Subject: [mukto-mona] Hajj application for Muslim pilgrims asks 'are you Shia?'
"A religion that specializes in creating division while claiming the opposite ever since its inception. Its upside-down relationship with reality pretty much covers all aspects of life as well, to be honest. It's also a potent inducer of a trance like state in a believer, whereby the latter becomes oblivious to reality, his or her mind always thinking of afterlife." -Ahmed Asif

"Government officials in Pakistan confirmed the reports and said, reported The Express Tribune: "Saudi Arabia will not entertain any Hajj application from aspirants that fail to specify whether the applicant is a Shia or a Sunni.""

<< A mahram is a male relative of a woman whom she is forbidden to marry under Islam, including one's father, brother or son.
Muslim scholars differ in their opinions on whether or not it is obligatory for a woman to travel for Hajj with a mahram.
Under the Saudi regulations, however Shia women can perform Hajj without the company of a male mahram while Sunni women require a mahram. >>
