Dear JGN, I assume, you claiming to be rational by your post but your arguments are baselss unless proven. I would assume so unless you could quote me the source of "Islam is Arab Imperialism" mentioned above. FYI- Kaaba is there not to worship but to ask all the Muslims across the world to face only in 'ONE' directions of Kaaba symbolizing that there can be only one center to a circle just like there is one God to this universe. If you think Muslims worship Kaaba than you are wrong. We worship Allah the ONE and ONLY. It was a command from Allah to visit the house of his friend Ibrahim (Prophet of Islam) in Quran. You see when ignorance prevails there is no room for rationale as you suggest. You need to go back to the sources to be rational and that can be only found when you have a constructive dialog with peers who know about the suject.
