#5 You mean it's not like the 235th most holy place in Islam? (Or something like that?)

Halliburton must be to blame somehow.

And what exactly is a "progressive Canadian Muslim broadcaster" anyway? Someone who will wait ten years for imposition of sharia? He allows his wimmin to show their faces in public?

#6 (peace be upon him)

Whenever I see this abbreviated (PBUH), I always think it's the way you write a spitting sound.

#7 Wahabis dont like material manifestations of Islam, while lots of others do. This is like when Protestants in 16th century europe went around destroying statues and stuff in Catholic churches, out of hatred of images. Note Wahabis in Chechnya, and Bosnia, got locals upset with them for this kind of thing.

#11 This is mentioned in John Bradley's great book, Saudi Arabia Exposed.

The Wahhabis have for years been destroying relics and historic ruins that are part of the history of Islam. Their reasoning? To prevent idol worship. Geeezzzz!

Also, tells me something: If the Wahhabis are willing to destroy the relics of Islamic civilization, do you think they give a rat's ass about the Pyramids of Giza, the cathedrals of Florence, Rome, Paris, Chartres, ...skyscrapers in NYC?
