When Mohammad was given the message of Islam, he found it unbearable to know that the Kaaba had become a storage place for idols. Why? Because it was associated with Abraham? There are a couple of speculative stories about this involving Angels and such but I had not heard the one about a meteor until reading Joe's article. I'll believe that when I read about the discovery of a large impact crater in the Mecca area. A rock that size hitting at the velocity that could be expected of a meteor is going to do a lot of damage. The pilgrims that go to this site (the Kaaba) during the two weeks of the annual Hajj period now number aproximately 2.5 million. The well has maintained a level of output that accomodates the pilgrims comming. It has maintained a steady level from when it was a few thousand visitors to what it is now. You're not trying to sell this as miraculous, are you? It sounds like the well taps into a large aquifer. Probably the same aquifer that results in Mecca being located there.
