Hajj Disaster Kills 244

e-TurboNews reports on a Hajj disaster. The author provides interesting details on the rites and logistics of this pilgrimage I, as a non-Moslem, will never be able to experience.

The question arises, how are those with disabilities who make Hajj accommodated? Liturgies express in symbolic and social terms a religion's underlying spiritual values. Where do Hajj, Islam and universal design intersect?
