Kaaba-Shaped Bar Offends Muslims

The name and exact location aren't given in the original article, so it could be any square, black building in NY. JW surmises it may be the Apple building, which has been source of Muslim protest.

Students in Northern Kashmir today held demonstrations to decry a bar built in the shape of the holy Kaaba in New York.

Hundreds of students of the local Degree College took out a protest march through the streets of Baramulla town, chanting anti-American and pro-Islam slogans.

The students said that building a wine-shop or a bar like the Kaaba amounted to the desecration of the holy sites of Islam. "Muslims all over the world should protest at this," they said.

They demanded that the US should apologise to the Muslim world over the Kaaba replica, and close down the bar immediately.

The procession dispersed after passing through various markets of the town.
