        So I don't know a lot about Islam to begin with but isn't it kinda fucked that a private government has control over this holy pilgrimage, especially one totally propped up by burgerland

        Like it's really not my place whatsoever but on paper that seems incredibly fucked

          On one hand, they are widely hated throughout the muslim world for being american lapdogs. On the other, there is a five guys in mecca right across from the Kabaah, so who is to say whether they are bad or not.

          Nah they've managed the whole pilgrimage really well. Nobody has complaints with regards to that atleast, influence of burgerland notwithstanding.

        Dunno, but cessation of hostilities during Ramadan has been a thing since Prophet Muhammad.
