Strange coming from a guy who worships a meteorite and walks three times around a stone box.

The pilgrims shout:
Obedience to You God; we come obedient to You God
The praise and gratitude is due to You as the ownership of everything
We come obedient to You God: no associate we ascribe to You

No meteorite is worshipped, and the seven rounds around the Kaaba at Mecca is a rite of God in the pilgrimage to Mecca: a rite that had been done by Abraham then by was done by Mohammed according to the instructions of God.
A nice tale about a pilgrim:
One of my friends went recently to visit the Kaaba at Mecca in the Omra pilgrimage.
When he went in the House of God at Mecca and saw the Kaaba before him, he was much delighted and had much affection.
At that emotional moment (because God enabled him to visit His House at Mecca), he felt that Satan came to his side and suggested to him: "Is this better or the gold shrine of Imam Abbas and Imam Hussein?"
My friend, a righteous devoted servant of God, said: "Go away cursed Satan; this is you tell to your followers: the worshippers of stone and shrines."
And he felt as if there was someone who slipped away from him.
I told his stories to some medical assisstant who also went to Mecca in the Hajj and Omra pilgrimage, and he said to me:
"I also faced such an experience and found that Satan even at that rite of the Hajj came and suggested: See that beautiful woman and that nice looking woman! that is in spite of I was asked God's protection from the suggestions of the devil."
