This is all of course a Zionist plot backed by the American infidels!

>>>>Sad that all those people died in what might have been one of their few non-violent expressions of their faith.
Since the stampeding was for the stoning part of their ritual....I'm not sure I agree with that.

They were throwing things at the pillars, not actual live folks right?
I mean, they might put up a picture of Michael Moore eating three subway foot-longs, but that would be it, right?

That is correct. BUT, the Demons are made symbolic. And the EID message from a few days ago was using 'death to America' and 'death to Ariel Sharon' as the demonic symbols.
So, what were they chanting while stoning?

This is becoming an annual story. Everytime Muslims go to Mecca for one of these pilgimages, several hundred die in one of these stampedes.
Where are the leftists decrying the senseless deaths? Where are the Islamic clerics trying to solve the problem to keep any future homocide bombers from offing themselves in a pilgrimage stampede before they can off themselves in a crowded market?

I believe an Iman has declared that divorce will be automatic upon seeing the spouse naked :P

At least 345 people were killed in a stampede, which occurred in Mecca as tens of thousands of pilgrims headed toward al-Jamarat, a series of three pillars representing the devil that the faithful pelt with stones to purge themselves of sin. Doesn't that make the pillars a graven image? I thought those were a big No-No for the Islamics... maybe only Other peoples' graven images?
Perhaps if they tried not stoning wive and daughters, rather than stoning a pillar representing the Great Satan (oops sorry, just Satan) they wouldn't have to purge themselves of sin, ... other than that thing with the goats.
