For Shame

Religion News Service | Blogs | Omid Safi - What Would Muhammad Do? | Saudis say No to the Prophet Muhammad, Yes to Paris Hilton


What's really not funny about this is that it seems Mecca is becoming what it was before Mohammed. Why did the Quraysh tribe try to kill him? Because he was interrupting the tribe's economic gains from the pilgrimages to worship the idols. Tsk. We are supposed to learn from our past, so as NOT to repeat it. Is today's' Mecca any better than in pagan times? May Allah guide them...
