#8  Christ taught us about stoning two thousand years ago. But muslims believe themselves to be without sin.

#7  The Hajj isn't even an islamic ritual. Just another item Muhamhead plagiarized to please the moon god.

Happy smooth stoning kaaba sand people!

#5  "The pilgrims performed with relative ease the most potentially dangerous Haj ritual: the symbolic stoning of the devil."

Wonder if any scouts from the Saudi professional Baseball team were in the audience?

#2  "Helicopters hovered constantly overhead to monitor the huge crowds; they were assisted by hundreds of high-tech cameras, all connected to a control room run by security authorities."

Too bad they outsourced the helicopter maintenance to some non-Arabs - it would have been interesting to see Al-Jazeera show disintegrating rotor bits tearing into the crowd like shrapnel.

#1  I wonder if stoning helpless women somehow brings muslims closer to God in the way stoning that big holy idol rock of theirs does.
