Religion was always political. God was invoked to serve the needs of the preacher. Even Abraham and his descendants had different gods.

"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

<< 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. >>
