At least 717 Muslims were killed and hundreds of others injured in a stampede near Mecca Thursday on the last day of the hajj pilgrimage festival of Eid al-Adha.
At least 40 of the dead are from Iran. Israel said it is not aware of any casualties of its Arab Muslim citizens.
Two million Muslims are in the Mecca area, and today’s stampede occurred in a tent city in the city of Mina, outside of Mecca.
Saudi authorities had taken measures to prevent a repeat of a similar stampeded in 2006, when 346 people were killed. The kingdom spent $1 billion to build a five-story structure to enable 300,000 pilgrims an hour to perform the stone-throwing ritual.
The ceremony is one of several Islam’s perversions of the Torah. Islamic tradition teaches that Avraham tried to stone the devil at three different locations, including Mina, while trying to convince God that he should not sacrifice his son Ishmael.
The Bible, of course, records that the entire episode concerning the near-sacrifice of Avraham’s son refers to Yitzchak (Isaac), who was the next generation as the forefather of the Jewish people destined to inherit the Land of Israel.
There is no Biblical reference to throwing rocks at the devil or anyone else except for those convicted for sins.
However, rock-throwing among Muslims is popular in Israel, apparently as a continuation of the custom of the hajj where stones are thrown at the devil, known to them today as Jews.
Payback time for throwing stones at Jews, I mean rocks!
Why only 453?!
very strange !
i am sorry.
Now i understand stone throwing is in their blood,lol
Surely the Muslims see the real Hashemite telling them something. Even the crane incident was a warning
Good!
Animals stampede.
They were casting out the "devils," and I'm not referring to Jewish devils such as yourself. This is the analogous ritual to Kapporot, except in this case, Muslims rather than chickens were killed. Both practices are incredibly stupid and demean both Judaism and Islam. But to compare this with throwing rocks at Jews is equally idiotic.
You're a certified rectal orifice, Tzvi.
its a start
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE US MORE DEAD MUSLIM SAVAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not enough died – should have been thousands or tens of thousands. perchance to dream?
Long may this continue
They are Hashem’s children just as we are. A parent hurts when harm befalls a child. So, too, Hashem suffers when any of His children are hurt. True, we don’t like their dastardly actions but we learn from the Torah to treat our enemies like we treat our friends. Never wish harm to anyone. Instead just pray that all human beings embrace personal and global peace.
What they doing to others, returning back to them with interest…
in a unicorn land – okay, I’ll buy into that. So let’s quote Ecclesiastes: A time for war. Let’s go for Psalm 137: the last parts: Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom
The day of Jerusalem;
Who said: ‘Rase it, rase it,
Even to the foundation thereof.’
O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed;
Happy shall he be, that repayeth thee
As thou hast served us.
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones
Against the rock.
so, Doris, when would you pick up a gun?
Those who live by the stone, die by the stone.
Some people are not human they just have face like human. You are one of them.
Ohh it is not your fault. I just saw your profile. I must have expected such comment from people of your country.
Shame!
A subhuman species that thrives on uncivilized behavior.
God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob declared that they (Ishmael’ descendants would be a wild donkey or ass, his hand against all Gen. 16:12
GOOD
Not at the stone throwing but on the road hokay
First the crane falls on the temple, now this. Seems to me like they need to start looking at the signs.
is that all?
The stones are throwing back.
Don’t mess with Israel , God’s people .
I wonder if Obama’s body guards would take a stone for their president.
I’m glad I shoot better than you spell you freaking goat raping murderous pagan!!!! MOST of us are NOT fooled by your cult, your fake “god,” or your QUEERANN!
YOU !!!!!
They have a stone thowing ceremony? That explains somethings LOL
May Allah forgive you all…if you expect the exact narration of life in the bible then you'll wait till you die…christianity is a cooked up religion with no authentic sources, trust me i was once a christian….lol Jews are so insecure, the ritual isnt mocking you guys…so saad may all be guided to the straight path
717 less fanatical Islamic terrorists.
Maybe I am not a good Jew, but I was never taught anything about the devil, except what is mentioned by Christians in American society.
Christianity is not dependent on textual sources but on tradition and praxis.
The IDF did not kill this many in the last two years. Perhaps, Israel tourism agencies should encourage their Arab neighbors to have several "haj's" per year. The next time the Arabs gather in large numbers have an F16 fly over and drop a pig in the middle of the crowd.
Why don't you go join the rest of your fanatic terrorist brethren in meeting the Moon god Allah or do you want to wait for us to send you express?
What type of animals were they!!!???
It is sad when an entire culture gets so deluded that they resort to killing each other. And these are the people with whom we make treaties concerning our safety and well being.
