Re: All I know is that they won't let me visit Mecca..

No infidels permitted within 30 kilometers.


I have no problem with leaving the Mecca's holy environs to the Muslims... I believe other religions as well have their sanctuaries: Orthodox Jews don't accept non-Jews in their synagogues (?); in Europe, several Christian monasteries don't accept visitors... Ever heard of the monastery of Mount Athos in Greece? Here you're:

hri.org

Excerpt:

The Exhibit, covering an area of 1,600 square meters, will present works that are indissolubly linked with the founding, history and daily life of the Mount Athos monasteries. It is an unprecedented event, especially for women who are not permitted to set foot on Mount Athos. As the Minister of Culture Evangelos Venizelos has stated, this is an unrivalled exhibit with far more splendour from the exhibit "The Glory of Byzantium" which is on display at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Why instead don't you go to Cannes or Crans-sur-Sierre. or even Puta Ala! There you can drink, womanize, skii, take sun and enjoy your life! What is there in Macca? Hajer-el-Aswad? They can keep it! ggg
