I'm sorry but i have to share with you guys this video.
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

You say, you are sorry, but you don't have to. It's a beautiful video I enjoyed watching. Just one thing is disturbing me: At the entrance of Mekka, you see a highway sign 'Only for muslims' and 'Only Non-Muslims'. Somehow, this remembers me South-Africa the 'Aparteid', only white and only for black. :ooh:
