Over 717 Die In Saudi Arabia Following Deadliest Stampede In Hajj History
Perhaps when a crane fell on the Grand Mosque in Mecca on September 11, resulting in over 87 deaths, following what some said was lightning striking, perhaps it was indeed a sign.
Overnight, while the western world was following every twist of the Pope's visit to the US and the spreading impact Germany's "Diesel Swan", the Muslim world was again focused on Mecca where the first day of the Eid al-Adha, one of the holiest holidays in the Muslim calendar took place when millions of Muslims make their pilgrimage, or hajj, to Mecca.

And like on many previous occasions, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca once again led to a tragic loss of life in what may be the deadliest stampede in pilgiramge history when at least 717 people died and another 805 were injured.
According to the NYT, the deaths occurred around 9 a.m., on the first day of Eid al-Adha, as millions of Muslims were making their pilgrimage, or hajj, to Mecca. The accident took place at the intersection of two roads in Mina, causing many to fall and others to panic, according to Saudi Arabia’s civil defense directorate.
BBC adds that the incident happened when there was a "sudden increase" in the number of pilgrims heading towards pillars, the statement said.
This "resulted in a stampede among the pilgrims and the collapse of a large number of them", it added.
Security personnel and the Saudi Red Crescent were "immediately" deployed to prevent more people heading towards the area, the directorate said.
What is perplexing is that while today's may be the most bloody stampede in hajj history, it will merely be the latest in a long series of tragic events which seemingly lead to absolutely no change whatsoever. The following is a list from the Daily Sabah listing the history of deadly hajj events over the years.
2015
- September 24: A stampede during the "stoning of the devil" ritual in Mina, near Mecca, leaves at least 453 people dead and 719 injured.
- September 11: 109 people are killed and hundreds injured, including many foreigners, when a crane collapses on Mecca's Grand Mosque after strong winds and heavy rain.

2004
- February 1: 251 people are killed in a stampede at Mina.
2003
- February 11: 14 faithful, including six women, die on the first day of the stoning ritual.
2001
- March 5: 35 pilgrims, including 23 women, die at the ritual in Mina.

- April 9: More than 118 people are killed and 180 injured in a stampede at Mina.
1997
- April 15: A fire caused by a gas stove rips through a camp housing pilgrims at Mina, killing 343 and injuring around 1,500.
1995
- May 7: Three people die and 99 are injured when a fire breaks out at the Mina camp.
1994
- May 24: 270 people are killed in a stampede during the stoning, an incident authorities attribute to "record numbers" of pilgrims at the site.

Which brings us to today, when the at least 453 dead is one of the largest stampede death tolls in hajj history, which already may have found a scapegoat: according to Al Jazeera, the head of Central Hajj Committee Prince Khaled al-Faisal blamed the stampede on "some pilgrims from African nationalities.
Of course, it had nothing to do with the organizers repeating the same mistakes over and over and never actually learning.
Meanwhile, this is how the tragedy looked through the lens of Twitter:

Uhh huh!
That's why African blacks have dark skin and Normans had white skin.
Yep, no biological connection, much less DNA connection.
You should stand in the mirror and ask why do I hate my whiteness?
Don't come back until you know the answer.
Little Ewik, even you cannot deny the IQ differential between races.. However, that is secondary to culture.
"Racial purity" is a far right delusion, nothing more. It has no connection to biological reality.
Fer realz? So if I take 10 viking-esque blondes from Sweden, and 10 Pigmies, the blondes would have no more in common, physiologically- or genetically- speaking, with each other, than they would with the Africans?
What kind of education does it take to come up with such stuff? You must have at least one PhD to believe such nonsense.
Though I agree worrying about racial purity is absurd. Take a male and female of the archtypal blondes, and of the Pigmies; regardless of whether the blondes breed with each other or with the Africans, the actual number of genes descended from each group remains the same; the kids just look less like their parents if they sprang from mixed parentage than they would from parents of the same "race".
The fact that people of any background can have perfectly healthy children with each other cogently illustrates that there is but one "race", and that is the human race.
The far right's pseudo-scientific view on these issues assumes humanity is subject to a process biologists call "speciation". It is not. As borders in our world, both physical and cultural, becoming ever more ephemeral, humanity will never undergo speciation either.
