Hi Neil:
A search on Yahoo.com with the words Haj Pilgrimage netted 708 links, and
I'm sure there are tons more in re. to tourism. As far as Islam and
globalisation- this is a huge topic and as we all know varies quite a bit
from region to region. In '97 we did a workshop for local (San Francisco
Bay Area) school teachers on Islam as a global religion and have put some
of that information on the web. It was a very successful workshop and well
received by the teachers. We have listed the topics covered, such as Women
in Islam, Islam in the US, etc, and also have links to other useful info.
The url is-

I hope this will be a start and/or useful to Maria? If she has any
questions please tell her to contact me!
Good luck and best wishes to her!
cheers
