The destruction of Mecca: Saudi hardliners are wiping out their own heritage
Btw, I've read some time ago a fringe, but very interesting, book about the non-existence of Mahomet and the falsehood of the early history of islam. While I was not convinced, the theory exposed was sufficiently backed by actual finds and others books to be very thought-provoking (I've never read Ibn Warraq, my bad, will have to remedy that, but it is my understanding that he posits a similar theory about the early days of islam, minus the "Mahomet mythical patriarch" bit).The interdiction of archaeological searches by infidels in Medina and Mecca would be so very convenient for the tenants of official islamic history... and so would be the actual erasure of their past. Regardless of that, this article a good thing to remember next time someone complains about the lack of western respect for islam... look at who is doing the desacration.
