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.

What is it that mohammedans say, “inshallah” meaning “if it is the will of allah”?
If this is allah’s will towards the faithful, they really should consider finding a less capricious and bloodthirsty deity to worship.

The FBI is on their way and will release that announcement shortly.
FBI: “We suspect some White, male, born-in-America veterans are at the bottom of this.”
“DoJ Grief counselors and Islamophobia experts have been dispatched to assist in the investigation.”

"Officials blamed the accident on 8 years of failed policies during the Bush Administration that had weakened the minaret at the Bab Berdieyinne Mosque, according to a statement released by the Interior Ministry."

Don’t build them like they used to.
Sorry if decent people got killed or hurt.
To: Doulos1
No doubt the true God heard them, and gave them a happy death.

They build these things out of something rain can disrupt? Maybe their mohamamadman is sending
them a message to lay off whacking innocents?
