Alwaght- Saudi 2015 Hajj application for
Pakistan requires the pilgrim to identify if s/he is Shiite or not. Answering
the question, on the
page number 8 of the questionnaire, is compulsory
for the approval of the Hajj application.
In other
words, Saudi Arabia
will not entertain any Hajj application from Pakistani applicants that fail to
specify whether the applicant is a Shiite or not.
"Are you Shia?" is the newly added must-answered question of 2015 hajj
application for Pakistani Muslims which can be considered one of the flagrant
examples of Saudi Arabia's growing sectarianism among Muslims worldwide.
It seems that Saudis do not want a repeat of
the 1987 demonstrations during the hajj pilgrimage, which led to the deaths of
over 400 people in Makkah.
Moreover, according to WikiLeaks, Saudi Arabia funds
terrorists groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan. In fact, Takfiri terrorists
collect data of Shiite Muslims including doctors, professors, engineers,
politicians and kill them theough Saudi sources.
Pakistan has the second largest population of
Shiite after Iran. Shiites account for about 20% of the 185 million population
of Pakistan.
