Nabuls is a Holy City in Palestine, although it used to called "Neapoils" this is Supposedly Christian, However it has been overthrown by islamacists many a time.\n\nAwarta is of Islamic religion, however Christians have tried overthrowing it too.\n\nIt is difficult to comment on who they are truly holy cities for. Religion was first devised to bring unity and peace to large groups of people. and the two cities are saturated in a religous war between two stuborn groups of people who have been fighting for so long they actually have no concept of their own true religion i.e. peace, love and tranquility. they do not deserve such holy cities.\n\nThis Is NOT a dig at Islam it is at the whole shambles of what modern society beleives is religion.\n\nFighting for Peace is like Having Sex for virginity.

Mosque architecture was actually adapted from churches, so it is not too strange that they look alike.  I think there are various types of churches there.  The ones you are talking about may be catholic.

In arabic, specifically the Quran/Islam, here is an explanation\n"Be conscious of your God in your 'arham'". Arham is taken from the word "rahim", which means the womb or the uterus of a woman. Arham here means relatives. This is an urge in Islam for what we call "attakaful" known in the western world nowadays as welfare or human services. "Wathakul arham" means: be conscious of your God when you establish your relationship with your relatives.

I think what you are referring to is the Ka'ba, which is in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It is not a wall, but a cubed structure (originally rectangular). The Muslims pray in this direction 5 times a day, and if they are financially able, make pilgrimage to it once in their life (as an obligation).\n\nYou can see a picture here:\nhttp://www.islam101.com/images/kabah51.JPG

He was a noted Hanbali preacher, Sufi sheikh and the eponymous founder of the Qadiri Sufi order (selsela). He was born in Ramadan 470 A.H ( About 1077 AD) in the Persian province of Jilan (Iran) south of the Caspian sea. His contribution and renown in the sciences of Sufism and Sharia was so immense that he became known as the spiritual pole of his time, al-Gauth al Azam (the "Supreme Helper" or the "Mightiest Succor"). His writings were similar to those of al-Ghazali in that they dealt with both the fundamentals of Islam and the mystical experience of Sufism.

Because Makkah, Medina and the Dome of the Rock are places of worship, not tourism.\n\nThere is only one purpose of visiting those places and that is worship.  If you are not there to worship, you have no purpose there.\n\nYour Visa into these places is to declare: There is no God but the One God and Muhammed is His Last Messeneger

It was largely pagan.Before the coming of Islam, most Arabs followed a religion featuring the worship of a number of deities, including Hubal, Wadd, Al-Lat, Manat, and Uzza, while some tribes had converted to Christianity or Judaism, and a few individuals, the hanifs, had apparently rejected polytheism in favor of a vague monotheism.\n\nBy the fourth century AD, the Arab kingdoms of the Lakhmids in southern Iraq and Ghassanids in southern Syria had emerged just south of the Fertile Crescent and ended up allying respectively with the Sassanid and Byzantine Empires. Thus they were constantly at war with each other on behalf of their imperial patrons. However, their courts were responsible for some notable examples of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry, and for some of the few surviving pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions in the Arabic alphabet. The Lakhmid kingdom was dissolved by the Sassanids in 602, while the Ghassanids would hold out until engulfed by the expansion of Islam. Mecca was conquered by the Quraysh around 500CE and was already a religious centre.\n\nThere was a split between the Arabs who lived in towns near oasis growing dates and supplying trade caravans and the Bedouin who lived as nomadic pastoralists. This split still exists in Arab culture today.

Zahedan, city in southeastern Iran, located near the borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan, the capital of Sistan va Balochestan province. Lying east of the Dasht-e Lut desert, Zahedan is the main economic center of the region and home to many small- and medium-scale industries. Its main products include cotton textiles, woven and hand-knotted rugs, ceramics, processed foods, livestock feed, processed hides, milled rice, bricks, and reed mats and baskets. Highways link Zahedan to Tehran and Mashhad (Meshed) in the north, the port of Bandar Beheshti on the Gulf of Oman in the south, and the Pakistani city of Quetta in the east. A rail line also runs from Zahedan to Quetta, and a long-planned rail line from Zahedan to Kerman in central Iran was being constructed in the mid-1990s. Zahedan is also served by an airport. Like most Iranian cities, Zahedan has a Friday mosque, where many members of the community gather to worship on Friday. It also has a Sunni Mosque, a Sikh temple, and ruins of an old fortress. A colorful bazaar patronized by the local Baluchi tribes can also be found in the city. About 100 km (60 mi) south of Zahedan is an intermittently active volcano, Taftan, which rises abruptly 4,042 m (13,261 ft) from the surrounding plain. Although the surrounding area has some ancient sites, Zahedan has developed only in the 20th century. Before being chosen as the provincial administrative center in the 1930s, Zahedan was a small village. Its population reached 17,500 by 1956 and increased more than fivefold to 93,000 by 1976. After 1980 large numbers of refugees fleeing the invasion of Afghanistan by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) helped to triple the population of Zahedan to more than 281,000 by 1986. Population (1996) 419,518-.

Islam is but hinduism is gaining ground.  However, the fastest going is people leaving beliefs completely becoming either agnostic or athiests
