This scene showing refugees and tents, looks just like the scene at Mecca, when I performed Hajj.   Hajj is the once in a lifetime pilgrimage, that each Muslim is required to make, if one is physically and financially able.  As part of the Hajj rituals, we had to experience homelessness and live like refugees for three days, with many people in tents.  One night, we had to sleep, all in the open.  The conditions there were set up to mimic a REAL refugee camp.  I had to fight through a mob, each time to use a toilet.  Trust me, this was NOT a fun camping trip.  Since then, I have become more humble and sensitive to those who are homeless.  May God help these refugees, worldwide.
