Someone took offence because you confused two cultures ill-founded. Back on topic now, please. If you want to continue this discussion, take it to U2U.
I got the countries mixed up but it's still a great joke. I had to crow bar it in somehow, it wouldn't work with the Saudi word "fatir". You caught me out on saying he mentioned Indian (when he actually mentioned Saudi), but the joke is still a good one, not offensive and it's a shame to see people pander to claimed offence at good humour. If I had known Mecca was Saudi and not India (always assumed it was Indian, but that's my ignorance coming in) I would have still crow barred in the joke for good pun. No one was insulted.
Mecca isn't in India, Mecca is in Sadie Arabia, the holy place of Islam where people go for pilgrimage.

To go to heaven I think everyone should go to Mecca as the gates of heaven is directly above it, and this is where God lives in heaven, and muslim call Kabaa the house of God.
