This is the latest current video of Mecca. If you've never seen this, you will be astonished.

Nope. Only Moslems are allowed in the city of Mecca.

"Pity" is what it is.

Do you think that maybe if we all got together and sent them a dozen or so new cranes they might try it again.

Most of the foreign workers are moslems from Bangladesh and Indonesia. I lived about 50 miles from Mecca. Would’ve liked to have seen that but couldn’t.

Bet you were waiting all day to catch somebody on that. Hope it makes you feel omniscient. Everybody is entitled to their day in the sun, however brief.

Did you see the picture posted on Drudge? So many cranes -must be some major construction/expansion going on. The Yahoo site had an even more “bird’s eye” view of that same picture -—probably 20+ cranes around that area —could cause a lot of damage if more than one goes down....just sayin’.........

No. You making an issue of something many people are unaware of, including myself before you so graciously “enlightened” me. AND you know what, I am still not entirely convinced the Saudis don’t use foreign laborers in Mecca rather than sweating their own lazy butts, Koran or not. We have seen how Muslims adroit manipulate their religion to their own advantage whenever it’s convenient to do so.
