The Sacred City of Mecca: Have We Got It Wrong? | TRACKS
TRACKS ^ | 6-18-19 | TRACKS

Posted on 08/02/2019 11:57:03 AM PDT by fishtank

"The Sacred City presents compelling evidence that suggests the holy city of Mecca is in the wrong location and that the worlds 1.6 billion Muslims are praying in the direction of the wrong city. Compiling evidence from both historic sources and new technologies point to the correct location in this seismic, revelatory new film.

It would not surprise me as everything about this religion is wrong. Mahomet was a prophet; he was not. There are no prophecies in the koran. Mahomet was an illiterate epileptic, and adulterer, murderer, thief, and pedophile.

The koran is a holy book. It is not, it is a hodgepodge of stories and sayings put together in illogical and unreadable fashion. Even Arabic scholars agree that 80% is unintelligible. The qa'ba is nothing but a rock with a few hundred names of allah on it, nothing more, yet is deserves veneration and the haj is made into a pillar of Islam. If it were to disappear, the entire religion would collapse. Phony prophet, phony book, phony rock, phony city, ergo: phony religion.

Reminds me of a Glencannon story I read in my youth in the Saturday Evening Post in which the unscrupulous Glencannon persuades a praying Malay (I think) that he’s pointed in the wrong direction and sells him a pocket compass at exorbitant price. I forget whether he leaves the Malay praying to magnetic north or not.

Which is why some of us have been arguing for almost 18 years that nuking Mecca would save millions, if not billions of lives - with the desert rats converting to Christianity, Judaism, or atheism - what else could they do? Pray to a radioactive hole in the ground were the Christian God took out allah? The humiliation would never end.

Well, there was the bomb maker that accidentally blew up his class, as well as himself. Does that qualify?

Pretty interesting vid on the geography of cities and sites mentioned in the Koran and why Mecca may not be as holy as thought

Yep - they are supposed to face straight down - that's where their "god" lives.

I'm interested to hear what you think about it after you get a chance to look at the alignments of all the early qiblas that pointed to Petra, NOT to Mecca........
