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...

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...
Or "Yentl".
Muslims use water and left hand to wipe their butts. The right bare hand is used for eating.
Gross public health risk.
If we neutron bombed the place once a year after about 60 years all of our problems would be solved.
It is the nature of their cult religion of death. The only times they are truly following the command of Allah is when they are killing in his name, forcing conversions to Islam, or subjugating and taxing non-believers.
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared," Kill any Jew who falls under your power."
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
Targets of opportunity...
Such a mellow and loving bunch of folks!
Talk about your Target Rich Environments...........
I wish that statement was somewhere near close to correct.
You smell. They STINK! ;)
Prayer thread should start now........Hey, God said ask and ye shall receive. ........Father, if it is thy will........now would be good......or something like that. Ok OH KAY, how about “How long O Lord?”
Exactly! Haven't you heard? The ROP is special. Just ask our Prez. He loves 'em! He'll be hosting his last Ramadan dinner for them at the White House this year, and then we've got a REAL Muslim who will take over and it's going to be even worse. No doubt saying something like this will be considered "hate speech."
Supplied the equipment & engineering. Also being “in the Tunnel” wasn't in Mecca. The tunnel in the Russian Mt's was worse in that the KGB were drunk half the time and the other half obnoxious. The the idiots from the CIA would interview us - to find out if the Ruskies were putting missiles in there. I think the CIA guys were all Harvard grads.
It’s like Woodstock
but without the hygiene
and “hate” as the slogan rather than “peace”
Somebody dusted all the prayer rugs with itching powder.
FREEBIRD!
Wow. Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine would never find their tent in that mall.
Yes, it is a book of double talk written to justify that Mohammmad did what ever he wanted to.