Your fantasies are dead. That won't be changing.
Well, perhaps using the word "race" to describe the differentiation between blondes and pigmies allows equivocating twonks like yourself to use the (relatively) recent taxonomical use of the word in their attempts to refute the more ancient description of peoples' differences using that word; but that no more refutes the fact that different groups of people have inherent differences, just as German Shepherds have different attributes to Dachshunds, regardless of the fact they can breed to produce mongrels with attributes from both breeds.
If you want to argue that mongrels are superior to "purebreds", fine; but that's a completely different argument, isn't it?
And I say this as a man who has had partners from other races... and considers himself a mongrel.
If you don't think genetic variation among human populations exist that results in the exaggeration of certain traits and the suppression of others then you're just a fucking idiot.
You mean the Frankified/Christianized Vikings that conquered Paris and settled in what became "Normandy"? And then conquired Britain? Those Normans? I'm sure they were as pure as the driven snow after having their way in France.
Yes. The Normans are of note because they were unusually "mixed" for their time. The sons and daughters of Norsemen who were settling in the north of France, they were also Celtic and Roman in their cultural and genetic heritage through their mothers. A very "European" people in a sense, nearly a thousand years before the European Union would come into being.
"Racial purity" is a far right delusion, nothing more. It has no connection to biological reality.
MmmHmmm. So the Zionist Kibbutzim, who are totally into "racial purity", but lived in communes, are "far right", are they?
Right and Left. You've been here how long now and you're still categorizing on that basis?
Admit it. You just use "far right" to describe something you find objectionable, because it works as a dog-whistle amongst the people you normally hang out with: the historically ignorant, shibboleth-hugging "liberals" who unthinkingly regurgitate their indoctrination.
I assure you, breeding to confirmation works very well, and it isn't just about looks. Intelligence, temperament, racial memory and inherent aptitudes are in play. I don’t think my gorgeous blue-eyed, blonde haired just turned 2-yo twins musical abilities are entirely environmental. I don’t think the academic performance of my older children is environmental. We are builders of civilization, creators, and inventors. We are ethnic Europeans. Pushed to it, we are skilled warriors, and with our technology, dominant.
If your in Europe, you best start training for the day your pushed to it..
Is Islam worse than getting drunk at Oktoberfest?
I've never seen or heard of stampede deaths at Oktoberfest. Just many people (over-)indulging in god's gift to man.
"In the past the pilgrimage was for years marred by stampedes and fires, but it had been largely incident-free for nearly a decade following safety improvements."
http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/at-least-453-dead-719-hurt-in-hajj-s...
So, now you're rushing to their defense; they're not "crazed" Muslims, just plain vanilla Muslims? ;)
They should have overhead traffic lights and cameras all over the place.
How about this? Maybe they should stop trying to cram 3,000,000 people into space that holds 200,000 . . . . dumb asses.
No, keep cramming, harder.
Or they should just have an A-10 Warthog make a strafing run.
Beat "death by crane crashing on your head" I suppose.
Or maybe not. What a bunch of dumbfucking clowns. Either way, no virgins for you!
actually, someone yelled out, 'Free prayer rugs over at Abduls!"
How can anyone resist a free rug?
Too bad they werent flying carpets...
It would appear Trump can.
717 dead and they're all supposed to recieve 70 virgins when they get to heaven.
717 x 70 = 50,190
Fuck off, where the fuck could anyone find that amount of virgins in such a short time?
That's the nail in the coffin for me. Islam, I'm out!
They're now all on the Verizon Virgin Plan where they all share the virgins for just $9.95 a month extra.
But some are protesting having unknowingly signed up for Verizon "Edge" in the process
Maybe that's why they were rushing....err stampeding....to switch their heavenly plans to ATT.
Are there even that many virgins on the entire planet? Im going into the virgin business...
717 dead and they're all supposed to recieve 70 virgins when they get to heaven.
Are they expert virgins??
Definition of a virgin over there? A girl who can run faster than her brothers...
Ouch!
Sounds like life in the Ozarks.
Those dumbfucks should have cleansed their brain instead of their body. Like the Jews ,they were told only clean people allowed to meet god or Allah.
Well, we made it past 9/23. If the Pope doesn't announce the end of the world, then I guess we're good.
