The muslim shrine is called "Masjid Al Haram", which means The Holy Mosque or sanctuary.
Now we all now, that the Masjid Al Haram is located ind Makkah (It is called Makkah, because the arabs thought the word "Mecca" was misused, and they changed the spelling. Which also brings me to why Makkah is called Mecca in civ 4 and not Makkah, but that's not very important), with the Kaba as it's center, Kaba means cube in arabic.
My question is, why does the muslim shrine look like the Dome of Rock in Jerusalem? Why didn't they just call it "Dome of Rock", or why didn't they change the graphics, so it looked like the Masjid Al Haram, or atleast the Kaba?
