To tell you the truth, I wouldn't want to visit the Middle East or Africa. Both are pretty violent hellholes.

I'm thinking of going to Mecca this summer  ;D. The women there are tznius from what I hear. You think I can get a minyan and some Kosher food? Is there a Chabad out there? I asked this Muslim girl in one of my classes last year what would happen if I went there, and she said that I'd have to get rid of my strings (tzitzis) and little hat (kippa) for starters. I would definitely go there with my tzitzis out!

I thought it was against Saudi policy for Israelis to enter Saudi Arabia much less in Mecca.

It's illegal for all non-Muslims to go to Mecca.

And I'm glad it's illegal for non-Muslims to go there.

I wish it would be illegal for Muslims to be in the USA.
