Why are U, the non Muslims, are so interested in vacationing Mecca and Medina ? What ought to U favor to do vacationing the Muslims holy cities ? U exhibit your self obviously that U do no longer like the Muslims / Islam. U hate them to the bottom of your heart. some even regard the holy position of the Muslims as bathroom. Then, what business business enterprise have U were given to visit the Muslims holy places ? both holy cities change into shielded from the non Muslims for the previous 12 Centuries or so as ALLAH knows that the non Muslims will reason damage and dirty the holy position with the inhuman behaviour and brush aside the holy places. As such, ALLAH secure the position with assistance from no longer allowing the non Muslims to visit. on the different hand, both cities are merely for the Muslims to finish their prayer and pilgrimage. it isn't the position for U to savour with woman and wine. i understand U are very curious to attraction to close what's there interior both holy cities, notwithstanding, if U are too fascinated about the Muslims holy cities, get your self sparkling bodily, mentally and spiritually and convert to Muslim. U will be allowed to visit the city, in the different case, shop far flung from it.

Because that is a Muslim holy site for Muslims. I have no problem with the fact I can't go to Mecca and Medina because I am not Muslim. What bothers me is how the Palestinian leaders and groups keep trying to take away Jerusalem from the Jewish majority of Israel. It is the only major holy city in their religion. It is also sacred to Christians. Hebron will have to be split and Bethlehem as well, but allow the Israelis to have their one major holy city, as long as they guarantee access, minority rights for Arabs, Israeli Christians and Armenians, and keep up the sites.

In every country there are certain areas where a common citizen of that country cannot enter. Only a citizen who is enrolled in the military or those who are connected with the defence of the country are allowed in the cantonment area. Similarly Islam is a Universal Religion for the entire world and for all human beings. The cantonment areas of Islam are the two holy cites of Makkah and Madinah. Here only those who believe in Islam and are involved in the defence of Islam i.e. the Muslims are allowed.
It would be illogical for a common citizen to object against the restriction on entering a cantonment area. Similarly it is not appropriate for non-Muslims to object against the restriction on non-Muslims against entering Makkah and Madinah.
Visa to enter Makkah and Madinah
Whenever a person travels to a foreign country he has to first apply for a visa i.e. the permission to enter that country. Every country has its own rules, regulations and requirements for issuing a visa. Unless their critera are satisfied they will not issue a visa.
One of the countries which is very strict in issuing a visa is the United States of America, especially when issuing visas to citizens of the third world. They have several conditions and requirements to be fulfilled before they issue a visa. same applies 2 mecca

There are thousands of non-muslims who visit mecca. it is a beautiful place whether you're muslim or not. did you know mecca is the only place in the worls where there is ALWAYS someone there at every second of every day? i can bet my life that the people who talk bad about muslims or mecca don't really know any muslim people and haven't taken the time to really understand what islam is about. if that did, they wouldn't bash that religion or any other. there will always be ignorant people.

Muslims purify Kaaba from idols and Muslims will never going to worship idols as long as they are Muslims and read the holy Koran and worship God almighty whom order Abrahim (peace be upon him ) to bulit it.
Makkah is the heart of Muslims country and the heart must be 100% muslims

Well, you got some pretty simple decent answers.
Heres another similar question.
Is it permissible for a non-Muslim to enter Madeenah, i.e., to enter the sanctuary (for a necessary purpose)?.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is not permissible allow the kuffaar to take up residence in the Arabian Peninsula. The scholars differed at to the definition of the boundaries of the Arabian Peninsula, but they did not differ as to the fact that Madeenah is part of it.
Ibn Qudaamah said:
It is not permissible for any of them (the kuffaar) to live in the Hijaaz. This is the view of Maalik and al-Shaafa’i, but Maalik said: I think that they should be expelled from all the Arab lands, because the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Two religions cannot coexist in the Arabian Peninsula.” Abu Dawood narrated with his isnaad from ‘Umar that he heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “I will certainly expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula,, and I will not leave anyone there but Muslims.” Al-Tirmidhi said: this is a saheeh hasan hadeeth. And it was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) left behind three instructions. He said: Expel the mushrikeen from the Arabian Peninsula, honour the delegations the way that I do, and he kept quiet about the third. Narrated by Abu Dawood.
Al-Mughni, 9/285, 286.
Secondly:
It is permissible for kuffaar to enter Madeenah for the purposes of trade, without staying there. They should be given enough time (to complete their business) then they should be told to leave. Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
It is permissible for them to enter the Hijaaz for the purpose of trade, because the Christians used to trade with Madeenah at the time of ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him). An old Christian man came to him in Madeenah and said: “I am an old Christian man and your agent has taken the tithe from me twice.” ‘Umar said: “I am an old monotheist (haneef) man,” and ‘Umar wrote to the agent and said: “Only take the tithe once in a year, and do not allow them to stay for more than three days.” This is what was narrated from ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) and they should leave after that. Al-Qaadi said: Four days is the limit after which a traveller must offer prayers in full.
Al-Mughni, 9/286.
Thirdly:
What we have mentioned about Madeenah and its sanctuary does not apply to the sanctuary of Makkah. The kuffaar are forbidden to enter it under any circumstances.
It says in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (3/130, 131):
The majority of scholars – including Muhammad ibn al-Hasan among the Hanafis – are of the view that it is not permissible for kuffaar to enter the sanctuary of Makkah at all, The view of the Hanafis is that that is permissible if there is a treaty or they have permission.
With regard to the sanctuary of Madeenah, it is not forbidden for them to enter to bring a message, for trade or to bring some goods. A kaafir may not enter other parts of the Arab lands without permission or a treaty. The fuqaha’ have discussed this matter in detail.

Because it's not a tourist attraction... it's a place to pray. Other Masjids allow other to come in but this one has special rules.

Because it has a limited capacity and is jammed to the gunnels most of the time.
How could they let religious "tourists" in as well?
