"The hajj, a pilgrimage Muslims take to the holy city of Mecca," the promo said. "Members of Charlotte's elite make a similar pilgrimage to the corporate altar of brand-name merchandise -- SouthPark mall, where believers gather to be among their kind," said a voice-over on the spot, which then showed the mall and the word "Mecca."

IMHO, if Fox owed anyone an apology, it should have gone to the Mall, for comparing it to a place where an extreme form of gender and religious apartheid is practiced in the name of a cult like ideology, and where ones gender or religion alone may get one murdered.

Amen. A better comparison for the Hajj to Mecca would be the Nazi pilgrammage to Nuremberg for those massive Hitler rallies. A mall is a fun place where people congregate to shop and help the economy.
