Dear master Light,

I don't want to be forgiven for that -

Muslims are imbeciles -

throwing stones at a wall.

I've got an idea for a business -

I'll charge Muslims $5 to throw some stones at a wall.

A better deal than flying to Saudi Arabia!

many blessings

and so be it, we continue ..

What Is The Kaaba? Black Cube Marking Islam's Most Sacred Site Sparks Curiosity

By Amethyst Tate @ammiet1 a.tate@ibtimes.com on October 03 2014 2:10 PM EDT

Muslim pilgrims pray around the holy Kaaba at the Grand Mosque in Mecca Sept. 30, 2014. Reuters
Every year millions of Muslims travel to Mecca for the hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims travel to Islam’s most sacred mosque, al-Masjid al-Haram, during the six-day pilgrimage. Mecca is thought to be the place where Ishmael and his mother Hagar were provided with a spring of water in the desert. As it is the most sacred place in Islam, non-Muslims are forbidden from entering.

In the center of the mosque, there is a black, box-shaped building, which has sparked questions from those unfamiliar with the Islamic culture. Here is everything to know about the most sacred space in the Muslim world.

What is the cube-shaped structure called?

It is called the Kaaba, or "the cube."

Is there anything inside?

The Kaaba is built around a sacred black stone, a meteorite that Muslims believe was placed by Abraham and Ishmael in a corner of the Kaaba, a symbol of God's covenant with Abraham and Ishmael and, by extension, with the Muslim community itself. It is embedded in the eastern corner of the Kaaba.

What is the historical significance of the Kaaba?

Muslims believe the Kaaba was originally built by Abraham and Ishmael, but the site was re-dedicated by Muhammad and has been reconstructed since. When Muslims pray, wherever they are, they turn toward the Kaaba, and during the hajj, pilgrims walk counterclockwise around it seven times.

What is the Kaaba made of?

The Kaaba is made of granite from the hills near Mecca. The structure is 50 feet high (15.24 meters), 35 feet (10.67 meters) wide and 40 feet long (12.19 meters) long. Inside the Kaaba, the floor is made of marble and limestone. The interior walls, measuring 43 feet (13 meters) by 30 feet (9 meters), are clad with tiled, white marble halfway to the roof, with darker trimmings along the floor. It is covered by a black silk cloth decorated with gold-embroidered calligraphy. This cloth is known as the kiswa, and it is replaced yearly.

Disorderliness is. If it happened once, it would be a tragedy. If it happened twice, it would be a tragedy with an urgent call to corrective action. But it is happening regularly, every few years.

You were going so well up to this point. For a fleeting moment I thought you were actually going to make an insightful point about the inherent risks of having 2 million people together in one place and the need to implement more stringent controls.

but then you descended into...

You look at Muslims ... [blah blah blah]

Ah yes of course - its a 'muslim thing'. Thanks for bringing up back to earth Soren Tongue

The very idea that 2 million people will come together to pelt a column of stone with pebbles is bizarre in the extreme. That such people will regularly trample each other to death seems unsurprising.

it would seem strange they have not come up with a one way in and another way to exit..... traffic is traffic..
whether its walking or driving it needs rules..

as we know this has happened more than once..its a high price to pay for observance. Sad

I can fix it -

I'll charge Muslims $5 to throw some stones at a wall.

A better deal than flying to Saudi Arabia & a lot safer!

Papal visits around the world draw crowds of a million and more, in rich countries and poor ones. I can't recall a single stampede in the last few decades. Can you, Gandy?

Quite a contrast between the 'Muslim thing' and the 'Christian thing', no? Should I apologise to Muslims for noticing?
