The sad reality is there are many non-muslims who currently live in Madinah. It’s not uncommon to find them working at places outside of the haram boundary (Madinah Airport, Saudi German Hospital, Taibah University, etc.). They are officially not allowed to live within the haram boundary, BUT they do work and travel within the boundary.

Unfortunately the governor of Madinah has even granted official special permission for some non-Muslims to wander very close to Masjid an Nabwi. E.g. Luke Robinson (is it me or does he look like a secret agent?!) http://www.flickr.com/photos/mortalc...n/photostream/

The KEC in Madinah http://www.madinahkec.com/ is a humungous project and they’ve being talking about it for years. Here, the non-Muslims will be allowed to live in Madinah but outside the boundary of the haram.

There is a very large shia population currently residing in Madinah, the babul awaali area is said to be 70% shia - they have 3 Imam Baras in babul awaali. There was a youtube video March 2009, showing the shias jumping on and disrespecting the blessed graves within Jannatul Baqi.
