoples have traditionally been well-able to recite verbatim long texts or messages they have only heard once.
