I was surprised when the movie said that the Kaaba was built by "Abraham, the father of the Jews" -- a reminder that the faiths have a lot to learn from each other.After all that Dowd still can't bring herself to single Islam out for criticism alone.

I suggest she relocate to a muslim country to enjoy the blessings of being a woman among barbaric misanthropes.
That should give her some “insight” into Islam’s “complexities.”

I've seen an opportunity to visit Saudi Arabia.Don't know if I'll take it...for several reasons...one being that I've heard conflicting reports regarding whether or not "tourist" visas to Saudi actually exist.
If I do go I'll steer clear of Mecca not because I'm not curious but because I intend to die with my head still attached to the rest of my body.

I know the only non-muslim to go to Mecca. He’s from Ireland ironically and an atheist to boot!

I notice that she takes a couple of smackss at Judaism. She just can’t resist it, although there is no moral equivalence.

The Saudis did make an exception for the French in 1979.
Officially, not into the Kaaba but the city of Mecca......

It’s been said for years that Israel threatened, that if ever attacked by a Nuclear Weapon, the Magic Rock would be the FIRST target hit by a retaliatory strike.

I noted that when 15 Saudi hijackers joined four more proponents of radical jihad and flew into the twin towers, Islam had been hijacked as well. He nodded. Hijacked? It's been that way from the start.

You bet! Those crossed swords on the flag of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are not there for decoration.
