(Not only are there no cases in the Middle East, except Israel, but none in Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan — well, anywhere Muslim.)

FYI, Muslims come for Hajj fromm ALL over the world, Muslims do not only live in Muslim countries. Thousands of Muslims go for Hajj from the US, the UK, China, Japan, and pretty much EVERYWHERE else. I go to Saudi quite often, and no matter what time of the year I go, there are thousands of people there from every corner of the earth.

It is a valid concern that the Saudi’s have. The people who come from hajj also come from every Socioeconomic level possible. From the poorest to the most uneducated, to the richest and the most educated. Hajj is not limited to a certain class of people, or “Muslim Countries”. It is for everyone that lives on this planet and is Muslim. And when Hajj season comes, you bet people from every corner show up! :)
