Nope, pretty confident I know exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe you should learn your own Islamic history before making such bold claims.

Yes, grave sites are blasphemous. Oh how ignorant I have been!
Yeah we aren't supposed to promote idolatry. True. But as for it being 'fine' to make Mecca in to Vegas, its really not fine.
A lot of people manage to save over years and then go to the Hajj, there also people who even walk there! A while ago some Indian couple did it and this year it was a Bosnian man. He even walked through Syria during the heat of conflict.
I haven't done the Hajj, i did the lesser pilgrimage when i was younger but imo it didnt count because i didn't do it out of choice. I would do it again though, I remember it being really soothing and just peaceful, well, Medina was more peaceful than Mecca. I know a lot of people who have done Hajj though and no one has come back with negative experiences as far as the pilgrimage itself is concerned.
I wasn't aware that non-muslims arent allowed in to the Dome of the Rock, its not a mosque btw, but the compound itself holds a mosque (Al - Aqsa, often confused with the Dome of Rock in terms of its importance, its also the place where Ariel Sharon went with a few hundred soldiers which is what sparked the second intifada). So unless your going there with a loaded semi-automatic or a a private troop you should be okay.
Well like I said im not sure if non-muslims are allowed there. I hope they are though.
Great previous post by the way.
I hate it when people say these sites need to go because it's idolatry. Visiting a grave isn't idolatry, nor is is worshiping the dead. Praying to the dead isn't worshiping them either. The dead are closer to God than the living ever will. They have come to their realization before we have and we pray that they can intercede so we can right our ways in this life.
"Ina'illah wa'alayhee ra'jioon"
From him we have come, and to him we shall return."
They know, and don't... heh... yes... I'm worshiping my grandparents.. right!? Hah! The Wahhabi just want to kill. They make up any excuse just to mark someone as a blasphemous person.
