The Saudi destruction of Mecca was one of the reasons that made me leave Islam
I think this narrative has been silenced by Saudi money. I was shocked to discover what the Saudis wrought upon Mecca and Medina. They had basically destroyed anything of historical value, anything that relates to their own religion's history. That was deeply shocking to me and I still don't understand how Muslims dont even know about it.
The shock of discovering the vandalism and how soon it happened in time pushed me towards atheism. If Allah is unwilling to protect the holiest land to him then he does not care at all about any of us.
