The Hajj: The Most Shameful Journey in History

Tomorrow in Malaysia is a legal holiday--Hari Raya Korban, also known as Eid al-Adha. This is the holiday that coincides with that annual mass Muslim madness referred to as the 'Hajj', or the mandatory pilgrimage to Mecca that all Muslims are mandated to make at least once in their lifetimes. And make it they do, by the millions, often using most if not all of their life savings to do so.

Fellow Malaysian blogger Surind posted a video on the Hajj at his blog yesterday, entitled 'The Hajj: The Most Shameful Journey in History.' It caused so much grief and outrage amongst the Muslims that he pulled it from his site today. Well, to show my support for him, to support freedom of speech, and to help spread a point of view that Muslims (and their dhimmi allies) so desperately do not want you to see or hear, I am posting this video here. Transcript of the video is in italics and immediately following the embedded video frame.




The 5th Pillar of Islam wastes more money and effort and time and lives than any other single journey in human history.

Muslims from all around the world - many of them excessively poor - devote a significant proportion of their income to complying with the demand of the Qur'an that they should visit the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia at least once in their miserable lives.

I find this a disgusting and lamentable superstition. Not only this, but some of the poorest families in the some of the poorest Muslim countries in the world save all their lives to send their children to wander around a tomb to a long dead deluded bloke called Mohammad - a self-appointed prophet who raised himself above the status of all other humans and still from the ashes reaches out and financially ruins people's lives to this very day by having insisted that all his deluded followers should pop in to his birth town.

You couldn't write more insane fiction than this if you tried. If you saw this on the pages of George Orwell, you would think it would never happen. But it does. And I am sickened by it.

Allah does not exist. Mohammad was just a normal man - now dead for over 1300 years. There is no spiritual realm. Every single Muslim who makes this journey is diverting money and energy away from making this world a better place - building better nations, developing education, science, technology, politics, medicine and so forth. Each Muslim who makes this lamentable journey is guilty of squandering money in as wasteful a way as those people that they criticise for spending on alcohol that they piss down the drain. In some ways, even worse. At least some boozed-up bloke who struggles off to work the next morning with a hangover knows that he has overdone it. Muslims NEVER think they have overdone it and will simply pass on this world-wide destruction of potential to their poor children.

The greatest aim of all Muslims is to take part in the Hajj? No wonder Islam makes its victims less successful in the real world of the 21st Century: their aspirations are so pathetically low.

Every devout Muslim must pay homage to the meteorite (shaped like a lady's thingy - but we won't go there!) once in his/her life.

Three million Muslims make the trip each year http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7769689.stm

Life expectancy for Muslims is 70 years (optimistic estimate) .

So there are only 70x3 = 210 million devout Muslims in the world out of 1 billion nominal Muslims.

Time for the evangelical Christian missionaries to get to work on the other 790 million?

What is extraordinary is how the British TV stations have been giving coverage to this farce on virtually every news broadcast for the last two days.

WTF are they doing that for? Even a "60 second" news update had to feature the haj, complete with VT material.

Will they give the same coverage to Christian Religious festivals? Not on your nelly!

I am not sure why you posted this, anti-jihadist. I mean, the video itself was good, but perusing this guy's site, seeing all the commie symbols, I came away thinking that I should send it over to the People's Cube for a good mocking. Communism, socialism, whateverthehellism you want to call it, is as bad as Islam and its tenets.

The Anti-Jihadist said...

I do not endorse Surind's pro-socialist and communist viewpoints and I've made that fairly clear on my own site on a number of occasions.

However, that doesn't mean that we cannot agree with him and support him in criticizing the Haj or other aspects of Islam. I think it's more important now to draw in as many opponents of Jihad and Islam as possible together, from as many different backgrounds as possible. In other words, I'm a supporter of the 'big tent' counterjihad coalition paradigm.

So, please support Surind as he faces harassment and intimidation from the same Muslims that we all oppose and fight against on a daily basis.

P.S. And go right ahead and mock Surind's laughable and absurd socialist claptrap that festoons his site. I certainly don't mind that one bit. We can do that and support him on the issue of freedom of expression (vis a vis the Mohammedans) at the same time.

Imagine the outrage of secular leftist if the media started treating Christianity the way it tends to treat Islam.

Mother Effingby said...

Thanks, a-j. I don't mean to paint with so broad a paintbrush. I understand why so many former muslims become atheists, instead, because of how insane Allah and his edicts and prophet are, but to not understand the history and bankrupcy of Communism is foolish. Communism delenda est.

It seems to me there is a hierarchy of pestilences in this world.

Nazism and Communism, as bad as they were/are, did not destroy Western Civilization. Innovation, art, and culture continue on.

But, everything Islam touches, it destroys. Destroys absolutely.

Notice that the 4th. beast in the book of Daniel crushes and destroys everything before it, and is only itself destroyed by a rock from heaven.

cjk,

For lack of a better term that Fourth beast has got to be gnarly.

Firstly, big mo is not buried in Mecca
but Medina. Meccas only industry is the Haj, in todays Saudi paper there was an article about a guy renting out tentspace on a hilltop for about $30 per person per night. Another one about a car owner driving pilgrims from Jeddah for hundreds of dollars on unpatrolled side roads because they cannot afford the $800 haj permit. The Sharrif of Mecca who ruled before the Saud's had the monopoly on selling dried lizards (wash it down with camel piss) and camel caravan that brought the pilgrims from the port. He personally destroyed the first car to arrive in Mecca as he feared it would cut into his profits. Even in days of big mo it was a place of pilgrimage, his clan were the major players in the business and he saw no reason to hurt their business. No different to Rome in the middle ages.

hi.. i hope u can remove those article that make muslim people angry.tq

The Anti-Jihadist said...

This article has brought in threats and loathing from Muslims aplenty over at my site. Quite the spectacle, and of course many are friends of the Malay blogger whose comment is previous to this one.

Pastorius said...

Yes, we've been getting quite a bit of traffic from a few different Malay blogs on this one as well, AJ.

Assalamualaikum,

LEKIR,

What are you saying?

This was my test word to post here. I defined it. I figure with all the insanity in the commentary about Melch, my own would be appropriate.

Nice fucking Parental advisory by the way. I might steal it from you.

I'll have to visit you again, if I can. This blog rocks.

I just hope good sense prevails. Nevertheless spitting on the sky leads us nowhere anyway.
But you must have your say and then understand the Islamic virtue of tolerance.

Damien said...

Umra,

Islam doesn't have much of a history of tolerance unfortunately.
