How come no one has destroyed Mecca? How come Christians and Jews put up with it?

Question

In the bible Christians were told not not put of Idols, how come we do it today?

Answer 1

Jews are not allowed to enter Saudi Arabia.

Muslims see Jews as sub-human and do not want them near their "holy" rocks and shrines.

Answer 2

Yes,someone by the name of Abrahah,an Abyssinian General based in Yeman did try but without success.

Mecca has been a pilgrimage centre even before Islam.Abrahah seeing Mecca prosper, built a grand Christian church in San'a to attract pilgrims and to rival Mecca as a pilgrimage centre but a pagan Arab rascal make a mock of him.
Angry and with a large army consisting of many elephants he headed for Mecca to destroy the Kaaba.The Meccans ,seeing the elephants for the first time,did not put any resistance but was asked to vacate to the mountains.
Fortunately for the Meccans,the whole of the Abrahah army suddenly perished and the House of Allah was saved

That year marked an important event that the Meccans called it the Year of the Elephant,and its the beginning of Arabic calender.
Mohammad was born on the same year.

Forty years later Allah revealed to Mohammad that He is the one that saved the House from destruction by its enemy..

Answer 3

Why should Christians or Jews wish Mecca destroyed? Why would a Jew that wanted Mecca destoyed not also want the Vatican destroyed? Why would a Christian that wanted Mecca destroyed not also want the temples of Asia destroyed. And who put Christians and Jews in charge anyway?

Answer 4

Sweetheart, when God kicked us out of Eden because of our sins, he invented a thing called "free will". It is your choice whether to believe or not. Destroying other peoples religious centers because it goes against the teaching of the Bible is not a very good example of Gods love. Judge not, least you be judged in return. It's not your place, my place, or anybody else's place to judge your fellow person. All we can do, as Christians, is teach the Word, and plant the seed. You can't force belief in God on anyone else. And if we destroyed Mecca, we would be no better than the extremists who kill and destroy all in the name of their God. The only God an extemist follows is the devil. That goes for people of all religions.

Answer 5

Who in the world would want to destroy Mecca? Are Christians and Jews into death and destruction?

Answer 6

You are saying it like the universe was made for the christians and the jews, sham on you, beleive me you know absolutly NOTHING about muslims and islam and everything you read about us is wrong, did you know that israel has killed more than 1000 civilians untill now ? one thousand lebanes civillians in 4 weeks and civilians means women, childrens and old men, hundreds of childrens died in their beds while they were sleeping in their home in the middle of beirut the cabital of lebanon and that is soooo much away from HEZBULLAH and all the fighters, israel is only killing the innocent childrens and women, they can't fight with honor. read BBC news they are close to the real thing and if you want the exact trouth with pics, watch aljazeera, and i promice, whenever you open it you will find live transmission from lebanon showing what is realy happening .

Answer 7

What do you mean PUT up with it? Do you wake up every morning, and think to yourself--We have to put up with that stupid Mecca again today... ??? I hope not... We as Christians do not put up with it, we tolerate it and respect it.

I wish people would stop being so IGNORANT.

Answer 8

It is so sad to see you are a fundamentalist. Not better than the guys taking over planes and crashing them on buildings.

Answer 9

Ummmm...tolerance? Leading by example? Appreciation of history, fine arts and craftsmanship?

Answer 10

Jesus Our Lord and Saviour came to save not to destroy.
