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.

Wait, isn't he suppose to be a Jew?  :lol:

This seems like a rather weird addition to the story:

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.

Why would this super bug that can't seem to get off the ground stop people from going on a religious pilgrimage?

In other words, I think this propapganda is meant to achieve two purposes. 1) Remind people of the flu. I mean even those "crazy" Muslims are concerned!

And 2) Get out the message once again that Obama is a Muslim. Even though it appears that he does not even talk to this side of his alleged family. Last I heard, his alleged half-brother was living in a shack in Kenya on a dollar a month. In other words, this woman might as well be my grandmother.

The Zionists couldn't have created a better president than Obama to do serious damage to Islam. It's almost as if they made him to order. But that couldn't be. Sounds too much like a conspiracy theory.
