Beeleever User ID: 1526405 United States 10/31/2012 03:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The key Islamic heritage site, including Prophet Mohammed’s shrine, is to be bulldozed, as Saudi Arabia plans a $ 6 billion expansion of Medina’s holy Masjid an-Nabawi Mosque. However, Muslims remain silent on the possible destruction. Quoting: Tess2012 Work on the Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, is planned to start as soon as the annual Hajj pilgrimage comes to a close at the end of November. After the reconstruction, the mosque is expected to become the world’s largest building, with a capacity for 1.6 million people. Concerns are growing that the expansion of Masjid an-Nabawi will come at the price of three of the world’s oldest mosques nearby, which hold the tombs of Prophet Mohammed and two of his closest companions, Abu Bakr and Umar. The expansion project which will cost 25 billion SAR (more than US $6 billion) reportedly requires razing holy sites, as old as the seventh century. The Saudis insist that colossal expansion of both Mecca and Medina is essential to make a way for the growing numbers of pilgrims. Both Mecca and Medina host 12 million visiting pilgrims each year and this number is expected to increase to 17 million by 2025.

mathetes User ID: 18119575 United States 10/31/2012 03:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find it very interesting that the Saudis are doing this and much, much more. They are constantly destroying any evidence of early Islamic history. The question is what are they trying to cover up? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |
