The president has also pledged to address the Muslim world from a Muslim capital in the first 100 days of his administration. No location has been announced.
Where would you pick - where willhe pick?

Islamabad, I think.

How about somewhere where most of the Christians and Jews have either been killed or driven off?

But failing that, Islamabad sounds nice, if he doesn't bomb out all the homes.

He can't go to Mecca, because he's not Muslim.  The religion of peace and tolerance doesn't allow any non-Muslims there.

Wait.....no, it can't be...when did O go to Egypt?

Or am I just getting confused by the "Cario, Egypt" bit at the start of the article?

Entry forbidden for Non-Muslims

Non-Muslims are not permitted to enter Mecca by Saudi law.[3][45]

    Many religious scholars say this discrimination exists because Mecca was once a city where Muslims - including the prophet Mohammed - were persecuted and driven out. When Mohammed and his followers reclaimed the city, it was declared a sanctuary ... a place where every Muslim should feel safe.

[citation needed]
"Non-Muslim Bypass:" Non-Muslims are not permitted to enter Mecca.

Those who use fake certificates of Muslim identity (to enter) may be arrested and prosecuted by Saudi authorities.[46]

The Saudi government uses the following verse as a Qur’an confirmation for this law, however there are other interpretations to this verse (in particular, People of the Book would usually not be regarded as pagans):[47]

    "O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unpure; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon will God enrich you, if He wills, out of His bounty, for God is All-knowing, All-wise." -- Qur’an, 9:28

The existence of cities closed to non-Muslims and the mystery of the Hajj aroused intense curiosity in people from around the world. Some have disguised themselves as Muslims and entered the city of Mecca and then the Grand Mosque to experience the Hajj for themselves. The most famous account of a foreigner's journey to Mecca is A Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, written by Sir Richard Francis Burton.[48] Burton traveled as a Qadiriyyah Sufi from Afghanistan; his name, as he signed it in Arabic below his frontispiece portrait for The Jew The Gypsy and El Islam was al-Hajj 'Abdullah.[citation needed]

Is there something I have said about the peaceful, loving, tolerant, Islam that wasn't true? If so please point it out.

Jakarta?  Indonesia is reasonably moderate compared to a lot of other Muslim states, and is the most populous Muslim country out there.  Its also just across the water from Australia, a US ally.

Read Sgt. Heihn's post.  I couldn't go to Mecca even if I wanted to.
