Everybody read this. Mecca was a wonderful place untill the Saudis destroyed it.
>tf
>tp
traitorous papist scum
At night
Oh yes, compare one of the finest works of the renaissance to the new rich utopia
Not a single fucking tree
this shit needs to get nuked
>Sauds are willing to bulldoze even holy sites
really makes you think
it's in the desert you dumfuck
>worshipping objects
dirty kuffar
>Top 10 picture that will make you say maybe climate change is not that bad after all
They an afford skycrapers but not to water a few trees? We have deserts too you know
Almost like those weren't actually significant. There's a theory that Muhammad was born in a city now known as Petre, which was formerly the place of the black stone, but during the Islamic civil war, they moved the black stone to a new city; Mecca.
>if it's made by man it's ugly
is this what SJW's really believe? if you hate humans so much you can go to cave or start by killing yourself
just look at this tower
it's like if some retarded sheikh told to architect that it should have his favorite 100000$ golden watches on top
Why would anyone plant trees in the desert? it looks out of place, and it's expensive to maintain.
...
Nah, they were worshiping the black stone in Pre-Islamic times
Jordanian propaganda.
We will need it in Mars.
It's suposed to be an Oasis, city was built around the well of Zamzam
Yes, that's exactly why I was defending Vatican architecture/art and why I posted a city
>if it doesn't have trees it's ugly
wait until feminists are overheated to the level when even this will be a holy place for you if it helps to get rid of them lol
>That yolka placement
One fucking job.
Vatican makes atheists open their mouths in awe. It dabs on mecca with the force of thousand suns.
Yes, you need them for shade and to keep a nice environment and ffs trees are nice to look at, what is wrong with you?
No wonder Jennings writes about conquistadors knocking trees down in Mexico and admiring it lñooked more like Castilla without them
Tolkien was right again.
>knocking down trees in a foreign land to remind you of your homeland
What is wrong with spaniards
looks like somebody stole big ben and planted it in middle of a fucking war zone
Yes. The Black Stone, claimed t be a meteorite, was a pagan idol in the middle of Petra. Arab pagans prayed in its direction and circled it as if it was a planet and they were rotating around it.
The Arabic word for God is ilah. The name Allah comes from a pagan moon Goddess. Muhammad lived in Mecca and appropriated the black stone and the prayer in its direction. He never told his followers to pray in the direction of the black stone, but the holy city, the city where he was born. Mecca didn't even exist back then and the black stone was moved there much later.
Conclusion: Muslims literally worship a rock, a pagan idol and named it after a moon goddess. Why do you think the moon is the symbol of Islam?
What's your point?
What do you imagine the holiest place on earth to look like?
t. atheist
Cringe
>The name Allah comes from a pagan moon Goddess.
[citation needed]
Reminder that the Tower of Sauron is called the "Barad-dur", a very Arabic sounding name. In fact, many of the villains have Arabic sounding names. Sauron and Saruman are also very similar Suleiman, another Arabic/Turkish name.
Same shit both are controlling people's minds. One for their money and the other for their kids.
Something beautiful?
The crescent moon was the symbol of the city of Constantinople after the goddess Isis who was it's patron goddess
Muhammad wrote a lot about how Constantinople was the greatest city on earth
When the Ottomans conquered the city they took the crecesnt moon as a symbol of their conquest, and their status as caliphs
Other muslims followed suit as a symbolic gesture of good will to the ottomans now the symbol is accociated with Islam
crescent moon was used in MENA a long time before Constantinople or the Roman empire even existed, tho.
And the caliphate used the crescent moon before the Ottoman even existed too.
It obviously varies by culture, this is what it would look like for the Mayans
A skyscraper is a bit much by anyone's standards tho tbqh
The Catholic pedophile meme is a fake stereotype. It's a stereotype that has been pushed in Hollywood, the place which real has a far higher rate of child sexual abuse. The Catholic Church has far fewer child abuse rates than other institutions. It happens and it's very well known because it's the last place it hsould happen in, but really it's not that common. And I heard most of the cases are with 15 year olds and often consensual. That doesn't make it right but it's very different from straight up rape of 9 year olds.
>The house of Khadijah, the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad, has been turned into a block of toilets. The Makkah Hilton is built over the house of Abu Bakr, the closest companion of the prophet and the first caliph.
>The only other building of religious significance in the city is the house where the Prophet Muhammad lived. During most of the Saudi era it was used first as a cattle market, then turned into a library, which is not open to the people. But even this is too much for the radical Saudi clerics who have repeatedly called for its demolition.
wahhabi banter is pretty high level
they want to destroy muhammad's grave too iirc.
