A Spanish discotheque called Mecca that has angered Muslims will change its name, a Muslim representative says.
The disco in Aguilas, near the southern city of Murcia, will also modify controversial features of its architecture, said Mohammed Reda el-Qady on Thursday, secretary of the Union of Islamic Communities in Murcia.
The disco's owners reached an agreement with local Muslims after its name and style sparked a wave of protests on the internet.
A hacker even broke into the website of the establishment, threatening with "a war between Spain and the people of Islam."
