A man has committed suicide by throwing himself off the roof of the Grand Mosque in Islam's holiest city of Mecca, Saudi police said Saturday.
"A foreigner threw himself from the roof of the Grand Mosque in Mecca" to the courtyard below, "resulting in his instant death", state news agency SPA said, quoting police. The rare act was not the first of its kind to take place in Mecca, the holiest city in Islam -- which, like other monotheistic religions, prohibits suicide. The body was transported to hospital, with an investigation underway "to determine the victim's identity, what led to the act and how he was able to commit it despite the existence of a metal fence", SPA said. Last year, a Saudi man tried to set himself on fire in front of the Kaaba -- the s quare stone building in the centre of the mosque compound -- but was stopped by security forces.

I guess Obama was really bent out of shape about the opposition to his Presidential PALACE in Chicago.

Only muslims are allowed into Mecca.
Some muslim, and as a muslim not innocent, as all muslims are religiously obligated to world domination by killing all infidels who refuse to submit.

Interesting.
It would appear that the islamic definition of suicide is "killing only yourself."

Committing suicide in Mecca gives you Paradise with 73 Virgins, and one extra for each other Muslim you take with you! Spread the word.

“...A foreigner threw himself from the roof of the Grand Mosque in Mecca...”
Yeah... that’ll solve the problem...
Great “religion” they got there... inspires some of it’s followers to cut folks’ heads off, and other to pretend they can fly from the roof.
