This is not what the Wahhabis in the Saudi Arabian government want to hear..:
LEADER OF IRANIAN HAJJ PILGRIMS COMES HOME.
Hojatoleslam Mohammad Mohammadi-Reyshahri, the supreme leader's representative to the hajj pilgrimage, returned to Iran from Saudi Arabia on 30 January, "Iran" reported. Hojatoleslam Gholam-Hussein Mohammadi-Golpayegani, head of the supreme leader's office, and Commerce Minister Mohammad Shariatmadari greeted him at the airport. Reyshahri told reporters that approximately 100,000 Iranians participated in this year's pilgrimage, of whom 3,000 were based in other countries. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei met on 3 February with Reyshahri and other officials, IRNA reported. Reyshahri said the Muslim community's knowledge about and interest in Iran's Islamic Revolution was increasingly evident at the pilgrimage. (Bill Samii)
