I decided to do a little checking to see where there are Islamic holy sites, the list is as follows:
Mecca- Saudi Arabia
Medina- Saudi Arabia
Dome of the Rock- Israel
Hebron- Israel (West Bank)
Mashhad- Iran
Qom- Iran
Now, which one of these are we ‘occupying’?

I will point out that when US troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia, non-Muslim soldiers and marines were strictly forbidden from even taking the roads leading into Mecca and Medina, let alone approaching those sites.
And remember that Ron Paul's Al-Qaeda buddies were angry that Shi'ite citizens of Saudi Arabia as well as Shi'ites from around the world were allowed into Mecca and Medina by the Saudi government - because Paul's friends believe that Sunnis only should have access.

If you listen to the MSM (or Al-Jazeera), it seems that the world is simply stiff with islamic "holy cities". There are at least two in Iraq (Karbala and Al-Najaf); probably many more. Do a little more googling.
I won't be surprised when some enterprising mohammedan starts claiming that Vatican Hill, or Capitol Hill, or Mount Fuji are "islamic holy sites". The definition of "islamic holy site" seems to me to be very plastic.
On the one hand "we" might very well be occupying some "holy site" where Mad Mo took a dump. On the other, I don't much care. Mohammedanism is aggressively expansionist. "You're occupying a holy site" is just an excuse.
