The Hajj

                      
The hardest of the five pillers in the Muslim religion in my opininion was the
journey to the Kaa'ba. It is a sybolic and holy thing that Muslims are expected
to do at least once in their lives. In class earlier this week we watched a
video about the Hajj (the journey to the Kaa'ba in Mecca). We were taking notes
on the difficulties on the Hajj. Many people didn't like the muslims from
America who had fair skin. It is very hot in the desert and there are so many
people coming with you that it gets really crowded. There is one part of the
Hajj when people throw forty-nine rocks to one of the first pillars said to be
made by Adam and Eve. his is very bad because the surging crowd will sometimes
kill and crush people in the way.
