Mecca
Palestine
Baghdad

I also want to visit Mecca, but non-Muslims aren't allowed. :(

Which would be only 2 or so countries. :p
Lol it's a lot more than that, sadly. I only wish there were that few left on my list! :D

nor should they

nor should they

Why? I'm really interested in Islam, and I think a visit to Mecca would be the experience of a lifetime. I wouldn't go there to cause trouble, just to look around.

I want to see the rainforest before it is gone forever [By 2020, it is estimated that at least 50% of the species resident in Brazil will be eradicated]...so Brazil, Costa Rica or other parts of South America. I would also love to see The Nile.

In more realistic terms, cities in USA I have never been to...San Fran, NYC, Austin, Las Vegas, Seattle...

National Parks...Acadia, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain, Redwood.

I understand that and I'm glad your interested in Islam, but Mecca is incredibly holy and must be protected and maintained.

Europe. All of it.

Europe. All of it.

even bulgaria?

I'm planning on moving to Thailand in the next few years.

even bulgaria?

Well, maybe not all of it.. :)

That's true.

What about Medina? Is it off-limits?

Everywhere besides countries that are tinpot dictatorships, dirt poor, or in a state of civil war.

I wont include places I've already been, which includes most of Western Europe, except to say that I can never get enough of London, France, Spain or Italy.

I'd very much like to go to Japan and Brazil.

Africa: Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and South Africa. Booga booga land can just pretend its not there.

Asia; India, China, Singapore, Japan, Israel, Syria, Saudi, Bahrain, Dubai and Thailand.

Oceania; Oz, NZ.

Europe; Russia, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, Poland, Ireland.

N.America; Canada, USA.

There are actually some good reasons:

1) all the muslims in the world already want to go there, and there are logistical concerns when you have The World's Muslims in addition to tourists.

2) it is a genuine and deeply important shrine to the Muslim religion, not a tourist attraction in their eyes. Christianity has no counterpart.

The solution:
"Become a muslim," go to mecca on the Hajj, stop being a muslim.

Even Somalia!? :eek:

Absolutely. I want to see every corner of this crazy ol' world of ours.

Hmm...

Scotland
Germany
Russia
Japan
Antarctica

Then I can take a look at that lil' ol' blue globe of ours from a different perspective.

I suppose I'll have to add that I'd love to go to the Sudan and be a tank commander or a helicopter gunner and kill Janjaweed militants.

"Pull our troops out of iraq and send them to FUCK SHIT UP in darfur sudan."

I'd seriously consider joining the military if they offered a two-year fighting stint in the Sudan.

Ditto.

The world, and perhaps the moon and Mars. ;)

I've always wanted to take a ship to Europe then take the Trans-Siberian to Vladivostok. Take a ferry from there to Japan, then the ferry from Japan to China. Then catch a cargo ship to Australia then another back to the US via a south Pacific island or two. Around the world using strictly surface transport is the best way. ;)
