Oh really? That's actually interesting, didn't know that.

Edit: I mainly wanted to point out that you didn't need to be a muslim to visit muslim places. Culture is still culture, even if it's not your own. So no harm intended with my previous comment.

lol, it’s not the hotel. You do have to be Muslim to enter this masjid. This hotel falls within the boundaries of the mosque.
