Nigerian women boarding a bus after arrival in Medina, Saudi Arabia
The below report from Le Figaro describes a diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria. It seems that approximately 1,000 Nigerian women have been denied entry into Saudi Arabia for the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) because they were not accompanied by male guardians.

Nigeria is protesting what it calls discriminatory treatment because only their country seems to be singled out. A Nigerian religious figure, Sheikh Ahmad Mahmoud Gumi, who, according to the Le Figaro article, has been linked to terrorist groups, has "poured gasoline on the fire" by stating that certain Nigerians in Saudi Arabia have committed acts that offend the religion.
The National Organization of Women (NOW) has issued no comment as far as I know.
It is good to see Gary Fouse advocating for Muslims attempting to make the Hajj.
