A tidbit of Islamic history

It might surprise many from the left to learn that Muhammad, the prophet and founder of Islam, planned on expelling all Christians and Jews from Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, he died before his followers were powerful enough to implement his vision, which in a narrower sense, actually lives on today. Non-muslims are not welcome in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. I challenge all non-Muslims, who are complaining about President Trump’s restrictions on individuals from certain nations, to buy a plane ticket and fly to Mecca. We could make bets on how many minutes would pass by before they are arrested and carried away.

It still goes on, either by expelling or sequestering and taxing all non-Muslims in many of those countries.
