Something worth a mention missing from this Guardian report?

The Guardian, that bastion of liberal free-speech and doughty defender of human rights, reports that:
'Explosives detectors to be installed at gates of Mecca's Holy Mosque'
and gives all sort of big numbers relating to Mecca and the Hajj. Somehow they neglect to mention that only Muslims are allowed into Mecca and any infidels caught there are liable to be killed. Only a small detail but one that I thought was worth a mention.

The Guardian could have then contrasted the attitude of the Islamic government of Saudi Arabia to non-Muslims entering their holiest site with that of Israel who don't allow Jews to worship on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Judaism's holiest site, in case it upsets the Muslims who built a mosque on top of the last Jerusalem Temple.

I suppose reporting such facts would ruin the Guardian/BBC/Muslim narrative of educated, civilised Muslims facing an evil Jewish state.
