The Muslim religious authorities in Egypt have suggested delaying the annual pilgrimage to Mecca because of the spread of swine flu.
Egypt's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ali Jumua, has called for a religious edict to decide how long the pilgrimage rites of the Hajj could be postponed.
At least two million people took part in the last Hajj, which falls this year in November.

Would Allah forgive them if they don’t go this year?
But pilgrims travel to Mecca from around the world, including countries where the swine flu virus has been confirmed.
They had to think about this?....
Can you imagine the uproar if a massive outbreak of Swine flu were to hit the Hajj pilgrimage?
Karma baby, it’s a b*tch sometimes...
Wouldn’t it be a pretty little irony if a couple
hundred thousand hajjis were to pass along to the
next world via swine flu?
Was Obama going?
This virus was originally referred to as “swine flu” because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs in North America...
if pigs are actually responsible for canceling the hajj look for clerics’ heads to explode

This just provides even more proof to the thesis that irony can be really ironic sometimes.

Some muslims believe they will be immune and that swine flu is a “curse on the infidel”.
A better idea would be to let them all into Mecca. Then quarantine the place.
Why are they worried? Insha’allah, go to the hajj!
