They Spend Half Their Lives Groveling to Fucking Allah

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Before the Saudis developed their oil economy the haji was their primary source of foreign income. It's still a very big business. So there's the conflict between the business and the religious doctrine. They are very strict on enforcing the religious doctrine as long as it doesn't cost them money. However, very devout muslims should be hopeful that they will die on the pilgrimage. It's like Christians getting killed for their faith. It's a sure fire way to get to paradise or to heaven. But now maybe just one out of a million believe that, which is why the pope rides in a bullet proof vehicle.
