Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to modernise Mecca by building a retractable roof over the Kaaba - the most sacred site in Islam - in what critics fear will 'destroy the cradle' of the religion. Although the new roof has not been officially confirmed, a video of the 'umbrella project' circulating on social media shows a scale model on display in the holy city demonstrating how the retractable roof would operate.

Nuking Mecca is a popular theme here. In a sense the Al Saud family has done that job as they have destroyed the history of Mecca to make it into Disney World for Muslims.

Maybe all the NFL contractors who will shortly be out of work can submit bids.

I have a suggestion for how to paint the retractable roof.

I think 41’ should have destroyed every bridge and power plant in Iraq. No need to destroy the mosques. Destroy the government buildings like the highway of death and warn them we’ll come back for more next time. Arm the Kurds + the no fly zone. Hindsight will always be 20-20.

Some may see it as the cradle of Islam.

Others know it is Satan's toilet.

How can Mohammed ascend to heaven when he has to go through a roof? This might shake some 800 AD beliefs.

Perhaps they are considering a shield from the local radical drones. All is never as it seems in the Magik Kingdom.

Put one of these over it.

It’s more respectful than what P-brained Bush is wanting for the Alamo.

To modernize Mecca requires just some explosvies and a bulldozer. Thanks C19fan.
