YES. I know this has been posted multiple times, the actual content isn't what I noticed.
Follow the link to the original article and it explains how the tragedy played out, pilgrims tripped over luggage...hey wait, the word luggage is a hypertext link...hovering the pointer over it prompts an add for - "Pssst. Wanna buy some luggage at a discount." I laughed out loud at how tasteless this was.

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. Sounds like the ritual works.

Stone throwing at Jews and Infidels is an old Muslim custom, which expresses hatred and contempt for the victims. Picking up a stone and throwing it just comes naturally to Muslims. Children used to be encouraged to do it as a sign of their superiority to Infidels and a means of keeping Infidels in their place.
Below, a picture of Muslims throwing stones in Mecca at the stone pillar representing the Devil:

These are very primitive people. World knowledge remains beyond their grasp. Their lives are lived in a very small box of highly dubious religious belief, which they cling to as a drowning man might cling to driftwood. They have no philosophy, no science, no economics, no understanding of even their own past and no viable hope for their future. They will probably kill to stay in that box!

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

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?

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.

has seen deadly stampedes in the past, including one in 1990 that killed 1,426 people and another in February 2004 that killed 244. This gave me a great idea!
Can we schedule this event every week instead of once a year?
