  greg.org: the making of: Hajji doin?
An update on Hajji, the Arabic term for "pilgrim" which has become the GWII term for "enemy": it looks like it's not just for GWII anymore.
There are certainly some benign usages of Hajji around, and I can easily see how soldiers, hearing Arabs, Kuwaitis, or Iraqis address each other--or their elders--as "hajji," could adopt it with clean intent.
Hajji shop was the term in use for Arab convenience stores that sprang up around our camps.

  Iranica.com - HAJJI BABA OF ISPAHAN
The Il±i is seemingly represented in Hajji Baba and its sequel by the relatively benign character of Mirza Firouz, the Persian ambassador to England.
Hajji Baba "is but one type, though a common one, of his many-sided countrymen," one which is to be associated with the ruling elite rather than the majority of Persians.
Hajji Baba of Ispahan in England was translated by Asad-Alla@h T®a@heri as H®a@ji Ba@ba@ dar Landan (3 vols., Bombay, 1325/1907).

  Hajji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hajji (Arabic: الحجّي‎ al-ḥağğī, pilgrim) is an honorific title given to a Muslim person who has successfully completed the Hajj to Mecca, and is often used to refer to an elder, since it takes time to accumulate the wealth to fund the travel.
In Christian countries formerly under the rule of the Islamic Ottoman Empire in the Balkans, the title was also sometimes used by Christians despite the initial explicit reference to Islam.
From March 2003 onwards, just before the invasion of Iraq, the term Hajji has been documented among U.S. military personnel as a reference to all things "civilian" in the Middle East.

  England and the East in James Morier's Hajji Baba of Ispahan
When Hajji Baba appeared in 1824, good judges of fiction, among them Sir Walter Scott, immediately recognized it as a fine piece of picaresque literature, worthy to be compared with Gil Blas, the masterpiece that had suggested to Morier the mould into which to pour his knowledge of the East (14).
Hajji Baba stands in a class with Warburton's The Crescent and the Cross, Lane's Modern Egyptians, Curzon's Monasteries of the Levant, and Kinglake's Eothen (30).
Hajji Baba celebrates the luxury and wealth of the East; it portrays allusions and images of special signif-icance to the East presented in a comprehensive power in support of a political theory in service of militarily, econo-mically, and historically unified and powerful Europe.

 Hajji Bektash Wali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally from Nishapur (Iran), and a follower of the Yasawi Sufi order that was very active in Central Asia doing missionary work among the Turkish tribes of the area, he was sent by his sheikh, Ahmad Yasawi, to Anatolia.
The Bektashi order was most popular among rural segments of Anatolia and in the southern Balkans, in contrast to the Mevlevis, who generally attracted artisans, or the Naqshbandi or Halveti (Khalwati) orders, who attracted theologians and government officials.
It was also during the Ottoman period that many Alevi Muslims in Turkey attached themselves to the veneration of Hajji Bektash, a move which may have further polarized the tension between Alevism and the mainstream Sunni ideology of the Ottoman empire.

These darvishes came to him when they were in need or trouble because they knew that no matter what their difficulty was, he would always be willing to befriend them in whatever way he could, without ever questioning their motives or passing judgment on them.

Hajji was asked to hand the police the list of its 160 members, but declined to satisfy such a request.

With Hajji again having been forced to present himself before Tunisian police on 9 May, once more without reason given, there is concern that he may eventually be made to face charges and tried before a judge sympathetic to the regime.

And of course, you, Hajji Agha, are a dear friend and I need not sadden you with the inordinate problems that His Holiness and his staff face daily in helping the poor, the elderly and the informed.
Working his cell phone, Hajji Agha summons his chauffeur and glides in the back seat of a late model Mercedes limousine, virtually out of breath for having walked a few steps to the front door of the mosque.

 Hajji
This minority has increased in modern times, as better ships and overland transport, as well as airplanes, have made distances less of a problem.
While the total time expended on a hajj in earlier times could take years, now many Muslims manage to squeeze the full hajj into an extended holiday of 3-6 weeks.
A hajji is considered an enlightened person, but is almost never ascribed any powers beyond the baraka (blessing) which is the result of visiting what Muslims consider to be the most holy place in the world.

But gradually a struggle ensues inside of our hero's heart as about the change in the flow of his preferences to the girl instead of the emerald, which are also fed by the attraction the princess feels each time stronger towards the irresistible barber.
