Is Islam true?.

[Idaho]

This may be true to some extant, but often these customs etc are just the result o following the koran or a "holy" book.But I do disagree on koran only mentioning Muhammad twice, it does often. Mecca is good question 1 sec. Here are some reasons Muslims see mecca as important [posted b-4].

Muhammad was born in mecca
mecca was center of worship before Islam, 360 tribal deities tribes in Arabia made the pilgrimage to mecca before Islam.
week long pilgrimage to mecca pillar number 5
In mecca is the ka'bah a black cubed shape building, they march around it 7 times believing this is were Abraham offered Ishmael as a sacrifice on the alter,they believe Abraham built it. Than they go to 3 pillars to stone it believing they are stoning satan, and freeing themselves from sin for the year. Than they go to the cave they believe Mohammad received revaluations to form Koran

walking around ka'bah at mecca 2.124-130
mecca is called the mother city 6.92-93
pilgrimage to sacred house-shaving heads 2.196
no meat during pilgrimage 5 1-3
pilgrimage to mecca 3.95-100
circling of mosque made for Abraham on pilgrimage 22.25-30
mecca center of islam
only Muslims can enter mecca
on the pilgrimage Muslims go to a place adam and eve found each other outside eden, and spot of final sermon of Muhammad.

I made a mistake. Muhammed is mentioned 5 times and jesus 25 times in the Koran. Mecca is not mentioned. A place called Bacca is referred to. It's a site that modern historians think is probably near the dead sea. Mecca was nowheresville back then.
