Why are the Saudis Demolishing Ancient Islamic Sites to Construct a Mega Mosque?

In what is certain to be one of the most bizarre stories you will read this week, the UK’s Independent details how the religious authorities in Saudi Arabia are making a concerted effort to demolish ancient Islamic Holy Sites. While this may seem inexplicable at first, ultimately it may just come down to a power play by an oppressive religious regime not wanting any competition.

At first those interests were British and later on they were American and Israeli."
