Doesn't the Hajre Aswad, the central icon at the Kaba, represent  the female reproductive organ?

Lalon sculpture at Dhaka Airport : Demolition fanfare by the biogots ......   The statues being pulled down: Image credit BanglarChokh    Mannequins in Macca This picture is from a store in a mall located within 100 yrds of  Kabba Sharif. Many stores in this mall displys different kinds of  Mannequins to attract customes to sell products, just as you would see in any modern mall all over the world. [some even shows  "naked" female breasts to display bra & brief sets, similar to the picture:   If you have visited Macca lately, you must have noticed that space around Kabba at Masjid-al-Haram is now sorrounded by world class 5-star hotels and a very large western style shopping malls. Now when you walk out of the Al-haram, all you see is malls and big hotels.  Makkah is supposed to be a place of spirituality, not materialism.  Any kind of spiritual benefit one gets from the Kaba gets easily lost the second he/she step out and walk into these buildings.  All you see is people eating, buying, selling, you totally don't feel like you are in Mecca.  Many people, go to Hajj taking it as if it is some kind of vacation area, people want the best hotel, the best food, drink, comfort etc.  You must be personally knowing Hajis who took advantages of cheaper gold in Makka and Madina.   Masjid al-Haram in May 2007, Mecca [ see the high rise malls and hotelsin the background skyline] Have you ever seen the Jamaatis and bigots like  Mufti Fazlul Hoq Amini or Saikhul Hadis Ajijul Haq ever protesting these "un-Islamic" practices in Macca [Saudi arabia] ?   The Lalon sculpture is very much consistent with the tradition and culture of Bangladesh. If use of  Mannequins can be approved in Macca Malls, why there is so much fuss about the Lalon Sculpture at the Air Port? It is another FACE of POLITICAL ISLAM i.e the use of religion for political purposes !   Read  http://www.shodalap.com/AM_dour.htm    in this connection.     Syed Aslam
