#2 Let them have free reign. Let them erase all signs of Mohammed's existence from the planet.

#3 Maybe the Wahhabis seem to be doing an excellent job of destroying islam. All signs of a Profit all the holy places. the Wahhabi idolatry of power will do more to destroy islam than the west could do. Touble is, how much longer will muslims submit to lunacy disguised as "most pious expression"?

Decades more, I fear. But this is good press for the insanity of the House of Saud and their deal with the sand devils.

#4 The Wahhabis live in fanatical fear that places of historical or religious interest could give rise to alternative forms of pilgrimage or worship. Their obsession with combating idolatry has seen them flatten all evidence of a past that does not agree with their interpretation of Islam.

"Not Muslim enough" comes to Mecca. Must be their version of NIMBY...
