    they make fun of hundu peganism when they are the most pegan by kissing stones
  • @mrali5196
    The sun doesn't know who is official and who isn't. The heat gets to everyone.
  • People should understand that Hajj permit is for their own safety and being with a guide and a group is a must! The system is to ease Hajj rituals, but sadly some people don’t understand!
  • @gilkin6328
    The official Saudi Press Agency said that more than three-quarters of those who died did not have official permits allowing them to be there, and walked under direct sunlight without proper shelter.
  • Do you mean that Allah punished his followers because they did not have permits?
  • @gilkin6328
    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced the death of at least 1,301 pilgrims this year, most of whom did not obtain a permit for Hajj, explaining that they walked long distances in extreme heat.
  • @gilkin6328
    The pilgrims performed the rituals this year during a severe heat wave. Temperatures sometimes exceeded 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit).
  • They discriminate against pilgrims from Africa and Asia… they barely get enough water, food and air conditioned living spaces.
  • Not the best timing to make fun of someone's faith. You're no different in the comments section.
  • @rajpillai5007
    Not to blame the religious ritual for the deaths...Its purely the failure management of pilgrimage. How come there's pilgrims with & whitout permits....these will lead to disaster to happen for over populated in certain points. Was told that some pilgrims travel do the rituals more often or on yearly basis but the under previlage pilgrims waits for years to have their turn.. its again the humanity common sence to be uphold to give way for other ummah to perform peacefully without hindrance.

  • Lord Jesus Christ said if you don't believe that I am the One I claim to be you will die in your sins John 8 24 He is the Way to the Father John 14 6 and He gives eternal life John 17. God Almighty is spirit, you don't have to go far to worship Him Praise be to the LORD, God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, All the people praise the Lord Amen Psalm 106

    Saudi has failed to handle hajj this year.
  • Muslims never worship the black stones, kaabah etc. a muslim is not muslim if she/he worships someone/something other than Allah. the stone is believed to be sent down from the heaven. you don't need to kiss it, it's not compulsory..those who think muslim practises paganism, I think you just state it without having proper knowledge about Islam.
