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.

Wow, never knew of Spade’s connection to BJ’s wife or Michael O until just now....
It's true.
It's also true that dying while attacking infidels is not considered suicide under Islam, it's considered martyrdom, and results in the martyr being guaranteed instant entrance to Paradise.
*slam prohibits suicide, unless it’s to blow up a bunch of infidels, in which case the self-killer gets 72 female virgins and 17 male.
It’s a start.
Driven mad by Islamism.
Gotta give him a 10 for form but no better than 7 for style.
“It’s also true that dying while attacking infidels is not considered suicide under Islam, it’s considered martyrdom, and results in the martyr being guaranteed instant entrance to Paradise.”
Which makes Islam evil.
I thought they permitted suicide so long as you took out as many Jews and infidels with you as possible.
“I thought they permitted suicide so long as you took out as many Jews and infidels with you as possible.”
Apparently that’s the case.
So to sum Islam up:
Killing only yourself: Bad
Killing yourself and as many innocents as possible: Fantastic!
So true, a Muslim above all else including nationalism.
ALLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH...........SPLAT
Possible but he must have snuck in since non Mohammedans aren’t allowed into the Mecca area.
Yep, one down, @ 1.5bn of ‘em to go.
Quite an appropriate place to commit suicide, Mecca, the Devil’s Navel.

Pretty sure I heard a “splash”. Blood spatter and white robes don’t mix.
