Did they try to? Many features of Islam today can be traced back to Arabian Pagan civilization. Many of the beliefs, rituals and customs of ancient Arab Pagans is similar to modern Muslims. Christianity destroyed much of the evidence (literary and otherwise) of European paganism when it expanded into Europe. Why didn't Islam destroy evidence of Arab Pagans? Islam adopted features of Arab Pagan rituals, yet didn't bother to conceal Arab Pagan civilization. If they wanted to destroy evidence, the Kaaba should have been destroyed, like many pagan temples and shrines were destroyed in Europe when Christianity arrived and grew there.
AlessioIbrahim--

Your logic is like me saying this:
"My diary here says that a flesh eating unicorn arrived last Wednesday into Ireland, ate Eoghan and the unicorn transformed into a centaur... half Eoghan, and half unicorn."

Does that make any sense? You personal religious beliefs dictated by a mythological book that ignores all logic, fact, evidence and reason doesn't make your propaganda true just because you say it is true.
Matrix, yes, Christianity has fused and adopted some aspects of the ancient religions it conquered, but for the most part Christianity made the effort to stick to it's story. Muslims making a pilgrimage to the Kaaba is like Christians making a pilgrimage to Stonehenge.
AlessioIbrahim, why would the pagans tolerate a monotheistic monument on their land? If monotheism arrived in that part of the world before paganism, why wasn't monotheism established earlier? Again, you rely on mythology to prove your point.
 
I think that you provide a question with out prooving your argument. This is a mistake.

The Kaaba was first built as a Monotheistic house of worship to the Lord of Abraham(pbuh) then later Paganized and later again reinstated into Monotheism by prophet Muhammad(pbuh)

In this manner
1.The father of the Prophets built the Kabaa.
2.The last and Final Prophet re-sanctified it and sealed its fate as a house of Monotheism.

Im sorry but youll have to prove your claims before you place them as fact!

Plus it would be rediculous to claim that a temple dedicated to a Nordic god belonged to Jesus, as he lived in Palestine. Thus this never occured, but think about all of the paganism in holidays such as Christmas and Easter.

Your talk about unicorns is not very clear at all. Im sorry but youll have to understand this is the answer that Islamic Theology provides for your question it is very simple.

1.You asked why wasnt kaaba destroyed as it was a pagan place.

2.I provided the answer. kabaa was a monotheistic place fisr latter paganizes ans then restored to its original purpose. All of the pagan deities as my friend pointed out however where destroyed.
You asked i answered.

I think you would concider Islam to be Mythology as a whole. Thus you are asking a Mythological question and I am answering with the established Mythological answer.

it would be like me asking you what wings Icarus used in his flight near the sun YOU answering With wax wings

and then me Telling you thats not satisfactory because its mythological.

According to you it is mythology.
 
have you heard of the Library of Alexandria? many people believe that they destroyed it since after the Arab conquest of Egypt it disappeared. As for the Kaaba, they gave it a new meaning.
 
Catholicism was an aggressive multi national business operation... apples and oranges
 
Ok, again this is an easy question to answer if you had done your research in advance. Anyhow, here is why:
The Qur'an claims that the Kaaba was constructed by Abraham and Ishmael as a temple to the one God, Allah. The over time due to the lack of faith in later generations, the Kaaba was used as a temple to false deities. Hence the reason that Muhammad destroyed the deities inside the Kaaba and leaving the Kaaba itself intact. Islam did not retain many Arabian pagan practices, except maybe the annual pilgrimage to the Kaaba.
Christianity itself did not claim any connection to any sacred sites in Europe when it was advanced there. Primarily because Christianity is a middle eastern religion. However Christianity has adopted many ancient pagan practices and rituals, such as holiday practices related to Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc.
