@angelofdeath275 "...And i say this as an American". Right off the top, in the video he mentions being American journalist with Pakistani parents. As a Canadian Atheist, I am quite appreciative that he shot this short documentary, back in the day, as I work with a number of wondeful Muslim Canadians and it gives me more of an understanding into their belief system. His narration track was was definitely insightful. I do fully realize that this is a major religious event in the world but for comparison, it kind of reminds me of the 100's of thousands of gay devotees, attending Pride Parades in the major cities (like Vancouver) and all the things you "must do"...some of which are usually cast as dirty, dark secrets.

Aziz A "This guy acts like his not brown or muslim.. be real bro." If you watch the video he gives us his street cred. He's brown, Muslim, THE founder of Vice. His parents are Pakistani Americans and they all live in New York City and this is their very first time going to Hajj. How much more real can you get.

@Kazi Ovi lol all of them were pagans before 2000 years, and before pagans hunter gatherers. Very similar to Christians then before Jesus arrived?

@BoqPrecision "The big wigs on Vice have no respect for people like him, just use them to bait an audience with preconceived thoughts." If you watched the video from the very beginning you would have scene the title graphics stating his credentials being "Founder of Vice". He IS THE Bigwig. I think he did a great job, in spite of the fuzzy camera footage, which he overcame with his casually informative (for the outsider, like me) narrative track. I tip my hat to him.
