Apartheid City

Dhimmi Watch brings us news of the arrest of a non-Muslim who dared to enter Mecca; the entire city is off limits to infidels.

After his identity became known, the man admitted he was Christian and that he had come to Makkah to earn money. “I heard that Makkah is a safe place, where I could hide my identity,” he said.

Col. Suhail Matrafi, head of the department in charge of Expatriates Affairs in Makkah, compiled a report about the case and presented it to Col. Ayid ibn Taghalib Al-Lukmani, the head of Makkah’s Passport Department. Al-Lukmani has ordered the man be sent to Jeddah.

“The Grand Mosque and the holy city are forbidden to non-Muslims,” said Matrafi.

Almost begs for some city in the West to declare itself forbidden to Muslims, just to see what would happen. I can imagine the outrage here in the West already- particularly from Muslim rights groups. Wonder if any of the same people who'd oppose the idea would be in favour of allowing non-Muslims into Mecca?

Ask your liberal friends what they think of an entire city being posted off-limits because of your religion.
