RABAT, Morocco - A minaret collapsed during Friday prayers at a crowded mosque in the old town of the historic Moroccan city of Meknes, killing 36 people and injuring 71, the official MAP news agency said.
Officials blamed the accident on heavy rain that had weakened the minaret at the Bab Berdieyinne Mosque, according to a statement released by the Interior Ministry.
King Mohammed VI sent the interior minister and religious affairs minister to Meknes, a UNESCO heritage city and one of Morocco's four imperial cities, some 60 miles east of the capital Rabat.

I didn’t know that Morocco has a king.
At least these folks died praying. Can’t think of a better way to go.

When their flag is ACTUALLY a pentagram, you can be pretty sure who their god is.

Bab Berdieyinne Mosque?
A search on this only comes up with this story (or others like it). Is this a new mosque or one of those made of mud brick?

Q. What do you call 36 dead radical muslims who were killed by a falling minaret?
