The Myth: Mecca Became a More Tolerant City after Islam

The Religion of Peace ^ | January 11, 2020

The Truth: Most everyone agrees that after thirteen years of preaching his new religion, Muhammad did not have very much success and was forced to flee Mecca with his 150 followers. There he formed an army and returned eight years later to conquer the city that rejected him.

Muslims who are not as knowledgeable about the true record left by the historians of the day believe that Mecca was a city of extreme religious persecution and evil pagans who simply had to be conquered because of the danger they posed. Muhammad then fully forgave the people and everyone lived in harmony, enjoying the new age of peace and religious tolerance that Islam brought to the city.

To this day, Muslims are still at each others throats and there is no Islamic country in the world that truly allows other religions to preach openly and recruit converts as Muhammad was allowed to do in Mecca. In stark contrast to its pre-Islamic history, this city now holds the honor as being the most religiously intolerant city on earth, as non-Muslims are not even allowed to visit... and there is not a single Muslim voice of protest.

Think I will pass on Mecca as a vacation spot

I think there are about 27 or so major conflicts in the world. All but one or two have the same thing in common. Yes, Islam.

Just ignore the gallows over there with non believers hanging from it. Tolerance is more than a four letter word. :-)

I dare a tour bus of homos to go visit Mecca, to prove how tolerant they are.

And our despicable media had no curiosity when our past President, Obama, vacationed with a buddy in Muslim Pakistan?

Mecca became a Divide & Control POWER CENTER after Islam. Wake up PUPPETS. Cut your strings...if you want.

Beautiful architecture BTW

Didn’t the Meccans (and now the Muslims) worship Elagabalus?

I prefer the speed of reading (one Novak or historical book in two evenings with an adult beverage ) but Kindle and library are not with me right now.

I’ll add several references on the Islamic-Mecca historical contradictions tonight.

ROTFLMAO!

SunkenGeek just moved the Pi 4 onto the DVI port of one of the monitors back here in the recesses of Civ manor. Now I don’t even have to move from my chair to view pages, graphics, and vids that aren’t available to the old hardware. All I really need now is a cube fridge and a microwave, and maybe a LifeAlert. And yes, there are books back here...

[A strike]

Obola is welcome in Mecca.

[Snook79]

Non-Muslims are not permitted to enter the city. I fail to see how that is tolerant.

[I want the USA back]

Mecca being a tolerant city. A$$HOLE! Non-m*slims are NOT allowed in Mecca! So of course, it’s tolerant! To m*slims, you a$$hole!

[Widget Jr]

"Most everyone agrees that..."

Only if you accept Islam's own narrative without question. Islam is uniquely hostile to what is honest scholarship in other religions, and superficial in its apologetics, as if it is by design.

Did they put up that sign for Obama’s bus to follow?
