Should non-Muslims be allowed to enter Mecca?

[ParadigmShifter]

Nowadays we allow all sorts in UK kebab restaurants, at least for a while.

I think the guy may have been Sikh though.

Kebab "restaurants" were one of the best things about (southern) Sweden.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Man I really want a kebab now.

 

[Ecofarm]

I bet they have really good Kebab in mecca.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Probably, most Kebab shops round are way are Halal anyway.

I did not realise until this moment I was not allowed to enter Mecca.

I've never desired to. But it disgruntles me a little than I am barred.
Almost as much as being barred from North Korea.

what with the Capitol area of Washington D.C. only allowing corrupt individuals to enter.

Not all of them are corrupt, some are just stupid. Of course, most are both.

 

[Abaddon]

Nah, it takes smarts to be properly corrupt. They don't get caught.

 

[choxorn]

Given the large amount that DO get caught, they're obviously stupid and corrupt.

On 11 June 2009 the DPRK Government announced that it would no longer issue visas to UK citizens. This problem has now been resolved, and the DPRK government announced on 17 June that visas are being issued as normal.

Knock yourself out, just keep an eye on your camera and pants.

I hold now tolerance for irrational and archaic ways of thinking applied in a general manner on the people. This is not a question of culture or whatsoever, but a question of reasoning, of using your mind.
Sadly this is not inherent for human beings. Archaic thinking is.

Should this day in age non-Muslims be allowed to enter Mecca?
-Yes. There should not be any discrimination.

Should we respect Saudi Arabia's sovereignty in discriminating against non-Muslims?
Should we respect Nazi Germany and their discrimination against racial minorities?

Should the Catholics retaliate by not allowing non-Catholics into the Vatican City?
-That is silly

Should the road signs in Saudi Arabia be in Arabic only?
-That is up to Saudi Arabian government.
