Death Toll Rises to 345 in Hajj Stampede

Imagine if, every Easter Sunday, tens of thousands of Christians gathered in St. Peters Square, then crushed each other like European soccer fans by the hundreds trying to get a look at the Pope.
Well, first of all, it wouldn’t happen. The first time that rush resulted in a death, measures would be taken to assure it never happened again. The incongruity of death being associated with a religious occasion that celebrated life would be anathema to Christians everywhere.
On the other hand, witness the “Hajj”; a pilgrimage to Mecca required of all Muslims if they are able. Once there, The faithful perform various rituals prescribed for them which include cutting your hair, running, walking around a large black monolith, praying and “stoning the Satan”.
In the course of these rituals, EVERY year, hundreds of pilgrims are crushed. Death at the Hajj is so common it is addressed as a component of the pilgrimage in most written and printed materials.
I have no gripe with the Hajj or the way Muslims care to conduct it (or not as the case appears to be), but let’s not miss the simple fact that these annual deaths are just another manifestation of a culture of death.
Whatever Islam was meant to be by it’s inventor, whatever was practiced by Muslims for hundreds of years prior, whatever the occasional pacifististic Imam may say, Islam is now consumed with death, inside and out - the death of infidels, the martyrdom of it’s faithful. There is no regard for human life in Islam.
If the NSA hears me talking to my wife, If a prisoner in Guantanamo is too cold, if a couple of enemy combatants have to endure panties on their heads to protect the U.S. from their babarous assault…there will be no gripe from me
