The phrasing, with the "you," just seemed a little strange.
I can appreciate that the Hajj is a major event for Muslims. I do question the wisdom of holding it during summer months, even if it's traditionally held on certain dates on the Islamic calendar. The sheer numbers of people converging on one place all at once is worrisome, too. For the safety of the pilgrims, holding it several times a year for smaller groups would be a good idea, even if it went against tradition.
