    ^ I haven’t heard enough leftist opinions on Mecca being closed off specifically although their are many on Saudi Arabia, would be a great video essay topic

      Because to talk about Mekka you should know about islamic jurisprudence, for which you need to be able to read academic arguments in arabic, and if you can do that you probably have other videos about islam to make that are more important. Why should there be a leftist analysis on islamic rules for who can go enter a holy area? Do you know what a haram is at least?

        I just thought it would be interesting, not asking anyone to take on undue labor or anything like that, and cursorily yes, but clearly not enough

        And I meant leftist more in the way that I’m already somewhat on the same page as the person and trust their judgment, I’m sure there are extremely reactionary Islamic law scholars as well as more progressive ones like most religions, although I could be wrong.

        Did not mean to be disrespectful, just wanted to know more about it, sorry if it came across that way. I did some more research, and, think I understand the it a bit better
