Consider me converted. <br /><br />I used Google to see if there were others like us who also want to nuke Mecca, and I found someone who is right on <a href="http://www.truthandgrace.com/muslimnuke.htm" rel="nofollow">the same wavelength</a> with us.<br /><br /><i>I have already made the case that Mecca is central to Islamic forms of worship. Mecca, I have argued, is a Temple City. Although many Muslim theologians will deny that any place is holy in Islam, there is at least a de facto holiness ascribed to the area surrounding the Kaaba stone. In many ways the city of Mecca is central to Islam in just the same way that the Temple of Solomon was central to ancient Judaism. It is this similarity which is so striking, and why the destruction of Mecca might do to Islam what the final destruction of Herod's Temple in Jerusalem did to Judaism. While the bloody events surrounding Rome's sacking of Jerusalem are indeed disgusting and tragic, that event forced Jews to rethink their relationship with God. More importantly, that event forced Jews to rethink their relationship with their fellowman.<br /><br />Without wishing to reduce all of Jewish history or life to one paragraph, and thus leaving out the many facets of ancient Hebrew worship, let me go ahead an do that anyway (with many apologies up front--and welcoming any corrections or differing opinions). Ancient Judaism had a legal structure which was similar to Islamic sharia in that they both unify the religious codes thought to be handed down by God with secular authority. In fact, the Old Testament laws seem just as draconian as any I would find in sharia. There is just something about stoning adulteresses that I kind find of harsh, that's all. I know such applications of Mosaic law were probably rare, but Muslims would argue the same thing about the strict application of sharia law in the ideal Islamic state.<br /><br />Ancient Judaism also had another commonality with Islam: worship was centered on a holy place of ritualistic practice. After the destruction of the Temple, though, Jews had to ask new questions about the meaning of being holy. Stateless, they found that strict religious codes of conduct could not be enforced in the same way as before. While the Jewish Diaspora had already begun the process of transforming Judaism, the final destruction of Temple centered worship forced this transformation on a broader scale.<br /><br />Jews found that God no longer had a place to reside in. Jews found that they could no longer perform the rituals required by God to be purified. Jews found that they could no longer enforce God's law. Jews found that their specialness was different than they had previously supposed. Worship changed. Everything changed.<br /><br />What I propose is simply this. Would destroying Mecca begin a similar process for Muslims?</i>Teresitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-82872456281661735232011-08-22T20:47:44.867-04:002011-08-22T20:47:44.867-04:00Libyan Draft Constitution: Sharia is ‘Principal So...<a href="http://blog.heritage.org/2011/08/22/libyan-draft-constitution-sharia-is-principal-source-of-legislation/" rel="nofollow">Libyan Draft Constitution: Sharia is ‘Principal Source of Legislation’</a><br /><br />If true, that Jew in London will have a hard time returning home to run for office.allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798524644256471907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-75488433646201566192011-08-22T20:39:18.615-04:002011-08-22T20:39:18.615-04:00Report: Libyan Leader Moammar al-Qaddafi May Flee ...<a href="http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2011/08/22/report-libyan-leader-moammar-al-qaddafi-may-flee-to-venezuela-cuba/" rel="nofollow">Report: Libyan Leader Moammar al-Qaddafi May Flee to Venezuela, Cuba</a><br /><br />He can fly nowhere without our knowledge and permission.