Although, nuking DC during a joint session of Congress wouldn't be a bad idea.
The council asked me to deliver on behalf of our Mohammedan Brothers, these Ebola and Anthrax samples for scientific study, to my esteemed Brothers and Sisters of the House of Representatives and Senate.
--You Know Who
(Nukes would ruin many of the Smithsonian exhibits)
Which reminds me of last year's Hajj disaster.

All the danger and more of attending a Who concert and none of the fun! I just don't understand the attraction of this organized lunacy and that goes for ALL religions!
Id walk over you to see the who...
Only 717?
(sigh)
It's still early in the afternoon over there and still a lot of people who think they'll go to heaven by throwing stones at a rock.
Should it have been 666?
But, but, I thought it was such a peaceful religon!
YES and that's why all the other people who don't blindly worship this pedophile MUST DIE!!!
KILL A INFIDELL AND GET 7 GRAPES IN THE AFTERLIFE!!!!
WE'VE GOT WHITE GRAPES AND RED GRAPES!!
What a show!
I think the Jewish/Christian faith has moved on from strapping a bomb to ones self and walking into a crowd of people. After all, you are talking about something that happened over 640 years ago!
Obozo thinks the Crusades happened a few years ago
My magic sky man is better than yours!
Then I guess you don't eat at Chik Fil A?
You obviously don't know nothing about religions. I get so frustrated when I hear the talking heads about the Judaeo-Christian tradition or when they imply that somehow these two religions are related. In fact they are diametrically opposed. Judaism is tribalist, particularist and the Jews have (allegedly) a covenant with THEIR god, Yahveh. In a nut shell JUDAISM MEANS SEPARATION from the rest of mankind. What Jesus did was to free the Jews from this binding and integrate them into humanity. He was the greatest threat to the Jewish leaders of the time, the Pharisees. I don't debate whether he was the son of God or human. It's not relevant (to me, at least).

Where's the bathroom?
Look down
Where's the bathroom?
On the side of the road of course . . .
Imagine if Mecca and Medina were located in the US.
What's that?.............uhh huh............we already have our own Mecca and Medina and they're called Disney World and Disney Land!?
Oh, the humanity.
And Medina, MN.
And Hell, MI . . . .
At least they arent fighting over $4 toasters.
Fuck the Saudi,s
The largest pox on humanity after government, is religion. You’re worried about my right to an abortion? Fucking government and religion have killed more 1,000 times over. Both are nothing more than a means to extract money and any critical thinking skills that one may still have remaining. And don’t tell me Christianity or Catholicism is any better. The only difference between the fucking Muslims and Christianity is the supposed coming of Christ. Their old testament is every bit as barbaric as the Koran is. And Catholics? How many innocent kids have these priests fucked up (literally) over their sanctimonious “abstinence”. If there was a god, he would have cleaned house long ago.
A reasonable, clear thinking individual would acknowledge that there may have been some intervention with a higher being but it surely isn’t one that takes credit for all the good in your life, blame you for all the bad in your life, and then sits on a throne saying “sing fucking praises to me”!
Amen to that!
obviously you come from a ignorant background. how about i highlight some of the differences between islam and christianity for you at least then you might sound half intelligent.
"Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.” Koran 2:191
“Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.” Koran 9:123
“When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.” Koran 9:5
“Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.” Koran 3:85
“The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them.”... Koran 9:30
“Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam” Koran 5:33
“Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.” Koran 22:19
“The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.” Koran 8:65
“Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.” Koran 3:28
“Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.” Koran 8:12
“Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.” Koran 8:60

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16"but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved" Ephesians 2:4-5
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:7-8
"But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." Psalm 86:15
I'm not a religious scholar, but Constantine did some editing and rearranging of the books of the Bible to eliminate most prurient parts of the teachings that were going around at the time.
The Dead Sea scrolls will provide some quality control.
Learn how to read before you comment. Almost every quote of yours is from the New Testament. I said the OLD TESTAMENT was as barbaric. The old testament is still taught in most parochials although the tend to skip over the the inconvenient passages of barbarism.
And by the way, all this from a god who had a chosen people, and no one else qualified to go to heaven. When the "chosen" rejected Christ, suddenly everyone is now eligible for haeven.
What a religious sheeple shmoe you are.
I really feel sorry for you.
LOL!
