There is a difference. There are millions of hindus , Christians , Atheists etc etc in Saudi Arabia and Middle-East etc. This is not the problem. You are not seeing the logic and probably you don't want to see it. Mecca is just few hundred kilometer^2 city , situated in the valley of mountains , where MILLIONS of people come. There are already way,way too many problems there...My aunt lives in Mecca and I stayed in her house for two weeks etc. Even back then (it is 2007) , she was telling me about rising crimes in the city due to rapid rise in population of black Africans in the city (no racism here lol) ..
