Indeed very sad. But the essence of Mecca would not be destroyed.

Muslims all over the world, either young or old, rich or poor congregate at Mecca to perform ibadah, to purify their soul, recharge their soul with blessings from Allah. Nothing else matters. Whether one is staying in a motel far away from the mosque or the nearby tall hotels, the most important is our heart or soul, our intention.

As to the tall buildings at the surrounding Arab countries, it reminded me of a book I read about the end times. The last place that would be destroyed in the end times is the place near the centre of the earth that is near Mecca and Medinah. While other places in the world started to crumble and destroyed, Mecca and Medinah would be the last standing before everything becomes nothing.

Astaghfirullah - Beg forgiveness from Allah.

Nur,
THe Protocols are a proven fraud as abuayisha has already pointed out.
Laugh if you so want.
And what is this book you refer to? Would so love to read it. Show me the voice of the Prophet stating the same then I will start to listen.
OK the zionists as you call them might lead people away, but I don't see the Saudi's encouraging the poor believers to attend the hajj. They will be held accountable for that too.

Saudi oil is finite so likely they are planning for this inevitability.  Also, the numbers of those making hajj and providing accommodations, with limited land space, you can only go up, given their going up big time, but I do think some legitimate planning has gone into this project.  Hajj provides good income to the region, not to mention umrah visits throughout the year.  Muslim are among the richest on the plant, so why not provide a comfortable (money making) experience for those who can afford it?  Trade is halal.

 

I was joking sis, I would never defend these filthy oil shaykhs who issues fatwas to kill Muslims, forget that, who build over the historic relics of Islam, who force Muslims into slavery and starvation on the streets of Mecca and issue a fatwa to the whole world about how bidah and harram everything is, I was trying to say that kind of reply would be what our “sala---fiiiii” brothers and people with serious IDC (identity crises) would say.

 

I was trying to say, these people with Identity issues will always make excuses for their Saudi and Dubain masters. Remember according to them, we should reform ourselves before we criticize these dogs (their masters) who build toilets over Islams holy sites.

 

Hope that makes it clear.

This seems like another attempt to blame the west. How long will you blame western culture for something that has been going on for centuries!?! Most human cultures build large towers to exalt themselves to the heavens and be equal to gods and God. This is not the western cultures fault. Most egostistical building designers want to get their monies worth by building a suitable structure that not only exalts their employer but also beats out their competition.