The self is eternal so what's the problem?
Where is a B-52H loaded out with napalm when you need it?
One instance where more is better.
Running of the Bulls or the Haj?
At least at the bulls they EXPECT you to drink.
Only a billion more muslims to go. Fuck islam, the copycat religion. Look it up.
Crusader Assassins were behind both this and crane collapse! Aloha Ak Bar!
Wish this'd happen far more often, say 20,000 times each and every day until no muzzies were left to plague the rest of us.
I suggest they all go down a cliff. Good riddance.
Sheep Bitchez.
Not cool. Please stop with the Muslim hating. Most of these people are poor devout Muslims from all over the world, Whatever you may think if their religion, this is a tragedy.
The ONLY tragedy here is that MORE muzzied did not die.
The chocie of "tragedy" struck me as very odd. A bunch of savages kill themselves...and for a change don't murder any civilized humans in the process. Sounds like a win-win to me.
Yeah, that religion of piece(s) sure is worthy of my love. Let's see, what to love first. . . The slavery, the subjugation of women, the ability to 'lawfully' kill your enemy for legit charges like sorcery and apostasy, the command to murder and lie to 'infidels'. There is so much wonderful stuff in Islam to love!
"... There is so much wonderful stuff in Islam to love!"
Of which you know certainly NOTHING"
like having sex with goats!!!
oooooh muhhamMAD the pedophile, the merciful
Of course the clitoral circumcisions are all the rage.
I just don't understand why all the Western women aren't running to their plastic surgeons to have it done.
Fuck you and your fucking copy cat religion. Beware of the false prophet. Mohamed is a false prophet and you're a fool. The guy slept with children. Any religion that involves sex or sexual preversions is NOT a religion. Multiple wives, young girls, etc. Heck, most of the Afghans are fucking homo pedophiles. Look it up.
The Christian backlash is going to be a motherfucker for you sick fucks. Blow up another building a see what happens. Fuck you and your cult.
Your remarks would be more convincing if they didn't include a carpet F-word bombing.
You know what? No. When was the last time you saw a Lutheran saw somebody's head off? When was the last time a Mennonite detonated a car bomb in a crowd of innocent bystanders? do you see Southern Baptists advocate child marriage and pedophilia? Pretty sure that Presbyterians don't have lying as a central tenant when communicating with other faiths.
The only version of Christianity that I find repulsive (only because it shares some of the same sorts of behavior) is Catholicism. I don't care if both were wiped off the face of the earth. The world would be a better place for it.
Poor devout Muslims. That's funny. Muslims hate all who are not Muslim.
Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult.
In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.
Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.
When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.
Here’s how it works:
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the > case in:
United States — Muslim 0..6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. In Russia, grade-schools were attacked. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, beheadings, stoning, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
Is this the future of the United States?
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. – Sura 2:98
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. – 2:191
Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God’s entirely. – Sura 2:193 and 8:39
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. – 2:216
(different translation: ) Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.
….. martyrs…. Enter heaven – Surah 3:140-43
If you should die or be killed in the cause of Allah, His mercy and forgiveness would surely be better than all they riches they amass. If you should die or be killed, before Him you shall all be gathered. – 3:157-8
You must not think that those who were slain in the cause of Allah are dead. They are alive, and well-provided for by their Lord. – Surah 3:169-71
Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the cause of God, whether he is slain or victorious, soon we shall give him a great reward. – Surah 4:74
Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil. – 4:76
But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them. – 4:89
Therefore, we stirred among them enmity and hatred, which shall endure till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will declare to them all that they have done. – 5:14
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. – 5:54
Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme – 8:39
O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there are 20 steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish 200; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding. – 8:65
This is why we do no look happily at their faith and feel empathy.
Miffed
Impossible to argue against unless one is using Taqiyya, the permitted form of Muslim lying to accomplish ones purpose, there is no corollary in Christianity.
Muslims hate all who are not Muslim.
That has not been my experience.
Considering monotheism as agreed by christian, rabbi, imam, worshipping the same God, I have trouble understanding the bias.
How can anyone condemn halal given what industrial farming has done to taint the food supply here?
Violence in the Quran... more or less than the Bible?
The freedom of our choice is soon to be removed, that is the elephant in the room.
They do not engage in usary, unlike "our" system. So yes, Sharia is a way of life.
