Why in the hell would I want to hang out with a bunch of sweaty terrorists and throw rocks at a rock? No thanks, I'm going to disneyworld instead...

Gaddafi is just begging to be relevant again, even if he has to risk his head to do it.

[darkwing104]

It's called a death wish...

[RightOnline]

Thanks but no thanks, Mo.

The Kaaba being a large metallic meteorite should be an excellent source of steel for fine knives.

[Moonmad27]

Why yes, Christian tourists would all be thrilled to be trapped in a crowd of thousands of Muslims circling the rock who hate our guts and who are hyped up on religiosity.

As it stands Saudi Arabia is an Islamic Supremacist nation. One that every muslim honors and prays to 5 times a day with no outcry against the segratation and discrimination of Saudi Arabia.

Jews cannot enter SA. Kufir cannot enter Mecca (a city so holy to muslims, that all are expected to make pilgrimage there and pray to this city 5 times a day).

REAL Islamic reform will come when "Islamic" nations treat everyone the same under the law with no regards to their religion and those citizens have the right to practice freedom of religion including converting away from Islam.

Odd that it would take Qaddaffi Duck to point out the discrimination that exists in Mecca.

Woohoo! I'm booking my tickets right now!

Ummm...no thank you.

Hey Q.... I'll trade ya. You keep your Kaaba and stone throwing and all that and just let us open up a few Christian churches where Christians can worship in the open without the state police hauling them off to jail to be raped, beaten and tortured.

How about setting the example and starting with Libya.

[SerpentDove]

Any Jews or Christians who have the slightest reason to go to Mecca, raise your hands...

[BW2221]

Will airline "Barf bags" be supplied. United and American seem to be the choice of terrorists. Definitely not U.S. Airways.

[KsSunflower]

OK...this isn't necessarily bad. It is the exclusivity and the "follower or infidel" mentality at the heart of the extremist hatred.

We hosted a student from Jordan...a Muslim. He was absolutely shocked that he was "allowed" to attend church with us.

I would much prefer "evangelical" Muslims to terrorists.

[CaliGangsta]

Woo hoo!! Time to cash in my credit card miles!!!! I'm staying at the Mecca Hilton.

[Centurion2000]

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi called to “allow Jews and Christians to visit Mecca and circle the Kaaba (cubical building surrounded by the Sacred Mosque).”

Some muslims would be calling him an apostate by now

[muir_redwoods]

Well Gee, Colonel, thanks very much for trying to win my right to visit a 3rd world stinking hellhole but I'd rather do my own eye surgery that visit mecca with all those slimy muslims.

[hnj_00]

can anyone imagine the stench around that black box....it is bad enough they smell when in small groups!!!!

if that is not reason enough to carpet bomb them...at least do a fly over and spray lysol....

[DManA]

I don't think anyone needs daffy Gaddafi's permission to convert to Islam (which is what he's really suggesting)

[Herakles]

Whatever keeps the monotheistic religions from killing each other in the name of God works for me.

I'm tired of the supposed religious leaders using people like they were tools to be used to further their sometimes twisted concept of God's religion, not to mention their own vanity and comfort.
