let me be honst I'm not personally weighing in on whether we should be allowed to or not, the fact is that it is not legal and when in Rome, we do as the 
Romans do. The reason everybody hates tourists worldwide is because they think the local rules don't apply to them and they should be able to go where 
they want and do what they want because they don't agree. Mecca is certainly not the only cultural landmark with restrictions surrounding it, and many tourists 
from all countries all over the world have been prosecuted for ignoring them and damaging historic sites. I do personally agree the Jewish people should have
 religious claim to Mecca
