according to prophet Muhammad (pbuh),even the Antichrist who would have great powers will not be able to enter Mecca nor Medina,as they will be guarded by angels,he would go to every place on earth except these two.

It is true that non-Muslims are not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, by law. The following points will serve to elucidate the possible reasoning behind such a restriction.
1. All citizens are not permitted in the cantonment area
I am a citizen of India. Yet, I am not permitted to enter certain restricted areas like the cantonment. 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.
2. Visa to enter Makkah and Madinah
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. When I visited Singapore, it was mentioned on their immigration form - death to drug traffickers. If I want to visit Singapore I have to abide by the rules. I cannot say that death penalty is a barbaric punishment. Only if I agree with their requirements and conditions will I be permitted to enter the country.
d. The Visa – The primary condition required for any human being to enter Makkah or Madina is to say with his lips, La ila ha illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah meaning that ‘there is no God but Allah and Muhammed (pbuh) is His Messenger.’

you have to ask this question to Mr. BUSh.He might reply you sooner or later, because he has right to promote democracy in the world. After Iraq,Iran , North Korea ,he might think about your question.Whenever Saudi Arebia have democracy,than only non muslims can enter in Mecca.

according to the WHO (World Health Organisation) Mecca is one of the most concentrated breeding grounds for sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, AIDS and Gonorreaia
The crime level is also above the international level, and living standards are relatively low. There was also talk by the UN to build a 30 foot high wall around the city to prevent the escape of the residents who would be a threat to foreign socities.

Because
Islam is pure
makkah is pure
Quran is pure
we guard our pure religion.
whereas let us see what christians do with 'holy book'
The Pasters of high denomination of Christianity declared that there are 50,000 errors in Holy Bible.
www.jamaat.net/bible/AwakeArticle(1957).html
www.al-sunnah.com/bible.htm - 43k.
www.muslimworld.co.uk/errorsinbible.htm
www.ahmed-deedat.co.za/bible/14.html
Example of biblical interpolation, corruption and addition by pasters and these pasters deserve the plague according to Jesus pbuh.

16 Pasters of high rank removed the verse John 5:7 from Bible. Because this verse advocates the concept of trinity.

There are more than 2,000 versions of bible in this world.
Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
First Roman Catholic Bible was published at Rheims in 1582.
Second one published at Douay in 1609.
These called RCV version of Bible.
The Protestants regarded 7 books as ‘apocrypha’ (doubtful authority) and removed them from Bible.
(The Book of Judith
The Book of Tobias
The Book of Baruch
The Buck of Esther, etc. )
Jesus pbuh said in the book of Revelation Chapter 22 Verse 18-19 ". . . If any man shall add to these things (or delete) God shall add unto him the plagues written in this Book."
On deleting 7 books from bible, the Catholics call ‘cult of Christianity’ to the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.

NO!
I don't know about angels, but the Wahabi Tanks are real, and so are all the machine guns and troops around there!?!?
And they check to see you're really a Muslim, if you know what I mean!?!?

Christians and muslims are dumb because they base their belief on faith, which means, do not question , just follow what is written in the book . The church and mullahs has to say that because otherwise, the Bible or the koran becomes a crock, with many inconsistencies and many things that simply do not make sense.
So they stay dumb and traditional for another couple of years.
