Fatimah, I agree with you that rat is much less dangerous than shirk :). But I disagree with you that it is up to the rulers to judge and to decide to demolish the historic sites. Those sites not only belong to Saudis, but also to all muslims. One more thing, in my opinion, in his last period, our Prophet was much worried about "wahn" than "shirk", which is very true and should also be our focus, if we look at ummah condition right now.
