     OP - January 01, 2013, 05:02 AM
    I don't know if this is the right place to post this.

    Quote
    For years now, people have been complaining about how the Saudi government is ruining Mecca with its obnoxious renovations. Thanks to runaway consumerism, the ancient city is overrun with luxury hotels, an awful clock-tower looming over the Ka’ba, and numerous malls and public toilets where holy sites used to be. The latest news is that Paris Hilton’s fashion empire has opened up a store in Mecca, and Muslims worldwide are again disgusted at the apparent poisoning of our holy city.

    There are plenty of reasons to despise the Saudi custodianship of Mecca. Their ruling brand of extreme Sunnism, enforced by police squads of skinny teenagers in khaki uniforms, oppresses any Islamic traditions that fall outside its approval, including not only Shi’a but in fact many Sunni practices. The holy city isn’t a bastion of gender equality, and the ongoing development has only exacerbated its economic inequality. For poor pilgrims who have saved their entire lives to make hajj, it’s impossible to find accommodations anywhere close to the Great Mosque.

    Yep, pretty much it's not news for us ExMuslims, but I suppose the big deal is that this article is written by Michael Muhammad Knight, convert to Islam and author of The Taqwacores.

    “The Messenger of Allah PBUH said, ‘Surely the best places are the mosques and the worst places are the markets.’”

    I find it very ironic that the supposed holiest “best place” on earth is literally flanked on all sides by some of the world’s biggest “worst places.”

    I agree. But not because of religious reasons, but because of historical reasons. The Saudi government is basically destroying historical landmarks and archaeological sites.

    Makkah is a cash cow and the Saudi princes are milking it for all it's worth. There may have been a time when the city had some of the charm and aura that one would expect in an ancient center of pilgrimage, but those days are long gone. Today, with its seven star hotels, gleaming shopping malls, and hideous sky scrapers reaching high above it's jagged desert mountain peaks, the city has the spiritual appeal of the Vegas strip.

    Saudia Arabia is nothing without oil. 

    Once they start running out of oil they will also start losing international influence.

    We have to wait for the oil to run out for the decline of the Saudi theocracy and we have to wait for the mullahs in Iran to die so the secular youth can take over..   

    Decline of political Islam seems like a big waiting game to me..

    Hey even the Dark Ages had to end some time. And the Dark Ages, Christians were really ass deep in religious bullshit and superstition it's a miracle Europe ever recovered from it. Arguably I think it was worst than Islamic practices today.  If Europe could recover, and ultimately turn mostly atheist/secular I think eventually the Middle East will too, once it reaches it's breaking point of violence. But.. the sad waiting game. Then in the next 300 years they'll look back and it'll be such an embarrassing aspect of their history.

    I totally agree with that, Sakura.

    It's sad to think that even as Galileo muttered his famous, "And yet, it moves" he would never have the comfort of knowing that centuries later he would be vindicated and celebrated the world over. Yet there must have been a sweetness in knowing that despite all the forces against him, he had the truth on his side. Not the "truth" of dogma based on faith, but the truth of facts based on evidence. Islam, in spite of itself, will ultimately share the same fate in history as the the inquisition, the Salem Witch Hunts, and The Atlantic Slave Trade, yet none of us will likely get to see it.

    The difference is that there was plenty of time to wait for political Christianity to fall and for the religion to become secular but that is not the case today.  

    I think it was Sam Harris or Hitchens that said this but now there is the danger of islamic theocrats and terrorists to obtain weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and combine that with religously brainwashed and uneducated masses and it will take only a few years to completely destroy civilization as we know it.

    Actually the theocrats in Pakistan have already got their hands on nuclear weapons so something has to be done fast. We really can't afford to wait 300 years.  

    The war against Islam has to be fought much more intensely because of this time constraint.

    Every time I see a Christian talk about how much better than Islam their religion is, it's like bitch please! You owe that to the enlightenment!
    I hope that there's some kinda enlightenment in the middle east one day Undecided inshAllah

    By the way Does it really matter if Al-Aqsa mosque is destroyed?

    Actually I would be against destroying the al aqsa mosque because it is a historical site and it would be a shame to see it demolished.

    The same way I would be against the demolition of any other historically significant site.

    Arguably with the inventions of guns you could say it was the weapon of mass destruction at the time with the extermination of many tribal people who only had bows and arrows at the hands of the British. Nuclear is really deadly but you have to remember it takes years and years to build one, then building a missile to put it safely without accidentally detonating it. THEN successfully launching it at your target, without being detected and without accidentally fucking up the surrounding areas if it mis-fires. And I'm just saying Israel is a tiny ass country surrounded by large Islamic nations, LOL imagine a mis-fire or it drops outside of its target. Maybe I'm being too hopeful but I doubt the religious zealots in the Middle East have the competence to do all that. Plus they've made more enemies than allies that would promptly beat the shit out of them. Also with Western technology we're more likely to eventually clean-up and recover from  a nuclear attack versus a poorer country, if they were to get hit back soooo yeahh.

    That's my whole point.  Remember theocrats are religiously motivated so they won't hesitate to nuke another country if they believe they are going to be rewarded for it in heaven. They are not the most rational people out there.

    And yes if that country get's " it's ass kicked" then the death toll will be enormous.  Not to mention the long term health hazard one detonation of a nuclear bomb will cause let alone multiple.

    They wouldn't get nuked, probably just invaded from every possible angle (and then some).

    Still, I guess if they thought they were going to get their juicy virgins for it they might still go for it...
