Found a few:

http://www.jamiat.org.za/isinfo/kaaba.html

Really interesting - somber and quiet.

Islam is actually a pretty neat religion in many ways. It's truely
unfortunate that Muslims are standing by helplessly while the imans
slaughter the credibility and legacy of their faith in order to promote
their islamic political agenda. Another example of how the merging of state
and religion can only lead to one end - the utter annihilation of the
religion.
