>>54660919The Kabba is probably one of the most historically desecrated religious artifacts in the world.
Before Islam it was a box containing idols of all the religions of the area, because the city was a trade hub. There were 4 others like it in other cities, each containing a different colored rock believed to be a meteorite.
Mohammad sieged the city, shattered the statues within the building but kept the the stone (because according to Muslims he placed it in the corner of the kabba ten years before inventing islam) and made the place his first religious conquest.
Since then the place has been raided, people have shattered to black stone and defecated within the boxes walls.
Every time they just glue the rock back together with silver and repair the box. In addition, Sunni (or maybe the other one, I forget) consider the thing to be pagan in the same vein protestants consider half of what Catholics do pagan. They'd be happily cheering over its destruction.
