The term Mecca has become synonymous with any large gathering for a specific purpose, common cause, or interest, such as "Oshkosh has become the Mecca of aviation enthusiasts." While some conservative Christians refrain from such terminology so as to not legitimize the ancient Islamic tradition, others take as dim a view of all forms of [[politically correct]] speech and thus make no efforts to rewrite the language to make a political or religious point.
