Rare footage from inside the Kaaba, Mecca

The door of the Kaaba is opened twice a year for a ceremony known as "the cleaning of the Kaaba." This ceremony takes place roughly fifteen days before the start of the month of Ramadan and the same period of time before the start of the annual pilgrimage.

The keys to the Kaaba are held by the "Banī Shaybat" tribe. Members of the tribe greet visitors to the inside of the Kaaba on the occasion of the cleaning ceremony. A small number of dignitaries and foreign diplomats are invited to participate in the ceremony. The governor of Mecca leads the honored guests who ritually clean the structure, using simple brooms. Washing of the Kaaba is done with a mixture of Zamzam and Persian rosewater

Muslims also attack people every day, including each other.

Can't play the victim card unless you acknowledge the very real aggression.

@croatl I'M NOT CHRISTIAN, I'M A DEIST. YOU ONLY ACCUSE OTHERES BUT YOU DON'T BLAME MUSLIMS FOR THIS DISLIKE PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST ISLAM. DO SOME RESEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE WHY PEOPLE DISLIKE ISLAM. WHO ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT KILL IN THE NAME OF GOD? MUSLIMS. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE'S THAT MAKE THREATS OR KILL WHEN PEOPLE CRITICIZE ISLAM. ISLAM IS A RELIGION THAT PREACHES JIHAD, HATRED, DEMONIZES THE INFIEL AND TELLS MUSLIMS TO FIGHT UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD BECOMES MUSLIM, 8:39, 9:29. THAT IS WHY

@DictaduraNo123 Please don’t come to Islamic videos spreading hate you don’t see Muslims going to other religious videos saying hateful things. Muslims are constantly begin attack and do u really think if they didn’t believe that Islam was the true religion do you think they would put up with being abused, spit on and discriminated against everywhere they turn really think about it. I sure no Muslim has ever done anything to you.

@fooklm HATRED? BUT ISLAM IS A MESSAGE OF HATRED AND IT HAS THE BAD REPUTATION IT DESERVES. THE QURAN TEACHES MUSULMS TO FIGHT UNTIL THAT WHOLE WORLD BECOMES MUSLIM, 8:39, 9:29. THE QURAN TELLS MUSLIMS NOT TO BE FRIENDS WITH CHRISTIANS AND JEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE "EVIL" AND "GOD CURSED THEM", 3:28, 5:51, 9:30, VERY INTOLERANT AND HATEFUL! THE QURAN CONSTANTLY DEMONIZES THE INFIDEL AND TELLS MUSLIMS TO KILL THEM, 9:5. ISLAM IS A RELGION OF HATRED THAT SPREAD THROUGH WAR, SO DON'T TALK ABOUT HATRED
