Try to Read and understand History, Geo strategy and Religious extremism. I am sure rejection is very first reaction of simple minds. For fundamentalist groups, sharia has only been a means to attain political goals. The primary goal is to thus employ sharia in order to achieve the state of their dreams. The Muslim Brotherhood became active during the Hajj season and took it as an opportunity to convince Muslims of its project. Hassan al-Banna performed pilgrimage several times, went to Medina and met young people whom he managed to recruit for his project. https://english.alarabiya.net/views/news/middle-east/2018/09/03/Hajj-and-radical-groups 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is utter bs to claim this is the case or that anyone performing this religious duty will be radicalised to the point of fundamentalism. Anyone doing so is clueless about the faith and promoting islamaphobic prejudice rooted in bigotry.

Would a normal person refrain from clipping their nails, or from wearing deodorant in a desert? Is kissing a stone normal? Is throwing pebbles at a stone column rational?

It is many things but what it is not, is a sign of fundamentalism. If anything it is a mainstream aspect of the faith that Muslims are expected to do if they can afford it. Personally I’m an atheist and find the idea of a big beard in the sky preposterous. However if others feel different and believe that’s fine by me. Likewise, if going on Hajj or any type of pilgrimage as in other faiths helps someone feel good and reaffirms their belief, then have at it. To call acting in such a way will lead to radicalisation to the point of fundamentalism is misleading and promotes theories rooted in hate and bigotry.

Or consuming a dry biscuit claiming it is someone's body part, or wine that is their blood. Or getting in a box and telling a complete stranger all your secrets. All religions have some crazy aspects, as do simple superstitions.... Islam is not top of the list on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