If I could have one wish it would be to nuke mecca
t.catholic priest
The funny thing is is that child molestation is probably far more common among Muslims than Catholics. We don't approve of young children getting married to old men, for example.
You are pretty thick and ignorant man, for saying that and for still thinking i'm muslim after my first post.
I know you're not, but you need to stop believing in Hollywood lies. You shouldn't be accusing of Catholics of child abuse when you got far greater problems right at home.
>You are pretty thick and ignorant man
again, but what can i expect from a religious fanatic
yeah they turned that place to a concrete block

lmao look at that edgy underage atheist
it doesn't look so bad if you dont think about muslims, in 20 years it could look romantic
Isn't Jerusalem the holiest place for Christians?
He's telling you you're such a donkey and a cuck
Yes, Jerusalem is the holiest place in the scriptures. Before and after the crucifixion of Christ (which ushered in the new covenant), you will notice that the Bible always refers to any approach to Jerusalem as a going up, and any departure from Jerusalem as a going down.
Rome, in contrast, is called a Babylon in 1 Peter 5:13.
And how am i edgy ?
Even the frenchies could understand me better than you do dummie
almost correct but this is a طحّان (except it has more meanings now)
Back in Ottoman times.
Looks better but still not as impressive as Rome.
That's the only fountain in Rome which you cannot drink out of
The rest are all fed by the ancient aqueducts
So under the Turks it used to be your average sandnigga ghetto but under the saudis it's your average sandnigga megalopolis.
>under the Turks
name one ottoman caliph who ruled over mecca that is turk
the meme got perpetuated because they didn't deal with the diddlers swiftly or strongly enough
of course it's the church so it's more likely to forgive than normal society, but they still kept it under wraps and shit
wish nordig baganism was alive so we could make a bigass holy temple
>tf
>tp
This not good enough?
fuck it's so brown
i just want to set it on fire
needs to be bigger and more complex-like like mecca or st peters
and that's a fucking christian church you dummy
It is impressive, truth be told.
>Remove crucifixes
>Replace with Mjolnirs
voila
I think part of what makes Mecca look so crummy, aside from the fact that the Saudis fell for the brutalism meme, is that it's covered in cranes and construction which makes it look busy as fuck.
name one ottoman caliph who ruled over mecca that was turk
They all were european
we opposed the building and destructions of historical sites but (((Saud))) is a blockhead. I wish Allah will smite them off the land and be returned to the rightful heir.
>voila
I know you're just kidding around but there's actual thought put into the layout of a church based around the fundamentals of the religion
go to a mosque sometimes (preferably armed) and you'll see a different pattern from a church, it's usually much less focused
Did Scandinavian pagans even have big temples? I thought you guys were all about sacred groves and big rocks. Or is that the Celts?
there was a temple at uppsala that we have no knowledge of how it looked like
but the nordics weren't populous enough for big ass temples and shit then
>to the rightful heir.
who
JESUS that tower is fucking big.
Rome isn't holy, Jesus never even set foot there. It's just conveniently placed closer to Europe. Like those Pyramids in Las Vegas.
There's foundations for old, big, buildings, many of which churches are built over, so Scandi Pagans probably had temples of some kind, but they probably weren't very big. A European Pagan temple didn't have to be big however, because the laity would interact with the priests/gods in ceremonies outside of the temple instead of inside of it.
Aren't many of the oldest Stave Churches not actually built with the cruciform pattern? I believe I read somewhere that the oldest ones follow a layout that's much different from Roman churches.
mecca clock tower is 600 meters
big ben is 100 meters
The Hashemites have had custody of the cities since the prophet mohammed died, so basically the family of the king of Jordan
confidential details. jews will want him dead. sorry.
probably, but I have a feeling they still were christian structures
here's a cool stave-esque church from 1900
why are nords uncapable of making something pretty
is it the climate
Afaik they destroyed a whole bunch of ancient forts and other buildings to make room for that ugly monstrosity of a tower.
Its whole purpose seems to be enabling rich fucks to look at the Kaaba without having to mingle with the common plebs. Very religious.
Ben looks like a wristwatch compared to that thing. "Praying towards Mecca" must be easy.
No, but the soil is pure granite. We were physically unable to cut anything prior to the invention of dynamite by Alfred Nobel.
I don't give a rats arse Ahmed your man posted a picture and said it was Mecca under the Ottoman empire
Any form of building is a straight downgrade from the native wilderness when you live in the north.
Yeah I'm sure they just hated escaping the cold woods into warm halls.
>their religion's holiest site isn't essentially just a wall
I'm talking in terms of beauty, not in terms of practicality
stave churches are nice
fuckoff, it's a perfectly fine church for a town that had somewhere between 200 and 12000 people when it was built (I can't find a proper concensus for 1912)
this is great
