I just read on Yahoo.com that approximately 2 million people will descend upon Mecca for the required pilgrimage this year. Does 2 million seem correct? Using an analytical approach, it seems very low. Considering that it is one of the 5 requirements (I believe I am correct) of Islam, and there are over 1 billion muslims in the world, I would expect a lot more. 2 million would equal 20 million per decade.
Just seems low to me.
I assume that you are 'forgiven' if you can’t afford the trip, which can’t be cheap, which would make the number more reasonable.
