Hundreds of people have died during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia as the faithful faced intense high temperatures at Islamic holy sites in the desert kingdom.
I think it’s silly too, but isn’t this a bit insensitive? People died. It is their own fault for making bad decisions in this situation, but they still died.
It’s also a lot easier to choose not to be Muslim when your entire family and maybe your entire support group isn’t Muslim. Hell, how many of those people who died came from countries where it’s basically required by law to be Muslim?
I doubt it’s required by state law for them to go to Mecca on pilgrimage in any Muslim country. How could they even prove you really did it? At most they could inspect your passport to see if you went to Saudi Arabia.

What I said was “basically required by law to be Muslim”, not required by state law to do the Hajj
Okay, but this is about going on the Hajj and their nation’s laws cant require them to do that.
