I disagree. He mentions a "prayer mat" which is a central part of Islam. Where he says "I fell to my knees, I kissed the ground then I started to cry", it's the physical actions of Muslim prayer, called 'Salat'. Where he says "I was thirsty then I came to a spring I had to have faith", he's talking about Zam Zam water. It's part of a ritual during Hajj to drink water from a blessed fountain. He's not just talking about normal water, because he mentions "I had to have faith". Where he says "merchants selling saffron and spice", he refers to the street vendors and their specific produce so common in Arab countries. |

| Obviously about Islamic pilgrimage in the Middle East. I don't know whether Jaz Coleman was a Muslim at any time, so it may be symbolic. He could be making a point that people find strength in religion, and in this case giving the example of a Muslim. | |