Perhaps one would need to experience a grief so profound as to be paralytic in nature to understand my POV. It was a family of those savages that brought me food daily when I was unable to get up off the floor.
Overgeneralization Miffed. Divisive. Distorts your humanity.
"Paris car burnings?" They carried out 911 & Hebdo too.
Miffed Micro: "Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult.
In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life."
____________________________________________________________
A "complete, total, 100% authoritarian system of life" would be even more accurate.
too damn many muslims in this world
i like the ppl but hate the religion.
Damn, MM, you make them sound almost as rapacious as the Nguyen family!
... but I must admit, the second picture from the top looks for all the world like a petri dish with an escaped slime mold -- with all the little white fruiting bodies standing on every square millimenter.
Following are your quotes, when read in context of the real message:
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. – Sura 2:98
"Who is an enemy to Allah, and His angels and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael! Then, lo! Allah (Himself) is an enemy to the disbelievers. (98) Verily We have revealed unto thee clear tokens, and only miscreants will disbelieve in them. (99) Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it aside? The truth is, most of them believe not. (100) And when there cometh unto them a messenger from Allah, confirming that which they possess, a party of those who have received the Scripture fling the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they knew not, (101)"
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161
"(158) Lo! Those who hide the proofs and the guidance which We revealed, after We had made it clear in the Scripture: such are accursed of Allah and accursed of those who have the power to curse. (159) Except such of them -as repent and amend and make manifest (the truth). These it is toward whom I relent. I am the Relenting, the Merciful. (160) Lo! Those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers; on them is the curse of Allah and of angels and of men combined. (161) They ever dwell therein. The doom will not be lightened for them, neither will they be reprieved. (162) Your God is One God; there is no God save Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful."
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. – 2:191
"Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors. (190)And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers. (191)But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (192) And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers. (193)"
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. – 2:216
"(214) They ask thee, (O Muhammad), what they shall spend. Say: that which ye spend for good (must go) to parents and near kindred and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer. And whatsoever good ye do, lo! Allah is Aware of it. (215) Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not. (216)They question thee (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression), but to turn (men) from the way of Allah, and to disbelieve in Him and in the Inviolable Place of Worship, and to expel His people thence, is a greater with Allah; for persecution is worse than killing. And they will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you renegades from your religion, if they can. And whoso becometh a renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the Hereafter. Such are rightful owners of the Fire: they will abide therein. (217) Lo! those who believe, and those who emigrate (to escape the persecution) and strive in the way of Allah, these have hope of Allah's mercy. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (218)They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations, that haply ye may reflect. (219) Upon the world and the Hereafter. And they question thee concerning orphans. Say: To improve their lot is best. And if ye mingle your affairs with theirs, then (they are) your brothers. Allah knoweth him who spoileth from him who improveth. Had Allah willed He could have overburdened you. Allah is Mighty, Wise. (220)"
Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil. – 4:76
"(73) Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward. (74) How should ye not fight for the cause of Allah and of the feeble among men and of the women and the children who are crying: Our Lord! Bring us forth from out this town of which the people are oppressors! Oh, give us from thy presence some protecting friend! Oh, give us from Thy presence some defender! (75) Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil's strategy is ever weak."
But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them. – 4:89
"e are greeted with a greeting, greet ye with a better than it or return it. Lo! Allah taketh count of all things. (86) Allah! There is no God save Him. He gathereth you all unto a Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. Who is more true in statement than Allah? (87) What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him thou (O MUhammad) canst not find a road. (88)They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them, (89) Except those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a covenant, or (those who) come unto you because their hearts forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah willed He could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would have fought you. So, if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, Allah alloweth you no way against them. (90) Ye will find others who desire that they should have security from you, and security from their own folk. So often as they are returned to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant."
