They don’t none-muslims because the city is already too crowded. Where they are gonna put people when none-muslims show up?

I am assuming that exceptions are made by the authorities for non muslim journalists who wish to cover the Hajj. Is my assumption correct

to answer your questions about how do they know you are muslim, most probably they wouldn’t care and wouldn’t ask..but incase they made a checkpoint they will simply ask for your Visa as it will state the purpose of your visit!! by the way, I am saudi

they deny non moslims in general but they don’t go around to find who is and who is not moslim. they expect the visitors to be in mecca for the reason of worshipping the lord. and some non moslims DID visit the holly city of mecca and made a great report about; PETER JENNINGS. the late Peter Jennings who used to work for channel 4 i think.

Your passport doesn’t show religion but your internal document or visa to visit Saudi Arabia does. The intrenal document is obvious as the non-muslim (read christian as that is the only other religion allowed) ones are a different colour. You need to specify your religion when applying for a visa.
Look also for the bypass that circles the city so you can proceed around the restricted area and back onto the highway.

I always thought the point of religion was to be inclusive and not exclusive; to voluntarily illustrate to others the beauty of your faith and what you believe. Strange how if I were to go to Vatican City, St Paul’s Cathedral, Golden Temple, etc for any other faith, there would be no problem in me visiting and seeing for myself what it is about the faith.

But to exclude all others strikes me as peliculiar. I find it odd that since 9/11, Muslims complain of being isolated and ostrasised by the world when really they choose that for themselves. The world was not divided by faith by the rise of Christianity in the Middle Ages nor by modern US foreign policy, but by the founder of Islam himself, who divided the world into those who are Muslim and non-believing infidels.

I would normally find this hard to believe that those of a different faith would not even be allowed entry into a city, but frankly less surprises me each day.

I apologise if this sounds a little vitriolic, but modern day political correctness is enough to drive anyone insane.
