Happy Haj: The number one Satan is America: "The 5-day haj, marred by deadly stampedes in recent years, was overshadowed by the hanging on Saturday of the former Iraqi leader, a hero to some Sunni Arabs because of his anti-U.S. stance, but hated by many Shi'ites. "The number one Satan is America," said Iraqi pilgrim Suleiman Awadallah, who described himself as "a resistance fighter", after performing the stoning ritual. "The prayers of all Muslims when they cast their stones at the devil must be directed at (U.S. President George) Bush and his devilish allies in America and the Arab world."
Happy Haj 2: "Get out of my face, it's 150 riyals ($40)! Don't waste my time," "Tired Muslims making the haj pilgrimage to Mecca gave up walking on the final day and put themselves in the hands of unscrupulous taxi drivers to complete the gruelling rites on time."
