Mecca, 25 Nov. (AKI) - The grandmother of US president Barack Obama has arrived in Saudi Arabia for the 'Hajj' or Islamic pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, a Saudi daily said on Wednesday. Sarah Obama, 87, is being accompanied by a nephew and Obama's cousin, Omran.
On Wednesday Sarah Obama was in the valley of Mina with an African delegation, according to the Saudi daily Okaz.
Obama, the mother of the American president's father, lives in a village in Kenya and is one of the many guests of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud.
About two million Muslims converge on Mecca each year for the Hajj pilgrimage but Saudi officials were expecting fewer pilgrims this year due to the threat of the H1N1 virus known as swine flu.
Crowds of pilgrims have been converging on the holy city of Mecca in recent days, and started the Hajj rites on Wednesday.
At the weekend, Saudi health authorities said that four people attending the Hajj had died from the H1N1 virus but sought to play down the risk.
The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an obligation for all able-bodied Muslims to attend at least once during their lives, provided they can afford it.

In other words, it’s all made-up rubbish, “islam” being an ideology, a political system, thinly veiled as “religion.” Let the buyer beware.
LOL!!!
Oh, you mean 2 Million Muslim carriers of the SWINE flu?
Yeah, that would be downright...defiling, blasphemous even. Then of course they would take it back home with them.
I wonder if they would do honor killings for transmitting SWINE flu?
He already sent out a shout-out
Something just poetic about the Swine flu cutting down a half a million Muslim fanatics.
If the CIA has anything on the ball it’s monitoring this event closely. Maybe even sending in agent who are not feeling well.
Didn’t Lord Jeffery Amherst do something similar. Allegedly?
FRiends, feel free to copy the above and use it
it’s on CNN right now! (just kidding)
What a target rich environment.
Well, ‘we all KNOW” they sent AIDS into the ghettos of America.
