They prayed for their salvation as well as for world peace, harmony and prosperity.

This is the biggest gathering in the world....and all these millions are dressed the same way and performing the same rituals and praying the same prayers. Its magnificent and really a unique experience to be there. I pray that one day you get to experience this.

Then they all head down to bombs-a-rama and try on the latest in suicide vests, maybe bring a few beheading videos home as souvineers for the kids.
