Salam , this is for that Saudi monarchies see it as a treat to themselves & their Zionist masters  that sees Iran is as it's leader that other Shias &  Sunnis follow Iran that before Iran revolution both Shias & Sunnis were silent about them & their crimes based on which  all Sunni sects don't support criticizing leader even they were tyrants but Shia Islam always finds a way for criticizing & revolting against tyrant rulers that all rising against tyrants is Muslim history  except one or two incidents have Shia background .   

The 1987 Mecca incident was a clash between Shia pilgrim demonstrators and the Saudi Arabian security forces, during the Hajj pilgrimage; it occurred in Mecca on 31 July 1987 and led to the deaths of over 400 people. The event has been variously described as a "riot" or a "massacre". It arose from escalating tensions between Shia Iran and Wahabbi Saudi Arabia. Since 1981, Iranian pilgrims had held an annual political demonstration against Israel and the United States,^[1][2] but in 1987, a cordon of Saudi police and the Saudi Arabian National Guard had sealed part of the planned demonstration route, leading to a confrontation between them and the pilgrims. This escalated into a violent clash, followed by a deadly stampede.

 

For years, Iranian pilgrims had tried to stage demonstrations called "Distancing Ourselves from Mushrikīn" (برائت از مشرکين) in the Muslim holy city of Mecca during the Hajj.^[7]These demonstrations had their origins in 1971, when Ruhollah Khomeini instructed his Shiite followers to distribute political messages when performing their pilgrimage.^[8]Even though a few Iranians were arrested for this act, the Saudi officials were generally apathetic, as they did not view these political messages to be a threat to the Saudi royalty.^[9] The practice of distributing political messages, which were mainly criticism of the United States and Israel, as well as pro-Western governments, continued up until the year 1981.

In 1981, this was escalated into openly chanting political slogans in the Masjid al-Haram and the Prophet's Mosque, two of the holiest sites in Islam, resulting in violent clashes with Saudi security and one death.^[1] In the same year, King Khalid of Saudi Arabia wrote a letter to Saddam Hussein saying "crush these stupid Iranians" as Saddam pushed on with the invasion of Iranian territory.

The killing of Iranian Hajj pilgrims by Saudi Arabian police was followed by a strong reaction by Imam Khomeini, the then Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. He believed that the event has broken the heart of the Prophet (s). Also, in his speech, he said,

"If we ignore the issue of al-Quds, if we forgive Saddam, if we forgive everyone who did wrong to us, we cannot forgive the Hijaz incident. The Hijaz incident is something else."

Why do people feel the need to protest while on pilgrimage though? Pilgrimage is for pilgrimage, why not demonstrate in another time of year?

Why is almost no one against Saudi Arabia?

Why are these terrorists not refuted?

These people are nothing but opressors

The Saudis have made massive investments in Western media companies and along with that they are actually very close to the United States and other Western powers who will bend over backwards for them a lot of the time. The vast majority of Muslims want to make Hajj at some point in their lives which complicates Muslim countries going as strongly against the strange set-up there as it deserves because they could very easily block people under them from going to Mecca. Things though make it out of there which lead to hope. The fall of the House of the Saud would bring a lot of positive changes and not just for the Yemenis and the indigenous Palestinians who are as we would say here "On the Cross". The below is worth watching and it is amazing that it is out there.

That’s the whole idea. To protest in a place none would protest. This is what happens when everything else fails. It’s to be heard when no one has heard u throughout the year. Causing a disturbance causes attention. 

I don’t know if that’s right or wrong. I don’t know what happened, Im just talking about the psychology of protest

Salam ,because it only time that all Muslims around the world gather in one place & can have unbiased  & without barrier relation with each other also it is historically  on some records done by Imam Ali (عليه السلام) by order of Prophet Muhammad (pbu)  before conquering Hajj while Muslims were doing pilgrimage under Hudaibiah peace treaty ,that was very effective against Mushrikin & highly weakened their position in Mecca that revived after Iran revolution with same agenda against America & Zionists & Saud family that are controlling Hajj like time of Hdaibiah that Saud family highly uses American & Israeli services during Hajj but everyone is blind about it , that they built a Masonic tower beside Kaaba that only serves reach people’s & it’s shadow falls on Kaaba to humiliate Kaaba & they also built a wall around  three obelisk to prevent hitting by stones by same mason architect .

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called US President Donald Trump's "Deal of the Century" for the Palestinian territories a non-starter, which is doomed to failure. 

Here is the full text of the Leader’s message: 

Message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the great Hajj congregation August 6th, 2019 

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful 

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace be upon his exalted, trustworthy messenger, Muhammad the last of the Prophets, and his pure progeny, especially the one remaining with Allah on Earth, and on his chosen companions and those who faithfully followed them, until the day of judgment. 

Every year, the time of Hajj is the resort for the Islamic Ummah where they receive the Lord’s mercy. Qur'an’s call of “And proclaim Hajj among men” [Qur'an 22:27] is a call to everyone throughout history to come to this distribution of mercy, so that their God-seeking hearts and souls, and their thoughts and views benefit from its blessings; and every year, the lessons and teachings of Hajj propagate throughout the Muslim world by congregations of people. .........https://en.abna24.com/news//Imam-Khamenei-Hajj-is-a-great-opportunity-to-combat-the-deal-of-the-century_967974.html

Imam Khamenei felicitates world Muslims on Eid al-Adha

https://en.abna24.com/news//Imam-Khamenei-felicitates-world-Muslims-on-eid-al-adha_968311.html

Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA): Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has congratulated the Muslims of the world on the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Adha. 

“I congratulate all Muslims of the world on the Eid Al-Adha. There is great divine gratitude hidden in the Eid al-Adha on the part of the chosen Prophet of God, hazrat Abraham ((عليه السلام)) who made a sacrifice on that day,” the Leader's official English-language Twitter account quoted him as saying. 

Today is Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, an important festival on the Islamic calendar that marks the climax of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca and Medina. The occasion falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah on the lunar calendar every year. 

It commemorates Prophet Abraham’s acknowledging a divine order upon him to sacrifice his son. Upon submitting to God’s will, Ibrahim was exempted from performing the order and was offered a ram to sacrifice instead. 

The auspicious occasion is celebrated by saying prayers, sacrificing livestock and serving the meat to the needy. 

Iranian Muslims usually send their sacrifices to the underprivileged or charity organizations.

[Abu_Zahra]

He makes a good point. Is there any religious basis in the Qur'an or the narrations of the Prophet and his family (عليه السلام) for introducing political activism into/around the Hajj rituals? 

Having said that, Iran is not the only culprit here. The saudis are also guilty of using the sermons at arafat and masjid al haram (on Fridays) for political purposes.
