A towering construction crane toppled over on Friday during a violent rainstorm in the Saudi city of Mecca, Islam's holiest site, crashing into the Grand Mosque and killing at least 107 people ahead of the start of the annual hajj pilgrimage later this month.

It will be interesting when the BinLaden company in their discussions with the insurance company refers to “Act of God”

I thought stormy weather caused the collapse?

The Binladen construction company has built most of what now stands as the Grand Mosque.

You are talking like a Western expert. But, this is in Saudi. ;-)

There are about 1.57 billion muslimes.

According to the media, you know, those that luv muslimes, the percentage of muslimes that support/approve terrorism number about 10%. . .157 million.

Let’s just say that only 5% support/approve of terrorism, that means there are 78,500,000 muslime terrorist/terrorist supporters.
