Millions of people from all areas of the world made holy pilgrimage to Mecca this year to fulfill the fifth tenet of Islam.

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

All the more reason I am glad not to be a muslim.
They are good at going round and round in circles though, well done!!

Picture 3 - is that an Ambulance or an Ice-Cream van ?

"Yeah, I'll have 25,000 99 cones mate, all with strawberry sauce and 14,897 kids' cones -cheers. Oh and 20 Benson."

amazing pictures, thanks for posting :thumbup: I would be terrified, don't like crowds! :o

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

I heard it was raining in Mecca yesterday.
Plus the nite time chill factor.
(Thats not the same factor as the X factor )

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

How on earth is that ambulance supposed to get through. Hope it wasn't a genuine emergency. If so, maybe the victim's family should sue the Prophet Mohammed.

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

there was a 7 car pile up on the SZR the other day, we were quite a way behind it watching the ambulance struggle to get through .... same day, same shit

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

like Glasto but without the drink, drugs and music

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

I think those photos are phenomenal. It's just amazing to see so many people. I hope each individual gets from that journey what they were hoping for.

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

I'm surprised at some of the comments in this thread. Grow up people.

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

Two harmless jokes, one critical statement, several compliments on the photos, and a few things about ambulances. Grow up? Perhaps you need to do that yourself--what d'you expect: glowing admiration, "ooh I wish I could be part of that", statements about how it all makes sense?

Many of us are equally as critical of "Western" religion as we are of any other: you show me pictures of the cheering throngs clearly idolising the Pope and I'd have a few words (or at least thoughts) to say about that. A grown-up response can take many forms, including poking fun. Equally, a grown-up perspective includes accepting comments--both critical and supportive--and trying to understand others' viewpoints.

(SNIP) I did my time in the barrel in Saudi [3+ years] so I can comment as much as I like.

Re: Hajj 2010 Pictures
 

Absolutely brilliant :rofl:

Waqs isn't saying you can't comment...i think he's just questioning the slightly childish nature of some of the previous posts.
