More than 30,000 workers, guides and security staff have been drafted in to the city to manage the huge influx of visitors, who will be arriving via 14,000 domestic and international flights to be greeted by temperatures of up to 44C.

“Enjoy the 105 degree heat...Over/under on the body count?”
_____________________________________

Whatever the Official Body Count is multiplied by 3.

_____________________________________

Every death represents a lost soul.

Every death represents a person who is also not going to be able to terrorize/bomb/rape Muslims who don’t share their ‘exact’ belief system and Non-Muslims.

While saddened by the lost soul, it is al with gratitude of one less risk to the world.

“Complicated business,” as President Trump would say.

If I recall correctly, people have died in Mecca due to stampedes around the holy sites. Yes the brutal heat may get to some, but the awful human behavior of their fellow Muslims also causes some to die.

The Hajj must have been planned by the same folks who convince entire families to visit Orlando in August - when it’s 90 degrees with tropical humidity.

44 Celsius is about 111 Farenheit, very very hot. Even if it’s a dry heat in the Saudi desert.

There is only one real Mecca and that’s Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

Or maybe Graceland too.

There’s the Daytona Speedway. That’s the Mecca of Red Necka.

We’ve missed so many in the past. We should really take advantage of this one.

Ring around the Kaaba

Heads all full of Wabbiah

Trampled, trampled.

All fall dead.

A single W88 could probably cut international terrorism by half. Just saying.

With so many people from around the world packed into such a small area, how much disease and illness is spread and then distributed back to their homes? Dangerous stuff like EBOLA and other deadly diseases you would expect to be rampant along with all kinds of parasitic infections and viruses. How does Saudi keep from having a plague from everyone touching everything. Not enough water and hand sanitizer in the world for this. I’d expect that cruise ship disease to be running around, and some of the original countries are not known for their cleanliness.

What would the best altitude be for the airburst detonation? 10,000 feet or so?

‘fell like lightning from heaven’...(Luke 10:18)

As Jesus probably spoke spoke Aramaic, let’s see what “lightning from heaven” actually SOUNDED like:

Lightening = “barack”

Heaven (literally the High Place” = “bama”

From (a short preposition sound like “uh”?)

put ‘em all together and what d’ya got?

Just sayin’.
