Cawralo Posted July 9, 2005 Some of Makka's most historic sites, possibly including a home of the Prophet Muhammad, are under threat from Saudi real estate developers and an influential Muslim group that view them as promoting idolatry. "They (Wahhabis) have not allowed preservation of old buildings, especially those related to the prophet. They fear other Muslims will come to see these buildings as blessed and this could lead to polytheism and idolatry." And listen to this.. Angawi, who founded the Haj Research Centre in 1975 to study and preserve Makka's and Medina's rich history, claims to have identified a home of Muhammad. But he is reluctant to publicise its location, fearing it would be demolished like Dar al-Arqam - the first school in Islam where the prophet taught. :eek: http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/A72A6C88-0492-4803-90AD-FC69482A6D56.htm Even thought I am against it, I have to admit that the so called "wahabbis" have a point on this issue.
