@ihl0700677525 saudi government destroyed theses sites for good, for the greater good of muslim pilgrims.
Back then, many historical sites were destroyed even by abbasid caliphs to expand the most for the ever growing muslim population, and as populations boomed after the 20th century, it was more than necessary, the mosques are built for pilgrims, not tourists. Saying that you care about historical sites to not be destroyed, is letting hundreds of millions of pilgrims to suffer, while they could've done it comfortably. And finally, most of these historical sites have no religious significance in the first place.
And about your question on knowing how leaders didn't change the religion, is easy, just look at the old quran manuscripts in Birmingham, Istanbul and yemen, they are very old, spread throughout the world and have the same thing written on them as the current qurans in the world. Nothing different

@najibrizvi first, their building hotels with their oil money, it's their full rights
Second, i told you that mecca can accommodate tens of times more than karbala.
Third, mecca is mountainous, old, dense and hard to build on, it just makes common sense to build after demolishing old buildings
Forth, most of these buildings are not significant in islam, is a market or a house sacred to you?
Fifth, they did it after taking permission from the property owners because it's haram to build a mosque on a stolen property

@okman9684 they get 30b in revenue, not profit. They pay for construction, security, linguistics, services, teachings, providing free food and water, hygiene, electricity, expansion, technological developments in the mosque, trains, roads, beautification, and so on.
Btw, I'm not saudi, I'm trying to be unbiased
