[edit] Comparison to Christianity
Why not explain Mecca in terms of its own significance instead of comparing it to Christianity - especially when the comparison is weak (Christians aren't obliged to face any particular city when they pray, or to go on a pilgrimage to that city...) PFoster 16:37, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
[edit] snark
So, when is snark ok, and when is it not?--WaitingforGodot 16:45, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
- Depends on the snark, and who you're snarking about, in my books. In this context, the Muslims have enough non-Muslim Americans and Euros snarking on them that we don't really need to add to it unless it's to bring something really new to the game...PFoster 16:48, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

- Yup. and I'll stand by it for a number of reasons. Think of it as Affirmative Action Snark. PFoster 16:58, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
- That's a bit disappointing. I had rather hoped for Equal Opportunity Snark. --AKjeldsenCum dissensie 17:07, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