Therefore, we stirred among them enmity and hatred, which shall endure till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will declare to them all that they have done. – 5:14
"(11) Allah made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel and We raised among them twelve Chieftains, and Allah said: Lo! I am with you. If ye establish worship and pay the poor-due, and believe in My messengers and support them, and lend unto Allah a kindly loan, surely I shall remit your sins, and surely I shall bring you into gardens underneath which rivers flow. Whoso among you disbelieveth after this will go astray from a plain road. (12) And because of their breaking their covenant, We have cursed them and made hard their hearts. They change words from their context and forget a part of that whereof they were admonished. Thou wilt not cease to discover treachery from all save a few of them. But bear with them and pardon them. Lo! Allah loveth the kindly. (13) And with those who say: "Lo! we are Christians," We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. Therefor We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork. (14) O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which ye used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now hath come unto you light from Allah and plain Scripture, (15) Whereby Allah guideth him who seeketh His good pleasure unto paths of peace. He bringeth them out of darkness unto light by His decree, and guideth them unto a straight path. (16) They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah, if He had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He createth what He will. And Allah is Able to do all things. (17) The Jews and Christians say: We are sons of Allah and His loved ones. Say: Why then doth He chastise you for your sins? Nay, ye are but mortals of His creating. He forgiveth whom He will, and chastiseth whom He will. Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and unto Him is the journeying. (18) O People of the Scripture! Now hath Our messenger come unto you to make things plain unto you after an interval (of cessation) of the messengers, lest ye should say: There came not unto us a messenger of cheer nor any warner. Now hath a messenger of cheer and a warner come unto you. Allah is Able to do all things."
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. – 5:54
"be only Allah; and His messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poordue, and bow down (in prayer). (55) And whoso taketh Allah and His messenger and those who believe for friend (will know that), lo! the party of Allah, they are the victorious. (56) O Ye who believe! Choose not for friend such of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers. (57)And when ye call to prayer they take it for a jest and sport. That is because they are a folk who understand not. (58) Say: O People of the Scripture! Do ye blame us for aught else than that we believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed aforetime, and because most of you are evil-livers? (59) Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah? Worse (is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen ! Worese is he of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road. (60) When they come unto you (Muslims), they say: We believe; but they came in unbelief and they went out in the same; and Allah knoweth best what they were hiding. (61) And thou seest many of them vying one with another in sin and transgression and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what they do. (62) Why do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their evil-speaking and their devouring of illicit gain? Verily evil is their handiwork."
Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme – 8:39
"trusts. (27) And know that your possessions and your children are a test, and that with Allah is immense reward. (28) O ye who believe! If ye keep your duty to Allah, He will give you discrimination (between right and wrong) and will rid you of your evil thoughts and deeds, and will forgive you. Allah is of Infinite bounty. (29) And when those who disbelieve plot against thee (O Muhammad) to wound thee fatally, or to kill thee or to drive thee forth; they plot, but Allah (also) plotteth; and Allah is the best of plotters. (30) And when Our revelations are recited unto them they say: We have heard. If we wish we can speak the like of this. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old. (31) And when they said: O Allah! If this be indeed the truth from Thee, then rain down stones on us or bring on us some painful doom! (32) But Allah would not punish them while thou wast with them, nor will He punish them while they seek forgiveness. (33) What (plea) have they that Allah should not punish them, when they debar (His servants) from the Inviolable Place of Worship, though they are not its fitting guardians. Its fitting guardians are those only who keep their duty to Allah. But most of them know not. (34) And their worship at the (holy) House is naught but whistling and hand-clapping. Therefore (it is said unto them): Taste of the doom because ye disbelieve. (35) Lo! those who disbelieve spend their wealth in order that they may debar (men) from the way of Allah. They will spend it, then it will become an anguish for them, then they will be conquered. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto hell, (36) That Allah may separate the wicked from the good, The wicked will He place piece upon piece, and heap them all together, and consign them unto hell. Such verily are the losers. (37) Tell those who disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution of believers) that which is past will be forgiven them; but if they return (thereto) then the example of the men of old hath already gone (before them, for a warning). (38) And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do. (39) And if they turn away, then know that Allah is your Befriender - a transcendent Patron, a transcendent Helper! (40)And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination, the day when the two armies met. And Allah is Able to do all things."
