#1 What's a jihadi to do ? Supposed to blow us up on February 2, but don't want to miss the Haj. Damn.

#2 ....the quotas effectively prevent over 90% of moslems from carrying out one of the 5 top commandments of Islam....mhw

It may be an inconvenience for some, but since they are obliged to complete only one Hajj in a life time, there will be other opportunities to discharge this duty.

#3 gasse katze

here is the arithmatic
1.3 non Saudis are allowed in per year
so in, say, 70 years, that's about 100 million
but the current non Saudi Islamic population is about 1 billion. So even if the population stays at 1 billion, only about 10% of the population will do the haj.

#4 I stand corrected. Must have put the decimal point in the wrong place. You're right of course, a billion is a thousand million. (Begining to sound like G. Gordon Liddy.)
Wonder how the keepers of the faith are going to solve this problem since it is a pillar of Islam.

#5 Well, if there is trouble I got the answer right up here in my pocket. We'll nip it, nip it, nip it. There will be no peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, repeat no peanut butter and jelly for them what piss off allen.
