Graphic photos from Mecca stampede

Over 700 people died today in Hajj stampede in Mecca. Thousands were walking to the 'stoning of the devil' ritual when a sudden surge in the crowd caused many to fall. What caused the surge is not known. It's the worse since 1990. AFP just released some gruesome photos from the incident. More when you continue...

OMG!!!! This is a colossal tragedy,not only to the Islam community but to humanity. Regardless of who they believe in,where they come from,I believe no one should have to die like this.I pray that Allah grant them Aljannah Firdausi as they believed he would.

Sad, stampede is a terrible thing to witness or experience, after I experienced the one that happened during the NIS recruitment exercise at abuja I shiver whenever I hear of it. May the souls of the departed rest in peace, amen.

A sudden surge no one knows the cause, really? Do I need extra sensory powers to know that? Islam is a religion of blood-devil worship. Some, very deep in it don't hide it. They want you to know anyhow, cos it doesn't change a thing. Mark my words, come next year, people will die at that same place.

.you'd only meet this kind of crowd in mecca no matter where else you go"quote me"..so this isn't about mecca being "evil"...it's about them looking for measures to control the crowd...to avoid all these...for example...the NIS recruitment exercise in Abuja..if there were more people...a lot more would have died...pls..lets stop being biased and actually understand the situation...

So many questions have to the asked here
Firstly by what authority are they attempting to confront the devil? Have these pilgrimages been properly prepared for such a spiritual exercise and can they be said to be aware that such a confrontation is not symbolic but actual and that the devil may cease such moments to retaliate
Secondly the Saudi authorities and the organisers of this pilgrimage do this every year for centuries in fact. So they must know to keep the number of participants minimal and reasonable for the safety level required. Why then did this not happen? How does want convince skeptics that the accident was not negligent or worse delibrate for spiritual reasons
Why should the organisers of this annual pilgrimages be allowed to go on organising the event given that there are no adequate safety standards and accountability on the part of the organisers and the Saudi authorities.

These questions demand answers

Jesus Christ of Nazareth. With no offense intended, this hajj thing seem more like a curse not a blessing. Year in, year out must people die in the of hajj. This is just too much, just within a month? My heart bleeds. May the souls of the dead rest in peace.

"Ä°slam began as something strange and revert to being as strange as it began" This is the best reply for people whose hearts have been closed off from understanding the beautiful religion of ISLAM. What happened to to the pilgrims that died is a tragedy for us here on earth but a blessing for them.

Religion: the unanswered question of life itself. The quest to find essence of life....... deep and confusing. Look beyond ur visual angle!

I can NEVER worship an Allah that lacks the capacity to protect and preserve my life while I am about to stone the devil in his presence.

Stoning the devil? There is no such rubbish. Serves them right. They worshipping a non existing God in error and terrorizing everyone who is not one of their sect.

Unknown said...

Rip to the dead. But seriously, must they go to mecca and throw stones before prayers get answered? They increase and grow that country's economy by their patronage, I understand how important it is going to seek God's face in a place termed 'HOLY' but this is fast getting out of place. May God give us wisdom to understand his ways and mysteries.

People died. Commiserate or shut up. Don't "good" Christians or other "religious" people die in accidents or stampedes? Everyone's time and place is known only to God ... Must you always spread hate messages. Why can you not live and let others live too? Respect other people's choices and allow each carry his cross, biko.
