No, the largest registered mankind gathering is the hindu Kumbh Mela. Over 20 millions, if I'm not mistaken, it's done like every 3 years or something like that.

Only 2 million? Considering there are abuot 1.4 billion "Muslims" on this planet, that isn't very impressive. That's only 0.14% of the entire Muslim population. Now consider this FACT: they under the impression that they are OBLIGATED to participate in this tourism scheme, which existed CENTURIES before Mohammad was born.
"Mecca was a thriving commercial centre, due in great part to a stone temple (now called the Kaaba) that housed many different cult figures (idols). Merchants from various tribes would visit Mecca during the pilgrimage season, when all inter-tribal warfare was forbidden and they could trade in safety."
"Muhammad now came under the care of his uncle Abu Talib, the new leader of the Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe, the most powerful in Mecca." ... the OWNERS of the Kaaba!
Notice how Mohammad didn't abolish the pilgrimage, but rather used it to assimilate people into Islam? A little logic and objective reasoning exposes Mohammad's true motives. Don't take my word for it...READ HISTORY, and gain the WISDOM it takes to spot the signs of a false prophet.
Peace. I hope you don't want me KILLED for showing you the truth.

Nope, not even close.
There have been two events held by the Hindu Vishnu Perishad that were much much bigger.