O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there are 20 steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish 200; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding. – 8:65
"s for that which your own hands have sent before (to the Judgment), and (know) that Allah is not a tyrant to His slaves. (51) (Their way is) as the way of Pharaoh's folk and those before them; they disbelieved the revelations of Allah, and Allah took them in their sins. Lo! Allah is Strong, severe in punishment. (52) That is because Allah never changeth the grace He hath bestowed on any people until they first change that which is in their hearts, and (that is) because Allah is Hearer, Knower. (53) (Their way is) as the way of Pharaoh's folk and those before them; they denied the revelations of their Lord, so We destroyed them in their sins. And We drowned the folk of Pharaoh. All were evil-doers. (54)Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the ungrateful who will not believe. (55) Those of them with whom thou madest a treaty, and then at every opportunity they break their treaty, and they keep not duty (to Allah). (56) If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember. (57) And if thou fearest treachery from any folk, then throw back to them (their treaty) fairly. Lo! Allah loveth not the treacherous. (58) And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. (59) Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom ye know not. Allah knoweth them. Whatsoever ye spend in the way of Allah it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged. (60) And if they incline to peace, incline thou also to it, and trust in Allah. Lo! He, is the Hearer, the Knower. (61) And if they would deceive thee, then lo! Allah is Sufficient for thee. He it is Who supporteth thee with His help and with the believers, (62) And (as for the believers) hath attuned their hearts. If thou hadst spent all that is in the earth thou couldst not have attuned their hearts, but Allah hath attuned them. Lo! He is Mighty, Wise. (63) O Prophet! Allah is Sufficient for thee and those who follow thee of the believers. (64) O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred steadfast they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence. (65) Now hath Allah lightened your burden, for He knoweth that there is weakness in you. So if there be of you a steadfast hundred they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a thousand (steadfast) they shall overcome two thousand by permission of Allah. Allah is with the steadfast."
I have tried above to present the above quotes in the light of the complete context of these revelations...Now it is upto the reader to judge.
Where's a nuclear false flag when you really need one?
The crowd heard the band start playing "Baba O'Riley" inside Mecca and then a stampede ensued.
From the locust swarm shown in the photo, the upcoming jihadi season should be bountiful. Prolly no limit on how many tags one can purchase @ the wildlife office. Good hunting!
I have kicked over several anthills in my youth, never saw a pile of ants trampled to death. I have set and watched thousands of bees fly in and out of my hives without a single mid-air collision. I have seen on tv flocks of birds and schools of fish that block out the light, move without wrecks. Dumb animals.
Bats they are not.
What morons yet hey, that's the supposed "evolved" human species at work.
I also like some of the comments here by people who probably have no clue that the allah in islam is the exact same god as in judaism and thus christianity. I get a kick out of when jews and christians try and mock muslims for that and have no clue they're mocking people who believe in the same diety they do. It's fitting though for religious folk.
Jews, Christians and Muslims...the Larry, Curly and Moe of Abrahamic religion.
Of course, Larry, Curly and Moe were Jewish. :)
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
You mean Semite as in DNA ethnicity.
Jewish is a religion masquerading as an ethnicity.
Yup. But don't expect the Jesus-humpers to wake up to the fact that from a heaven's eye view, they're every bit as backwards, bigoted, and stupid as the Muslims they decry. Brainwashing works. It works early and it works often. And if you somehow manage to dodge the brainwashing of socialism, militarism, cop-sucking, or MTV materialism, you're almost guaranteed to fall for the brainwashing of the NWO Sol Invictus cult that hijacked Jesus' teachings before his body even cooled down.
Absolutely, positively NOT the same god.
Duplicate.
Only good muzzie is a dead one
"And like on many previous occasions, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca once again led to a tragic loss of life in what may be the deadliest stampede in pilgiramge history when at least 717 people died and another 805 were injured."
717 dead, and 805 injured in what MAY be the deadliest stampede in pilgrimage history...
Jesus. Those numbers are so close to the norm that they aren't even SURE...
And this is the 'big day', the once-in-a-lifetime religiously required trip all Muslims must make. The modern, up to date Muslim has got to be wondering why this hadj can't be done online, like a video game..."Make it past the stampede! Track all your best scores from past hadj's!"
I also imagine many Muslims must pause to consider the hosts of this annual event and think, "Saudi Arabia? Seriously?"
stupid fascist animals turn into plants
muslims like to howl at their semitic fusioned moon god grant them their wish and send them all to the moon
oh jesus h christ. dont call theocratic fanatics "fascists". it would be like calling bolsheviks "nazis". they are both to be loathed, for sure. but are two separate things. words have meanings fucktard
Sound like karma to me!!
