Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 apparently the stampede was caused due to a half price sale at the catapult store, the shop owner is said to be furious as he has now been lumbered with even more fuckin black widows!!! 78544[/snapback] Top drawer, already alienated myself at work by telling them that one!

They don't descriminate on grounds of race though, but the sexism is obvious. No, it's hardly a tolerant religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 But many Muslims (particularly those of a fundamentalist viewpoint) see Jews as the enemy, which rather proves my point regarding how they interpret Islam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There does seem to be more fundamental muslims though than other faiths, but that could be me being swayed by a biased media I suppose. Anyway, bollocks to the lot of them.

I do realise that, historically at least, the Islamic Empire that spanned lots of Europe in Medieval times was gernally very tolerant of other faiths.

Gemmill 43881 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 It happens every year. At least they now through stones at a wall rather than a pillar. 10 people died last year because of wayward throws. probably shouldnt allow lasses to join in with that like 78296[/snapback] Have you ever seen a girl throw something far enough to injure someone, let alone kill? 78310[/snapback] I was the best spin bowler my school ever had I will let you know.... I could knock a gnats gonad off with one eye shut !!! 78317[/snapback] Aye but you discovered this accidentally whilst trying to do your "hardest throw".

Renton 20962 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Recent history of the Hajj (from the BBC). FFS. 2004: 251 pilgrims are trampled to death in a 27-minute stampede during the stoning ritual in Mina. Saudi officials said many of the victims had not been authorised to participate in the ceremony, after new procedures were introduced following previous stampedes. 2003: 14 people are crushed to death when pilgrims returning from the stoning ritual run into pilgrims coming the other way. 2001: 35 pilgrims are killed when a huge crowd surges towards one of the three giant pillars representing the devil. 1998: 118 pilgrims are trampled to death after panic erupts when several people fall off an overpass during the stoning. 1997: At least 340 pilgrims are killed and 1,500 injured when fire fuelled by high winds sweeps through a tent city in Mina. 1994: 270 pilgrims die in a stampede during the stoning ritual. 1990: 1,426 pilgrims, mainly Asian, die in a stampede in an overcrowded tunnel leading to holy sites. 1987: 402 people, including 275 Iranians (according to Saudi figures), die when security forces break up an anti-US demonstration by Iranian pilgrims.
