Devasahayam, about the Ka'aba

Submitted by Infidel (Canada), May 19, 2008 at 21:18

The Ka'aba existed prior to Muhammad. In it were 360 gods. Muhammad, the father of Islam, banished 359 gods and left the meteorite, also known as the god, Allah, remaining in the Ka'aba. During the Muslim holy day in November, I believe, millions of Muslims circle the Ka'aba, trying desparately to touch the Ka'aba and make a personal contact with Allah.
