I've never seen anything about that except from you.

I have seen that they consider Saudi special because its "the guardian of Mecca and Medina", but other parts of it would have a far lesser status than Mecca itself, and the pilgrimage would be to Mecca, going to say Riyadh wouldn't count for these radicals or anyone else.

And of course a lot of them care about Saudi Arabia, because they are themselves from there.

My trailing stop sold all my GLD, which still was WAY positive since I bought it. It was just under half my portfolio.

Let's see what Monday looks like.

"Muslims like bin Laden see all of Saudi Arabia as Mecca"

Since you seem to think you know what bin Laden thinks....maybe you can tell us where he's hiding. I know some people that are looking for him.

Thats likely saying traditionally Dallas has been the city of Dallas ... but some folks see all of TX as Dallas. That would be folks who are geographically challenged. Ditto with Mecca being all of SA.

Note: Non-Muslims aren't supposed to be allowed entry into Mecca .... but there are loads of non-Muslims working elsewhere in SA.
