This is precisely why Makkah and Madinah should be sovereign entities, similar to the Vatican, where no single nation can claim them as property or political tool.
Imagine Italy demanding support from all cotholics because they have Rome lmao 
Some of this is more fresh in my mind because I recently listened to a new episode of Revolutionary Left (RevLeft) Radio that gets into it: From Persia to Iran: Islam, Empire, and the Politics of West Asia. You might want to give a listen. The guest is Adnan Husain ("Professor of Medieval history and Chair of the Religious Studies department at Queens college") who also hosted the Guerilla History podcast. Anyway, they talk quite a bit in good depth about the history of Islam. The stuff I mentioned in my other comment I already mostly knew about, but there was a lot more in this episode that I learned. They also discuss the relevance of this deep history with respect to the current war the Great Satan and the Entity are waging against Iran.
Oh cool, hopefully I can listen while doing stuff tomorrow, since my all day bellyache is finally subsiding! Bookmark, thanks so much!
You're very welcome. 🫡 And sorry to hear you were in pain, glad of course it's improving though. Be well, comrade!
Thanks so much! It's my own fault, I didn't eat enough raw veggies.
Can't skimp on the
