Quote:
As for the direction to pray: Most people in Arabia prayed towards Mecca in the first place, due to the predominance of pagan worship there. Once Mohummad created Islam, he continued this practice.
Later he tried to get the powerful and influential Jewish tribes to join him, and thought that by making Muslims face Jerusalem would help in this. It failed. So he return the direction back to Mecca. He kill the tribes as well, but that's beside the point.

sadly some people still think its political.Did he try to make an alliance with the Jewish tribes and did they attack him?
