circumstances." Nobody would argue that the work - of whoever authored the poorly written and irrelevant paragraph he referenced - should have been repaired or removed. But Zero0000 instead undid my entire undo, thereby once again censoring THE LOCATION of the pilgrimage from the Psalms 84 verses as being IN ZION, along with undoing considerable other article modification and clarification including separation of
Islamic "tradition" from the factual information and history. This was a repeat of Zero0000's 4 March 2012 major alteration and broad brush vandalism vagely excused away with: "Back out mish-mash of original research, copyright violations and poor sources." While Tiamut is an unapologetic "Palestinian", a review of articles Zero0000 has participated in that are listed on his description page, belie his effort in self-introduction that suggest he does not have a dog in this hunt. This article is however, a testament as to what has happened to Knowledge, as well as portending where it is headed.

purposes of
Islamic propaganda. Far from being unrelated to the temple of Solomon, THE SUBJECT of the passage from Psalms 84 that is referenced in this article, as regards the valley of BACA, IS ABOUT a pilgrimage of those from around the Holy Land to Solomon's Temple IN ZION, not some kaaba located 1200 kilometers across harsh barren desert away from ZION in the SW Arabian desert, for which there is no historical or archaeological record from before the 5th century AD. If folks are going to pretend that this passage from Psalms 84 has anything to do with Mecca - that didn't even exist until well over a millennium later - then the unedited scripture that is abused for purposes of producing the fantasy needs to remain, to bear testimony against that preposterous suggestion.

it. Memorizing Kuran must be completly, and who have all the Kuran is called "Hafiz". The memorizing must be even with the lengh of the stops to take a breath-break while reading. So a wrong reading of a text from a a written book is imposible. Books are for an easier way to fallow reading Kuran to refresh what a muslim memorize. So the argue with "bi-bakkatah" as "tayyakahu"(whats tayyakahu?) or any other misreading is a real nonesense and nothing else than a wrong info. Christoph
Luxenberg's reading is really a joke, and he is trying to mislead the reader with non-true infos and non-existing things. Bakka is not a new name of Makka islam brought. It is mentioned in arabian pre-islamic peotries as Bakka.

All of the information I removed either relies solely only a primary source (the Bible or the Qur'an), or cites a secondary source, like Dr. Rafat Amari, who is not even discussing Bakkah or Baca, but instead is discussing Mecca and its history. He is cited to make a synthesized argument that Mecca cannot be Baca because it did not exist before the 4th century (i.e. he does not make this conclusion as he is not discussing this subject).

My recommendation is to remove all references to Psalms 84 from this article altogether, as it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Mecca, or it's kaaba, or the term Bakkah as understood by the followers of Islamic "tradition". It is a 1200 kilometer distance made, geographical absurdity.

I am undoing Tiamut's edit because it cast the article back into confusion. It is important to separate "tradition" that was penned in the 7th - 9th centuries AD - that purports to report about thousands of years of prior history - from factual information and historical record.
1719:
Additionally, Islamic "tradition" belongs in it's own category, because it is created fiction, that poses as thousands of years of historical record, yet was all penned in the 7th to 10th centuries AD without reference to any actual historical record from before the 5th century
