There's a very interesting aspect of the pilgrimage to Mecca in the Muslim culture. The idea of everyone should at least taken the pilgrimage once in their life time, is very interesting. In a way it gives everyone this hope or something to look forward to is something I believe to have true value.
Nowadays some people seem to have not have any goals or anything to be excited for in their lives. With the pilgrimage, their able to have that special belief for themselves in the future. They now have this opportunity to achieve happiness from this unforgettable experience.
As it was mentioned in the chapter's intro, Islam has been developing in the United States. Even though it had been stopped temporarily after the 9/11 incident. The religion before had began to spare some light on several U.S. citizens.
This something we should emphasize in today's societies. We need diversity to share ideas and information. That way we could benefit from each other's beliefs.
