 YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> Mecca
The city is revered as the holiest site of Islam, and a pilgrimage to it is required of all able-bodied Muslims who can afford to go, at least once in their lifetime.
Non-Muslim historians do not accept these scriptural assertions, but do believe that Mecca was a shrine and trading center for a number of generations before the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
The word is a transliteration of the original Arabic, and has become part of the English language as a metaphor for a centre or ideal place.

 Arutz Sheva - Israel National News

Jews were forbidden to enter the city, but for a single day of the year, The Ninth of Av (see Hebrew calendar), when they could weep for the destruction of their city at the Temple's only remaining wall.
Jerusalem (Hebrew: ירושלים Yerushalayim, Arabic: القدس al-Quds) is an ancient Middle Eastern city (31°47'N, 35°13'E) of key importance to the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
However, the city was overcome by the Babylonians in 598 BC, who then took the young king Jehoiachin into eternal captivity, together with most of the aristocracy of that time.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but there is nothing holy about them for me, a Christian, with their populations that are not particularly holy either and that we must occasionally be wary of.
Thus I was saying that there are other major religions which have cities on Earth that are holy for their faithful, but to which our media, well-educated politicians, travel professionals, etc. never apply that laudatory title, (ex Bodh-Gaya for buddhists, or Varanasi for Hindus in INDIA).

He asked for and--during the second week of his visit--was granted an interview with Brigham Young, "President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints all over the World."

His visit to America, although brief, was to fulfill his desire to see Mormonism at first hand.
