No Zamzam water without passport
2015-04-12
[ARABNEWS] Zamzam water has a special place in the hearts of Moslems as something revered and unique. Every year millions of pilgrims travel to Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
for Umrah and Haj from outside and inside the country.

Many Moslems drink Zamzam as sacred water that can cure their health problems, but sometimes pilgrims and those who live inside the Kingdom are cheated by illegal venders who sell Zamzam after mixing it with other water and charging extra.
Wait -- they're diluting it with water?! How can anyone tell?

Oh, that's right, Jizya.
