I was replying specifically about those who were on Hajj as this topic was about. You are talking about a guy on TV in Saudi Arabia which is a seperate issue relating to the goings on in Saudi of which I strongly oppose (ie. two faced in allies to the West and on other side pandering to the Wahabs).

I don't know how many people in Saudi watch TV and who specifically watched this particular program. Do you know the figures? I suspect not. In any case this has nothing to do with pilrims on Hajj or about 350 pilrims being crushed to death. It's a convenient platform for you though. I have not experienced Hajj myself but from going off family members and speaking to friends and the writings of those who have experienced Hajj they don't sit down and watch TV.
