Mecca and Medina.
The holiest shrine in Islam, the Kaaba, is located in Mecca, surrounded by the Sacred Mosque (<span>Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām). Mecca was the birthplace of Mohammad and the Sacred Mosque and shrine there are the direction toward which Muslims turn when doing their daily prayers. It is also the place to which they make pilgrimage as one of the five pillars of the faith.
Medina is where Mohammad built a following for the Islamic faith after learning there was a plot in Mecca to assassinate him. He later went back to Mecca with an army of 1500 converts to Islam and took control of his home city without bloodshed. A holy mosque is located in Medina also, called The Prophet's Mosque (</span><span>al-Masjid an-Nabawi). It is where Mohammad is buried.</span><span>

Kim's identity is particularly complicated. He is European by birth, but he has been immersed the culture of India his whole life. Kim displays the traits of both the British and the Indians, but he considers the British superior to the natives, as seen in this interaction with an Indian friend:
"There was some justification for Kim - he had kicked Lala Dinanath's boy off the trunnions - since the English held the Punjab and Kim was English."
However, Kim is not comfortable with the idea of interacting with Europeans, partly because of the kind of life he leads:
As he reached the years of indiscretion, he learned to avoid missionaries and white men of serious aspect who asked who he was, and what he did. For Kim did nothing with an immense success . . . . [and] missionaries and secretaries of charitable societies could not see the beauty of [what he did].
Kim avoids British men and women who live in India. Since he has grown up with the natives, he shares their mistrust of the Europeans.
