Makkah municipality seized about 3,500 gallons of fake Zamzam from a warehouse in Al-Kaakiya neighborhood in Makkah.

The raid also involved secret police and other related departments. Officials seized fake Zamzam stickers that were placed on these gallons.

A number of people of different nationalities were arrested. Head of the market department at the municipality, Muhammad Al-Osaimi, said that the demand on Zamzam water during Ramadan increase and as such people take advantage and fill Zamzam containers with water from unknown source.

He said that the municipality teams work around-the-clock to check on any violations of health and security regulations.

I just wish someone would dope that well with a few gallons of pure LSD.

Or maybe it’s just me.....

"I just wish someone would dope that well with a few gallons of pure LSD."

You are somehow abused of the notion that this would change their behavior?

As if it could get any more bizarre?

A potentially interesting experiment, though.

I sense a country song coming on:


If you walk-a in old Makkah in the town of Al-Kaakiya
And the feller in the turban sez he's awful glad to see ya
And the water that he's holding is a bunch of al-taqqiya
Well you better getcha ready for a scam
Cause the water that he's holding ain't zamzam.

If you're honing up yer Kabar for a quick decapitation
Or you're stoning some poor Kaffir in a fit of irritation
And you're thinking "Gosh, I'm thirsty" as a sign of poor hydration
Well you better know that bottle's just a sham
Cause the water that he's holding ain't zamzam.

If you drive a loaded car-bomb to a school or crowded market
And the sweat is pouring down ya as you turn the wheel to park it
And you want a drink before you press the button that will spark it
Well you better leave it laying 'fore you scram
Cause the water that you're holding ain't zamzam.

If the mullah named Abdullah offers you a brimming flagon
And your throat feels like the gullet of a fire-breathing dragon
You just wave and tell him, "Thanks, my friend, but no, I'm on the wagon,
"If I want my virgins, I can't touch a dram,
"Cause that water that you're selling ain't zamzam."

Now all I gotta find is an agent...
