Allah’s will?
Stupid muslims. Too much inbreeding.
This could be made into an annual betting game you know.
Didn’t a whole gang of them die one time when they set an airplane on fire when cooking over an open fire in the aisle. How 7th century of them. And Obama and Francis want us to welcome them to 21st century America.
Breaking: Heaven announces a shortage of virgins.
Maybe I’m.missing something? Does something happen at these Haji events which whips people into a frenzy?? This isn’t the first stampede they have had related to the Hajj events.
And to think the media is so unfairly accused of doing nothing but report negative stories.
The devil desires blood...
I was living in SA when this occurred. The list in the article doesn't include the many accidents related to the travel of hajis to SA. Plane crashes, sinking ships, etc. have killed thousands as well.
I read and re-read the story. What was the “tragedy”?
It was clearly caused by a Zionist conspiracy.

AFP has more details of the stoning the devil ritual, during which the stampede occurred:
...The ritual emulates the Prophet Abraham, who is said to have stoned the devil at three locations when he tried to dissuade Abraham from God’s order to sacrifice his son Ishmael.
At the last moment, God spares the boy, sending a sheep to be sacrificed in his place.
The world’s Muslims commemorated Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son by slaughtering cows, sheep and other animals on Thursday.
Well, one man’s tragedy is another man’s blessing, in this case.
