Many years ago, a meteor fell in the Arabian desert. The primitive humans who saw it fall to Earth thought it was a rock from the gods, and built a shrine around it. They've been woshipping it ever since. Not even Mohammad could stop them from considering the rock to be "sacred", so he made up a story about Abraham bringing it down from Israel.
If ANOTHER meteor falls on Mecca, would it still be considered "a rock from God"?

Muslim tradition says that Adam found the rock, and Abraham found it later. Someone needs to brush up on their Muslim history ;)
