On the anniversary of the horrific 9/11 terror attacks against the World Trade Center and other targets, some are calling a deadly accident at the Grand Mosque in Mecca nothing less than divine payback.
A crane crashed into the building on Friday, leaving 65 dead and injuring another 154, according to initial estimates. The crane reportedly came down due to “strong winds” in the area. Heavy rains and even a lightning strike were also reported.
The mosque was even more crowded than usual because of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca by millions of Muslims this time of year, known as Hajj.
The mosque was built around the Kaaba shrine, where Abraham and his son Ishmael are believed to have built a house over 3,000 years ago. Devout Muslims are required to visit Mecca during Hajj at least once during their life and circle the Kaaba seven times.
Officially named the Masjid al-Haram, the Grand Mosque’s 88.2 acres make it the largest in the world. An expansion of the mosque to allow more than 1.6 million attendees began in 2011 and was scheduled to be completed in 2020, RT news reported.
Why? The grand mosque is hit, on 9/11, but a Bin Ladin. And we aren’t supposed to comment?
NO reason to zot this,, period.
The title doesn’t match the story. What do they mean by “slaughtered”? A crane fell on some muslims.
Nina Laden group was forced to call it an act of God to avoid litigation. Rich.
No, not zot the poster, zot the mosque.
“Slaughtered”? By a crane?
For what?
The jihadists got a zot.
(2) No one wants to destroy the Ka'aba and the Black Stone more than ISIS. They consider it an idol. They are very happy about this incident.
Agreed. Very Christian of you. Let them burn!
Accidents happen.
“65 dead and injuring another 154”
That’s a start.
I wonder if Kelsey Grammar would host a benefit telethon?
I would be the first one to laugh at a suicide bomber
hoist on his own petard, these were as much innocent
individuals as if it had fallen in New York.
Mr Kitty showed me a picture of the lightening striking Mecca. Pay back is a b****. What goes around, comes round.
The rainbow is a sign of God’s covenant. Not the nasty homosexual thing.
Won’t call them gay, most of the ones I know are miserable and I won’t give them another word to use inappropriately.
That has nothing to do with my post.
This has been posted a bunch of times, one superfluous topic deleted already, but anyway, I confess to open-mouthed laughing about these yearly Hajj deaths -- one year a group of Turkish pilgrims set down their luggage and moved up toward the goat-stoning (it's a solemn rite of course), and the thousands gathered got spooked by some stupid thing or other and rushed outward. The Turkish pilgrims turned to flee, tripped over their own luggage, and about fifty were trampled to death. Death by stampede may exceed all other causes of death during the Hajj.
Considering what muslom scum think of “non believers” for their sick “religion” of conquest, nothing good can come from their sickness, except death...
