Bally’s temporary casino opened on September 9 in the historic building named Medinah Temple
Social media in Mulsim countries including Pakistan and Turkiye is abuzz with claims that Chicago has opened a casino in buidling that resembles a mosque so much so that a wooden inscription of the kalama tayyaba is seen on its entrance.
Worse still, the building has been named Medinah Temple.
People have expressed outrage at the development branding it as an attempt to provoke Muslims.
While most of the statements about the casino are true, the history of the building does not support the insinuation that its opening was a premediate effort to offend Muslims.
