pagans weren’t slaughtered, their idols were thrown out of the kabba though. and the kabba was built by abraham and ismael, not by pagans, the pagans took over it after a while and muslims took it back.
and why do you care? this happens more than a thousand years ago, it really doesn’t matter.

u r right….
..i guessed it was more for the economic reasons to keep mekka as a center of islam….
Islam was established much before that !!!
Mecca was the place where the pagans and polytheists slaughtered muslims becos they purified their belief in one true God. Mecca was the place where Hinda ate the liver of the uncle of Prophet Muhammad`s real uncle. Mecca was the place out of ehich muslims were driven out after going through the greatest attrocities in history. Its holy becos Mecca is the place which was later conquered by muslims, and each and every muslim forgave each and every pagan and polytheist for all the attrocoties they put them thru, where Hinda kept hiding from prophet Muhammad knowing what she had done and knowing that now Muhammad who was once ridiculed in those streets, that same Muhammad has the power to eat her liver….. but what did Muhammad do …. he forgave her graciously. Mecca is that place of forgiveness, un-selfishness for the sake of God. Mecca is holy because thats the place where all false gods were abolished, including the false gods that humans harbor in their selves, in their egos, all those material and immaterial false gods of stone, selfishness, pride, oppression, miserliness, and many such were abolished.
Mecca is holy.
Kaaba is just an indication of a direction muslims face when they pray, and it indicates the direction for muslims to be free of all false gods that humans worship and harbor in themselves and their egos.
Mecca is holiest because it brings together all muslims to that place, a place for them to meet, to exchange ideas, and to pray. No pagans were killed there, and the temple were not destroyed by mohammed’s army, it was destroyed long before Him.
Pagans were slaughtered in Mecca. That is a deliberate lie spoken by people who hate Muslims and Islam growing so fast in west. Those who become Muslims changed into a decent human being and never commit crimes. Americans should be thankful to Muslims that they are changing their society for good.
Black Muslims are best example for being decent people.After their conversion they don’t commit crimes and never go back to prison. What more do you want?
