A British Muslim group has urged the government to put pressure on its Saudi allies to protect Shia pilgrims during the Hajj. The Islamic Human Rights Commission says those Muslims who do not follow the Saudi state’s version of Islam are often harrassed in Mecca. Roshan Muhammed Salih in London has more on this story.

1 Makkah, 2 Makkah Meena, 3 Madinah
4 Madinah and Quba
The documentary is unique as the major participants are children. With Allah’s blessing Dr. Zafar Nomani was able to take his three grand children on Hajj.
The objective of the Pilgrimage was Hajj and not movie making. Only Some shots were taken from the hotel and the bus. It is not perfect. However, this documentary may serve as a good educational resource material for children of Islamic and other faiths, and contribute to better interfaith understanding.

Palestinian pilgrims, including some Hamas figures, are stranded at camps in Egypt, demanding to be allowed to return home though a crossing not controlled by Israel.

Two elderly women have died while waiting to be allowed to go.

The pilgrims are returning from performing Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

The pilgrims fear they’ll be arrested if they pass through the Aouja crossing, which Israel controls.

And the Egyptian government won’t let them through the Rafah crossing, unless an EU official is present.

Al Jazeera is the only international network which has gained access to the area.
