I was very surprised to see that there were many areas that were quite run down and saw Saudis living in real poverty. This isn’t because the country doesn’t have enough wealth or because of poor management, it is simply because the government doesn’t care about its people. The Saudi government controls the largest oil reserves in the world and chooses to invest their wealth in America rather than its own people. Whether the Hajj disaster comes down to poor organisation or an accident you can be sure that the royal family don’t care one bit.

Then I was thinking, and I said to myself Hajj is a fard and must be carried out at least once in a lifetime. Now, the Saudi authorities only allow 2 million pilgrims per year. Assuming that each pilgrim only does it once in a lifetime, then over a period of 100 years, you will only have 200 million Muslims who have carried the hajj whereas the current Muslim population amounts to 1.4 billion. This 2 million quote is absolutely ridiculous; something needs to be done about it. I recently read that Tajikistan have only allowed 187 people to go hajj this year. Man, when will the other Takijks get a chance to do it?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('290','Jacare'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('290','Jacare','Also, there is that Hindu festival in the Ganges that accommodates about 20 million people.
