hey um I just read this article about saudi arabia demolishing a a holy site, specifically the birthplace of Muhammad (pbuh) and it's really throwing me for a loop and it doesn't make any sense to me.

apparently it's because their laws interpret ancient holy sites as "idol worship"?

They're demolishing Muhammad's house to put up a 5 star hotel there.

It just feels like a fake news article. I now know it's not.

I don't know it's just pretty shocking is what I'm trying to say because I guess that means it's shocking in the sense that I learned something about Saudi Arabia today that I would have never come to assume on my own.

the madkhalists don't give a shit about tourism (or anything else) and were happy to extrajudicially destroy any building with any hint of veneration. i doubt the early 19th century wahhabist destruction of fatimah's shrine, among dozens of others, had anything to do with "tourism" either. You can't just import your arbitrary cultural framework over another and expect it to make any sort of sense, unless jon stewart starts whimpering about the Koch-Funded Astroturf That Pays For The Anwar al-Awlaki and Bob Jones Madrassa or something.
