I saw no indication as to what caused the fire so I can only “assume” that it was in fact an “Act of God”

“Firefighters “rescued two pilgrims who were hurt” by the fire in an eighth-floor room of the unnamed hotel, the agency said.”

Probably some stupid Muslims do a “tailgate party” for their Haj and the pork ribs got away from them .... a real b!tch to lose those ribs as they are hard as hell to come by in Saudi Arabia.

Yeah, they ain’t pilgrims. They are worshipping an idol. A black rock. Pagans.
