Hello again, Freebird.

Have you read Islamic Jihad by M.A.Khan,a supposedly ex-Muslim.Interesting book indeed.

Also,note how popular are destinations in the ME and North Africa and even Turkey.
People get impressed and carried away by the natural beauty of some places,sweet talk and put on politeness of some locals and the so called Islamic art and architecture without realizing that most of these beautiful structures are a representations of pre-Islamic Persian,Christian Byzantine,Egyptian and certain Central Asian talent.Taj Mahal in India is one such example.
Alas,many western "scholars and experts" dub them Islamic art and architecture.
There was nothing in Saudi Arabia that was known to be equivalent to these cultures and The Prophet had supposedly forbidden his followers against building any magnificent structures.No idea how far it is true.Regards,
