I honestly have no idea. Possibly because of political outcry if they didn't from other Muslims, or something like that? I'm really not sure.

My buddy who has been on Hajj twice says the whole experience is heavily ritualized, so doctrinal differences don't really matter. It's more of a beautiful coming together of Muslims from all over the world. Plus, walking through the desert is loving brutal and it takes a particular kind of rear end in a top hat to start a fight when they are that exhausted.
