This is a logical guess. Since the Islamic religion does believe in books of the Old Testament, I would assume there would be some kind of reverence toward Jerusalem.

Mecca is an old city in an even older civilization.
It was there long before Islam. I hope it is there long after Islam is proven worldwide to be part of the Judeo-Christian mythology and loses its adherents.

It's always been Mecca. Even when Mohammed was forced into exile in Medina, Mecca was always the prize.

They were pagans before Muhammad and his crew came through and converted masses of people, so it really didn't apply. I don't care if you don't like it, they were pagans, they weren't Jews or Christians, so what else could they have been?

I don't think there was one before.
