Mecca is a mecca for debate and multicuturalism
by Warren
The NYT has an interesting story about how Mecca, unlike the rest of Saudi Arabia (generally speaking) is a fairly tolerant, open city, filled with debate and awash in multiculturalism. It’s a pretty interesting read, at least for a non-Muslim like myself who knows next to nothing about the place. This may be old hat to Muslims or others who are less of an ignoramus than I am. 🙂
