  • @mity15

    It depends on what you mean by "white muslims". If you mean white as in muslims who are american/english anglo-saxon, they're not typically as numerous as muslims from other ethnic backgrounds. But if you mean white as in anybody who is caucasian, there are many muslims like that. They usually come from eastern europe, turkey, iran, syria, russia and the ex-soviet countries.

  • @2468Shock Perhaps White Muslims are rare I do wonder why as I see very few compared to Blacks and Arabs and all the ones ive seen most likely converted.

  • None Muslims are banned under Saudi Law from entering Mecca so this is all you can see looks ok

  • When they go back to their countries, they then start acting like assholes and make live miserable for us the nonmuslims... so much for the "peace" that this religion offers... :-P

  • @MuhammedistheDevil <-- no U OMFG OWNED LOL!

  • @glennirish o-HOE! XD

  • A HA! :D Good to see Mecca is still a place of trade just like in the time of mohhamad peace be upon him :D
