Hundreds of thousands of Muslims performed the early morning
Eid Al-Fitr prayers at the al-Haram Grand Mosque in Mecca this morning

A duty for every able-bodied Muslim at least once in his or her lifetime, the gruelling five-day haj ritual is one of the world's biggest displays of mass religious devotion. Pilgrims converge on the Grand Mosque and follow a route around the rocky mountains of the ancient city in line with a tradition established by the Prophet Mohammed.

The three-day festival, which begins after the sighting of a new
crescent moon, marks the end of
the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan


During Ramadan, which is the holiest month in the Islamic
calendar, Muslims abstain from food, drink and sex

The five oldest and most trusted Islamic sources don’t portray Muhammad as a great and godly man. They confirm that he was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape. He authorized deception, assassinations, torture, slavery, and genocide. He was a pirate, not a prophet. According to the Hadith and the Qur’an, Muhammad and his henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity.

And these idiots dedicate their lives to this ?

Doom on em all.....

Gee, Too bad they can't abstain from murder. That would be something.
