150 Pilgrims killed in Hajj stampede

No fewer than 150 pilgrims were killed today September 24th in a stampede at the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. According to reports, 400 other pilgrims were injured in the stampede which happened in Mina, on the outskirts of the holy city of Mecca.


It is believed that the death toll will rise as most of those injured are said to be in critical condition. This sad incident comes weeks after a crane accident left over 100 people dead in a mosque in Mecca.

Mecca: looking more like a slaughter ground than a place of prayer since 19gburudum!

But that's non of my business.

The demonic harvest of souls continues in Mecca.. It is only satan that will use fear to make people worship him and the fear that Moslems are under is demonic. The greatest sin according to the Quran is to doubt islam religion and to doubt that Muhammed is Allah's prophet. This sin is punishable by death. Now I ask which kind god is Allah that he will deny people using their God given free will and freedom to choose ? That will deny people even the right to question what they believe and why they believe what they believe? That is why the messengers of Allah blow themselves up for Allah because they believe the Quran without questioning its teachings. And every year their god harvests souls because that is what the devil wants - souls of men to burn. May God deliver them.
