I'd love to go and visit the Mosque in Mecca again, just for the sheer beauty of it, not for God - much the way a non-Catholic might go to Vatican City because of the beauty of the buildings and the artifacts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To allow the construction of places of worship other than Islamic ones in Saudi Arabia, it would be like asking the Vatican to build a mosque inside of it.
Even the most radical Islamic terrorist would not want to see the revered holy city of Medina go up. It would be like losing the Vatican in Rome.
You know that ISIS wants to go in and take over the Vatican? You have heard that. You know, that's a dream of theirs, to go into Italy.
I've been to the Vatican more than anyplace else outside this country in the world. I am mesmerized by it.
I'd love to travel to the Holy Land.
The Vatican takes your breath away.
There's one profound difference between secular and religious pilgrimages. It's inconceivable that a Muslim would feel a sense of anticlimax when reaching Mecca. But for a secular pilgrim, the potential for disappointment is always there.
I think if the Vatican is smart, someday they'll collect my work.
Vatican City is a bit overrated in my opinion - no offence to the Vatican.
I have been blessed to visit the Holy City of Mecca.
