    All Muslims who are physically and financially able to complete the hajj are supposed to do so at least once in their lives. But this is impossible.https://nyti.ms/2wlAHi3

        Not sure how you can draw such conclusions when there is no way to account for those who are unable to perform hajj for various reasons. Nor does it seem your hypothesis accounted for death rates among Muslims, only the birth rate.

        Isn't it ironic that you're calling the NY Times daft while it seems that based on your Tweet, yur the 1 who's daft, punk! Going to church every Sun is like going to Juma on Fri. Eating fish on Fri is like eating Halaal. Hajj is on a completely different level. Know your facts!

        The point is, mr ambassador, many religious people make their own minds up as to how they participate. Some are abstemious about it. Some less so. All believe they live their lives well. Don’t judge others.

        Let me consolidate your 3 tweets. At a time, I was required to go to church and at another point, required to go to Masjid. So, I know of what I speak. I'm not judging at all. I was just clarifying your bad comparisons. You do know one's name changes once they make Hajj, right?

        My point stands in light of the NYT article... not all religious feel the need to follow every requirement of their faith. That’s my experience. Catholics are required to attend mass at Easter.. it’s critical. Not all do. The article extrapolated an absurd conclusion. That’s all

        Look, I'm not going to go back and forth with you. Bottom line, you sound like a non-Muslim talking about Islamic life. On this, I think you should let the Muslims talk to the New York Times.

        Do you practice? No need for a response because it is boring going backwards and forewards. However, I think some liked the Tweet. All religions are the same in my experience... simply different ways to worship. The article from the NYT ridiculed this... yet today? not a problem

        I do believe you failed to include one phase in your description of the Islamic Tenet, known as "Hajj" pilgrimage. 'In a muslims life time, if he or she is able' Not the dogmatic interpretation your presenting in your story.

        You wouldnt because you probaby havent read the quran and haddiths. Allah in the quran makes claims that cannot be siubstantiated by Biblical doctrine. Allah says bow to the kaaba. The BiblIcal God says dont bow to stones.

        Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended. Whoever wanted to do hajj with an intention for Allah and His messenger, and for some reason he couldn’t make it. Then for sure Allah will grant him Reward. ISLAM IS THIS TYPE OF RELIGION.

        1) Going for Hajj is one of the 5 Pillars of Islam. 2) Only those physically and financially sound should go for Hajj. Point 2 contradicts Point 1.

        Why do you guys celebrate Bakre EID on behalf of Jewish Prophet Abraham ( Ibrahim) but want to murder all Jews , when the Abraham story is copied from the Jewish Torah ( The Old Testament) ?

        Almighty has sent only one Religion to the earth with different Prophets. And Muslims have believe on all the Prophets who are mention in Quran. Prophet Ibrahim’s story wasn’t copied, it was repeated by Almighty in Quran to show Jews that both Torah and Quran was sent by the God

        Why do you people wear two white unstiched clothes at Kaaba like Hindu Brahmins and encircle Kaaba 7 times like Hindus. Why don't you people follow same rituals in any other mosque on this planet. Why follow Hindu rituals at Kaaba ?

        Bro Before Islam there was not anything like 2 clothes and encircle in Hinduism that means Hindu adopted these from Muslims. And for the Unity we follow rituals in Kabba. Otherwise Almighty Allah/ God is present every where.
