11/27/2016 5:20:36 PM Posted: 1 year ago It's old news I know.
So let's bring it up. A quick recap. 24th Sep 2015 At least 717 people have been crushed to death, and hundreds of others hurt in a stampede of pilgrims in one of the worst incidents in years to hit the Muslim Hajj in Saudi Arabia. The pilgrims " gather " to cast stones at three pillars, to symbolize Satan . And as we all know . When you chuck your rocks at the pillars. Front and center is the place to be. The rush for this prime position crushed hundreds to death. Most unfortunate. I can see this happening at a concert or a sporting event it's understandable. But not doing a normal act in life like, Throwing rocks at pillars/wall to symbolize the stoning of Satan. Really to be fair , it's only common sense that They have to organize a way to do this , as so everyone gets a real good spot to chuck their rock from. You can see where I'm going with this hey ? No need for a comment, it's just in case you forgot about it. Sorry about the bad spelling. Good game Good game |

11/27/2016 5:46:36 PM Posted: 1 year ago I think we humans should study our own mob mentality and behavior more carefully. Because I think there are some aspects to this phenomena that transfer to other very destructive social behaviors that seem to occur only when humans are acting en masse.

11/27/2016 6:07:56 PM Posted: 1 year ago I can't see why this is in the religion forum. Stampedes are a problem wherever there are crowds.
https://en.wikipedia.org... One of the problems with religion is that it makes it hard to do what is rational - but that's nothing new. I'm sure the Saudis do what they can to prevent such problems. but the sheer numbers and logistics make more of the same a certainty. |

11/27/2016 6:09:36 PM Posted: 1 year ago God would not of been impressed at all watching this chaos unfolding .
I hope he can forgive. I'm not sure if muslums are even allowed to be crushed to death. But I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be considered a sin. |

Hajj has been going on for more than 1400 years, but only since Saudi Regime has taken control of that country, we're seeing these incidents. and actually, that was the second major accident that year for Hajj pilgrims, after a construction crane collapsed on September 11 at Mecca's Grand Mosque, Islam's holiest site, killing 109 people, including many foreigners. a crane collapsed on 9/11 (holy numbers for Freemasons), now, isn't that something? |

"The huge numbers posted these days are a relatively recent phenomena. Only 50,000 people did the Hajj in 1950. About 300,000 did it in 1965; and 400,000 did it in 1975. In the 2000s, between 2 million and 2.5 million pilgrims from up to 160 nations have taken part each year. There were 1.8 million including 1.3 million foreigners in 2001; 2.04 million in 2003; and around 2 million in 2004 . A record 2.56 million, including 1.53 million foreigners, did the Hajj in 2005." The increasing availabiity of cheap air travel is probably the biggest factor. |
