-Yes 133 millions , donated by Saudi Govt., are peanuts since last 1400 years saudis have been living on Haj money from muslims all over the world. Now that they are sucking more of their money by selling them oil and have gotten very fat, shouldnt they cough up a lot more of their billions?

-Third holiest place? Mohammed never visited Jerusalem, let alone taking off from there on his Journey to heaven on the flying horse, (a make believe story from quran).

-There is no legal adoption in islam (adopted children have no legal rights according to quran). It was stopped after Allah married Mohammed to his adopted son's lovely wife Zainab and declared that he did it to set an example and to make it easy for other father in laws who may lust after their adopted son's 's (pretty and young) wives ( 33.37). In 33.40 Allah made Mohammed's adoption of Zaid null and void after there was an uproar in Madina on this marriage of a father in law to his adopted son's wife,an incest by arab tribal customs.
