    Oh man that's awful stuff. From the looks of the pictures the death toll may well rise.

    Seeing it on the news now....poor people, going on pilgrimage and this happens to them.
    There will be plenty of families waiting for news of their relations for the next few hours.

    Allah must be displeased if he allowed this to happen.

    Not cool man, people have lost their lives performing a pious pilgrimage based on their belief system.

    You do yourself a disservice mocking a tragic act such as this, regardless of your opinions on Islam.

    Allah is running the entire universe. He can't be micro managing every work place accident and construction site health and safety. Some sh1t is delegated Alexis.

    How is an accident at a mosque on the same date as planes crashing into buildings in America a coincidence?

    Regardless of what you think of the Muslim religion this is an absolute tragedy. RIP to those lost.

    because most of the 19 were saudis
    Bin Laden was saudi
    A huge amount of Islamic charity money that went to Al Qaeda was saudi cash.
    Muslims....here , muslims there and muslims on 9/11...muslims.

    what more do you want?

    Not necessarily conspiracy theorist simply to comment that it's a coincidence - it is.

    Not sure what could be ambiguous about reporting on a thing that actually happened.

    Well plenty of people seem to think the various gods will take time out to help them in there own personal situations (need to win boxing/football matches etc) so keeping an eye on a crane hovering over a large group of your followers there for no other reason that to say how great you are in a place built specifically for the purpose shouldnt be a lot to ask for.

    It'd almost make you question your faith......

    If nothing was happening to any muslims on any other days of the year then maybe.

    Some of the replies on this thread already are shocking.

    Human life has been lost in a tragedy, what difference does their religious affiliation make?

    Not everyone has the same values as you.
    A devout muslim might place a lower priority on boxing/football matches, long life and material considerations than what you yourself might.

    Cheap shot and no comparison. That's like branding all Catholics for IRA murders. This was a tragic accident.

    Personally speaking its any religious affiliation , not specifically muslim. If all these gods are so great, why do they let their most devout followers die in all the various goings on around the world? Surely they should be taking out us non believers ? Which takes me back to the possibility they dont exist.......

    And so, this is not a tragic loss of life due to an accident? They had a faith, any faith, so tough? Is that it?

    Why were they using a crane when they had perfectly good flying carpets?
