Among Muslims it is an open secret that the pilgrimage at Mecca is not safe for everyone, especially not for women who face a constant threat of sexual assault during the pilgrimage. People widely know about this but they close their eyes to it because they don't want to tarnish Islam and its "holy land." Nuriya Khan, who lived in Saudi Arabia and who participated in the Umrah (minor pilgrimage) many times, speaks out.

Imagine that if you go to Hajj with your wife, you have to get into a taxi first before your wife goes in and you have to let your wife come out first before you come out because the driver might drive off and rape your woman!!

My mum was one time a devote Muslim. She immediately left Islam on return from hajj. She was shocked and disappointed because of the sexual advances she saw and witnessed.
When a man (who's head is filled with Islam) stays away from his four wives for even a day,, he wouldn't mind to feast on anything in skirt.
Very sad,
AP, MY MUM IS HAPPIER STAYING AWAY FROM ISLAM

My sister in law when she goes there, she's said two girls was raped in the toilet by the janitor. She said every day she's heard someone was raped or touched unappropriatly. Then she's said don't tell people, if people find out about the abuse, they didn't want to go there anymore." And she said she wants to go there again when she's get married. I was like what?

While living in Saudi, my US-Afghani neighbour went for hajj…. When she came back in 2010, she stopped wearing her niqab, she was done with her entire head cover. Her husband (Lebanese/Palestinian) couldn’t “believe he’s married to a woman who no longer covers” She was so disappointed in her hajj experience!

I was shocked to hear religious Muslim men (with taqiyah cap, etc) who have completed the hajj, talked in a condescending tone about black / African Muslim women with big breasts when performing the hajj. While they despise them for the colour of these women's skin but yet they objectify their breasts as something to be toyed with. I was very confused with the blatant hypocrisy

Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

A very devout Muslim lady (who tried, very gently but in vain, to convert me) had done the Hajj 5 times. Every time – she told me – she had been 'fondled' while circling the Kaaba. She blamed a particular (non-Arab) ethnic group (she was very proudly Arab herself), saying "they were the worst, but by no means the only ones". However, she just shrugged it off as being an annoyance. It's because we're not wearing underwear under our robes at that point, she said, so of course that excites them, and they get 'wandering palms'…

Born and raised in India, this happened to me a lot, pinching and physical touching in the crowds Now I'm living in Australia and I'm so proud to say Women are respected here, not one man ever took advantage in the crowds or walking alone. With all that dressing modestly, yet this sexual assaults happens. I feel so sorry for those women

Shocked at first ...but on reflection...it's hardly surprising and expected..considering the track record of Islam and Hamas.

I can echo every sentiment and story told, I have my own set of stories and experiences from being born and growing up in Saudi Arabia. Sadly for us, we were not in international schools. we experienced the full disgusting experience of foreigners living in Saudi. In my experience, it is the pit of hell itself.

Years ago, a family friend of mine who is a lady and she went on the Hajj alone and she never came back. It was believed that she would have been raped, and killed and buried in some unmarked grave. After hearing about that incident, I just cant help it to believe that Mecca being the holiest place in Islam is also the most unsafe place on Earth for anyone...

A friend of mine was just there with her in laws, husband and her son and she is pregnant again at the moment. Thankfully she was ok but her sister in law had her bottom grabbed a couple of times. They were obviously dressed with hijab etc. the men commenting here trying to victim shame should be ashamed. My friend is a very proud Muslim and found being there a man incredible experience but how this can keep happening there is astounding. She also said the way the men were running around was very aggressive and one even

When they grope your wife and mother, assuming they have money to go there, you will buy it then

Lol.

Holy land indeed.

triple996:
All this cheap propaganda and desperate attempt to spoil the name of Islam is going nowhere. Your pastors are known for raping children and having affairs with their church members. In fact it's a known fact that most of your reverend fathers are homosexuals that rape little boys. Why cant you talk about that ??

No mind them!

Don't usually comment on religious threads but the nigga is talking about the supposedly holiest site in Mecca or should we say Islam but you are here mentioning mere human beings that decided to call themselves whatever they call themselves. To me those pastors are fools, idiots and blasphemy agents. But can we say the same about Kabaah or what do they call that place

Okay I get it. These local criminal havens (named churches by these criminals you mentioned who by the way are only staining the body of Christ) is equivalent to the kabah. Cool
