Pictured: The sprawling tent city as 3million Muslims descend on Mecca for holy Islamic pilgrimage

These astonishing images show a vast tent city housing thousands of Muslims in Saudi Arabia for the holy hajj pilgrimage....the Kabaa, Islam's holiest shrine....


Thousands of tents housing Muslim pilgrims are crowded together in Mina
near Mecca, today


Thousands throng the roads into and through the sprawling city

Later in the day, pilgrims enjoyed a feast of freshly slaughtered sheep, goats and camels at a huge tent city in Mina, a desert valley east of Islam's holiest city, Mecca, where the Kabaa resides....

Similar sacrifices, marking the start of the Eid al- Adha, or Feast of the Sacrifice...commemorates a story celebrated by Muslims...in which God asked the prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son to prove his faith, but then in the end offered a sheep to kill instead...


This aerial image made from a helicopter shows tens of thousands of Muslim pilgrims moving around the Kaaba, the black cube seen at centre

Turned on its head: A helicopter view of the city

Col.Khaled al-Mahmadi, the head of security at the Jamarat, said precautionary measures have been taken to avoid a stampede...

And now they're considered the Holy family (according to Allah, the most perfect race are the Arabs, the most perfect among those arabs are Qurayshis and the most perfect among those are Muhammed's descendents)

Racism is a vital component of Islam and Islamic terror. It's why they hate the Jews so much as they believe themselves to be the Chosen people, but that is due to what they believe to be a special mission or covenant with God.

Muhammad took this idea and twisted it into a racist, conquering, intolerant ideology. And who defends Islamists with all of their might? That would be the liberals.

Why do they go to Saudi Arabia to celebrate an event that took place in Israel?

Ah, but it didn't take place in Israel. Those lying jooos distorted the entire story and 2640 years later, Mo discovered the truth (how? allah knows!)

The Truth is that long, long ago, Adam and Eve were given this black rock (a meteorite) to mark where they should pray to Allah. Then, thousands of years later, Abraham came to Mecca to pray and he was about to sacrifice his son Ishmael (ancestor Of Mo), but Allah stopped him and gave him a goat to sacrifice (hence the term Bakri (goat) Eid).

Now, don't you believe what those joos and crusaders say, Mohammed was told this himself by the most beautiful Angel who he worshipped....

Interesting, I was involved in a secret project in the mid 80’s to dig a tunnel from temple in Mecca to a point outside, supposedly an escape tunnel if something bad happened. If I told, I would have to kill all.

It is a racist philosophy — one where the word for Negro (abd) is the same as that for slave and one where in heaven, the righteous are made fair and the sinful made dark skinned.

If we should have any Muslim Freepers or lurkers who haven’t been there yet, I dare you to get a picture of yourself draping your hands in over the sides of that thing, you know, right about 9 and 3.

“.........non-muslims are not allowed to step inside the “holey” cities of Mecca or Medina. Christians are not permitted to wear crucifixes or carry Bibles into the “holey” land of Saudi Arabia and there are no Churches in that “holey” land...........”

Why are muslims allowed in the Holy City of Detroit, of the Holy City of Atlanta?

Check out the news from Holland and the UK to see where all this is headed for us.
