would it be mean of me to hope that a muslim with ebola will travel to mecca?

Sorry, yes, it would be mean. Not all Muslims are terrorists. And if it went to Mecca, it would be a pandemic.

Jeddah is not to far from Mecca.

Saudi has already said no Hajj visas will be issued to countries that have ongoing ebola outbreaks.

This is their news release about the latest victim:

A suicide carrier?

I would prefer this not spread anymore.

Who cares?

Maybe a reduction of their population will prevent full blown WWIII.

Jeddah is the port city for Mecca.

When I "visited" Jeddah in 1976, it was population 300,000, and swelled to three million during the hadj. I'd guess it would be quite larger now.

In 1976, Jeddah had a traffic light.

it would be ill-considered indeed. per a recent post
at PJM’s Belmont Club [”Wretchard/Richard Fernandez]
a large percentage of the population there are
non-nationals; many engaged in perfectly decent activities
