Assist King Of Football Makes Pilgrimmage To Mecca

Mesut Ozil is considered by many to be one of the best living football players. In 2013, he became the most expensive German player of all time nabbing a club-record fee of £42.5 million. Last week, there seemed to be more on his mind than just money.

Mesut Ozil is a Muslim?!

Well, he just made pilgrimmage to the holiest spot on Earth for Muslims, and people went mad! Someone with 'more followers than Kim Kardashian' is showing Islam in a positive light?

Some just wanted to show the love...

And good for him. Oh, and if he wasn't cool enough, he visited a refugee camp on the way
