I have many friends that took the journey in the early 90's, and told me about hundreds of ushers, people handing out the typical dress wear, rugs, water, food. I seriously doubt its a crazed fest of worshippers (sp). |

 | It can't be too organized with hundreds of people getting trampled every year. But in the end it is their religious duty to go, and they know the risks.
If they feel like taking that risk of getting trampled in the yearly stampede, more power to them. |

 | Smart ass comments aside Fatness, it's a FACT that people get trampled to death year after year. Like I said, more power to them. |

But ummm, yea.
Lots of death's here in the U.S. from over crowded venues, such as concert seating rows collapsing an such things that go along with public safety.
But what Im wondering is why bring that "fact" up when its got nothing to do with wifi in the city?
Unless of course your trying to divert potential visitors, you know, the ones that will be doing "other" things?  |

 | Hey! in the states we have a trampling every year too! it's called BLACK FRIDAY at WALMART  |

A news article reporting something positive connected with Muslims is an article you can expect certain people to try to derail. -- Female monkeys often utter loud, distinctive calls before, during or after sex.. |
