Huh what's missing there, oh yes the Japanese holy city of Kyoto.

Do the Japanese pray 5 times a day facing Kyoto? Must all Japanese make a pilgrimage to Kyoto at least one in their lives? Mecca has far greater importance to Muslims than does Kyoto to the Japanese.

Mecca is central to Islam. It comprises 2 of the Five Pillars of Islam. I say, reduce it to 3.

The point remains that Japan's most holy city, Kyoto, was spared in World War II.

If I were - God forbid! - a møøslimb, I'd have to think long and hard about worshiping a god who couldn't even protect his most sacred site from a mere atomic bomb.

Is he omnipotent or not????
