  • The bit where you said 'religion should be outlawed.' Gave me the impression that you think religion should be, like, outlawed., funnily enough.

  • Some might say this is Darwinism at work.   I was going to put something about most of them not having tickets, but apparently that type of thing is frowned upon round these parts now, so I won't.

It's got Mossad written all over it.

 

By my reckoning this is just over 4000 deaths at the Hajj in crushes, protests and other general mishaps since 1975. Madness. Utter batshit madness.

Meanwhile they are going to be beheading and then crucifying a lad tomorrow. Nice.

They've beheaded more folk in Saudi in the last 12 months than ISIS. Life is cheap over there.

Backward religion, backward country, backward UN.

I know a number of people that have been on Hajj, everyone of them says it's dangerous as Fook!

Saudi Arabia is about to be put in charge of the UN Human Rights Council. It's enough to make a cat laugh.

They don't let women drive though, so it's not all bad.

Awful stuff RIP to those poor folk.

Some of the dirty slags even dare to go and get themselves raped. As a consequence the woman is rightly punished.

Bit like the bull run in pamplona

Seriously?

At what stage do you look at yourself and your belief systems and think 'Hang on. This is fucking berzerk'?

 

It's a bit like a bloke getting progressively fatter and alarm bells not ringing when he can't fit through the door.

Similar stampede in Yorkshire last year when someone dropped a penny.

Mind you in the interests of balance it's only reasonable to point out that the only realistic alternative to the House of Saud's rule would be so, so much worse.

 

An absolutely excellent book about this is called Inside The Kingdom and is very much recommended by me, so there.

speaking of a good Raping  a MAN was raped in Bolton

 

Men raping Man what is this town becoming

Adult men throwing rocks at a bigger rock believing its some mystic omnipotent being that is responsible for anything bad that they do during their lifetime. Thank fuck I'll be long gone when their progeny breed themselves into a majority in western Europe.

Eid mubarak.

Worth a punt?

Stone Age.

Stone Age.

I've just got the news on and done Saudi minister says it's the will of God. Who the fuck wants to follow a wanker who thinks one day, fuck it, I'll kill a few hundred of my fans. If this was one of Frank Spencer's mosher gigs folk'd say daft bastards & Darwinism at work.

On the road signs, in that area, where the TV cameras have shown, on the translation from their language into ours, they have it called ` Makkah`. There are so many variations of Islamic words, such as Quran and Koran etc. Does anyone know why this is?
