Hajj Death Toll Watch! Part 1

It's Hajj season, folks, that magical time of the year for all Muslims when they trample, stampede, and crush each other to death to rush back to Mecca and get as close to the Kaaba as they can. And every year, there's death....lots of it. Because Allah certainly takes care of his own.

A few days ago, a hotel collapsed (which naturally was full of pilgrims).

Today, we have a stampede.

I guess there must be some truth to that old saying that those on mass Hajjes shouldn’t throw stones.

The true test of faith isn't believing god when he makes bad things happen to good people, it's believing in god whether or not he exists...besides, those 72 virgins aren't gonna deflower themselves...

I like the mass Hajjes from the ladies at the parlor down the street...
