The Cube Reveals Itself

2006_04_cube1.jpg

Reader Anders sent us photographs of workers busily getting the Apple Store cube at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street ready. We expect it will be ready for people to supplicate by the weekend.

    buildin a store like a cube doesnt denote or connote tht its ka'baa

    giving the name mecca to a store even doesnt mean its mecca.

    oks!

    cox the cube shape doesnt belong to mecca

    do pentagon shape belongs to pentagon?

    mecca means " a place that attracts a lot of visitors"

    and wot im going to tell u is that tht apple mecca doesnt resemble ka'bah

    n thts not a nice way to advertise yr store spreadin such rumours.

    do find sumother way..

    u americans or anyother anti-muslim nations can du nothing to our holy house. it will be under the protection of "the one and only god".

    u can du nuthin eva n neva.

  • Common Sense

    Being a muslim, I am saddened that there is so much outrage over a black square building.

    Don't we have much more pressing things to worry about?

    There is muslim on muslim violence, poverty and illiteracy rampant in our societies. Yet we choose to focus on something as inconsquential as this?

    Do you really think they tried to copy the Kaaba on purpose? If you do, you are brainwashed!Stop listening to the mullahs and start thinking for yourself.

    Wake up people.

    These Apple people have gone mad/crazy and need to use common sense which unfortunately seems to be rare in the architects/master minds behind this innovation. What does one get by hurting other feelings?. This to me is totally insanse and in appropiate and US goverment should immediatly take a strict notice of this non-sense and punish the culprits who seem to be enjoying playing with emotions of all the muslims all over the world.

    No one has any right to make mockery of other's religion. Creating Cartoons, Coca Cola and now This Apple nonsense is only leading one to the extreme fires of Jahanum.

    Wake up insane people and start using brains, Islam is the way, thats the right path. Adapt it and leave insanity, Allah loves to forgive for stupidness of his man kind, only if you ask him to :)

    Lets live in peace and not smash each other emotions and make mockery of each other religion.

    well if its a computer store, and it resembles the Makkah thats ok. Its just an artist taking inspiration. In today's polarized world I see even on this page some folks making insults to Islam and then some Muslims who fire threats back. Sheesh!

  • A Muslim

    You will pay for it inshallah. Because you people are declaring war not only against muslims but against God himslef. Allah punishes those who forbid him and this is the case now a days with you people.

  • A Muslim

    You will pay for building this.

    A Muslim
