As per Koran, there were Jewish tribes in Mecca/Medina before Mohd showed up with some funny verses (as per Salman Rushdie Satanic Verses)..

This is nothing but religious apartheid...

When South africa had racial apartheid, the whole world protested.

But why is no one protesting Saudi arabia's religious apartheid ?
