    I agree that the city should not build such things. To keep it holy would be a positive.



    Instead, why not take the opportunity to help promote the economies of the tangential region?



    Take Haridwar for example. It is a holy city. The pilgrimage areas are kept pure of such things....but the outerlying areas are being developed.

    ... Now as they make the pilgrimage clothed in simple white cotton wraps, they will see something other than the stark black cube known as the Kaaba, which is literally the center of the Muslim world. They will also see Starbucks. And Cartier and Tiffany. And H&M and Topshop.



    more proof that saudi arabia is an islamic nation in name only.

    Its is unimportant, except from an esthetic perspective.



    Soon, the meaning of this symbolism will be seen as referring to the son of Reality, the Truth.

    The cubic New Jerusalem, the cubic Most Holy Place, this cubic Kaaba is the graphic representation of the mind that holds the image of Reality in its grasp, the Truth.

    According to the criteria set in the Quran. The House of Suud has never been the best example for the followers of Islam.



    And Scmizlam is practiced in the 11th dimension.
