Inside Mecca - The Discovery Channel

[mohammed farah]

This documentary made by National Geographic is interesting, true to life and informative. The plot is based on the stories of 3 people traveling to Mecca to perform hajj. Preparations, troubles and religious insights of the Muslim professor from the States, black journalist from South Africa, and the businessman from Indonesia are disclosed during their journey to Mecca and their actions in Mecca. It was interesting to find some facts about the city, religious rituals. Racial problem. In one episode the black man even in Mecca suffers because of his color in Mecca in the tent of his countrymen, therefore he decides to leave it. Also it was interesting to see satellite photos, religious Western paintings associated with famous religious figures associated with Mecca, also comments by the religious which were used in this movie.

hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for showing this link! I loved everything but watching the slaughter of the animals...I had to cover my eyes during that.

Wow the stoning part looks awefully dangerous but the Irish woman was smart by going early to avoid the crowds!!! I would think that there are many injuries of people getting hit accidently by the stones though. :uuh:

Just a comment on the Irish woman...I have seen another video showing her conversion from Catholicism to Islam and I really liked it, since I too am Irish and was Catholic. I was sad though that many asked her if she was a muslimah though. I mean duh...she's at Hajj.......what's she gonna say, "no, I snuck in here illegally"???? I thought that everyone was the same at Hajj but I guess some things never change unfortunately.:cry:
