No, Buck is just poking fun at himself. When he says silly things he secretly fears he's being a bigot. He knows better, he just can't help it.

I don't think I'd expect a Temple in Mecca considering that Islam is the state law. Comparing this to America where we (ARE SUPPOSED TO) value the ability for people to worship freely makes sense on some levels - i.e. to study the different cultures and people - but not on others - i.e to justify actions that may run contrary to our values.

As for McDonalds in Mecca, I've read that there are McDonalds all over Saudi Arabia, including around Mecca.