I pray someone, anyone, with a nuke gets an itchy trigger finger and sends one into that town.
"Despite the cries of the young boys, Bath House Barry ordered American soldiers not to report the child rapes.
"Hey, I Fuck little boys every Thursday night in the White Mosque. Tell tem to chill out. Besides, I have the Popester Cumming here and need to get some extra kids."
Lucifer: This is going along as planned, hahaha.
Bunch of sister fuckers. I have zero pity as I am inconsiderate and a jerk. I am not evolved.
Don't let the cranes fall on you.
Achmed: We should do this dangerous construction during the Haj.
Mohammed: Yes, Allah will protect us.
Allah: Use some common sense, assholios.
I am in the ME right now, in the Hashemite Kingdom.
This place is loaded with Mercs.
But, Vlad has taken over.

Nice religion eh
What Islam or any religion has to do with an accident...for Gods sake!!!
Islam is a Theocracy Manifesto .... not a religion !
Humans are defective.
How many Muslims fit in a VW bug?
717
I'll have a Coke.
Idiots.
A predominate number of these deaths are related to the "stoning ritual". Maybe God is sending the Muslims a message about their barbaric practices . . . .
They should have Mecca all year round.
The irony cannot be lost given the fact that at this pilgrimage they throw stones at 3 pillars to symbolize stoning the Devil when in fact the Devil is the very entity they call Allah.
Religions are just like political parties. Full of mouth-breathing partisan morons who don't understand a fucking thing about statesmanship, or God, respectively.
Where do they all go pee?
never noticed why the sand is yellow?
Sandbox Arabia !
I mean like, we're talking millions of gallons of pee there. And the poop? OMG! TONS!
There is only one drinking fountain .... it's inside that cube .... curiously, that cube has the same volume .... roughly .... as all the above ground, mined gold .... LOL ?
Avoid mobs.
"February 11: 14 faithful, including six women, die on the first day of the stoning ritual." - Honarary callout for the 6 women?
"February 11: 14 faithful, including six women, die on the first day of the stoning ritual." - Honarary callout for the 6 women?
Women and Niggers .... hit hardest .... the payback for 9/11 keeps getting better .... much more to come !
And I should be sad about 717 fewer pedophile worshippers, why?
"which already may have found a scapegoat: according to Al Jazeera, the head of Central Hajj Committee Prince Khaled al-Faisal blamed the stampede on "some pilgrims from African nationalities."
Like a certain Kenyan?
Ewik, they blamed it on Africans.. Tell them there is no difference, quick...
Look at the map with the fat red flow lines (arrows) .... these are brainstem washed Afrikans, mostly .... you can't tell from eye in the sky .... for the white robes !
"Stoning the devil" pilgrimage.
There's a pretty good fucking joke hidden in there, I just know it.
WHY do they call these retards MARTYRS... martyrs are killed by enemies of a faith. these fucktards practically are suicides by stupidity.
"Of course, it had nothing to do with the organizers repeating the same mistakes over and over and never actually learning."
Total casualties in a decade are less than 2500...keeping in mind there are app. 4.5 million worshipers...whereas in only 2013...road accident deaths in USA are more than 32700 in just 01 year...if we take the record from 1899 till 2013...total casualties are more than 3.5 million....
Can we simply blame the organizers for that...i know cause have been there many times...
Latina Lover .... is that you .... EVERY story is ..... USA ! USA ! USA!
I'm off to Mecca with 100,000 "I Survived Hajj" t-shirts - Einstein was right, "Human stupidity is Infinite...."
Latina Lover .... the Saudi royals make money on the poor niggers .... otherwise, they are not allowed in the country !
silly me I thought they were sheep from the arial view.
Stampede injuries are often fatal .... wait for the numbers to rise .... a real challenge for the Red Crescent orthopaedic surgeons .... especially when they are treating poor people !
Nuke The Middle East
You're advocating killing hundreds of millions of Middle-Eaterners because you're upset when 717 die in an accident? How does that work?
who says he is upset he would just like to see one billion more die....
Buy Volkswagen stock now !
How upseting.
Wait until the Comex doesn't deliver .... that will be the Mother of all Stampedes ? LOL Me happy !
...When the FSA kills itself:

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
-- Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).
It will be a great day for all humanity when organized religion as a whole goes way of the Dodo...
