The article, unfortunately, didn't mention or theorise on what caused the stampede. I really want to know what on earth could make people do that.
Well, religion I guess!

Not too long ago i remember reading about a crane in the mosque collapsing and killing a lot of people as they were getting things ready for hajj. Can't they take the hint that God doesn't want them doing this thing anymore?

It's kind of speculative (for lack of a better word) to think of what they were thinking, and how agreeable or not this practice is. It sounds like their own business, in principle, what they do with their lives to me.
If it is not an ethical matter, I wonder what posts like the OP are even about. Its sounds like a conservative news feed, with a dopey conservative pundit, rather than anything philosophical.
But yeah there is something to it. White bread americans can't just stop sniffing around. When there actually is actually a clash of values, everybody is all warmed up, in their hackles already.
Bullshit OC. What's the topic? Sticking your nose in it?

I wonder if you can link a single stampede death linked to atheism.
These people were all emotionally worked up stoning a fictitious Satan.

But it is not my own business what threads I start? Cannot have it both ways.

I swear I've heard this story in years past. Isn't there often a deadly stampede during the hajj to mecca? I wonder how the odds of a muslim dying in a stampede compare to other people.

Apparently so.

How many virgins do you get for dying in a stampede?
How come Muslim women are not rewarded with male virgins for dying in the cause?

It is like the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. The threat of physical danger makes it appealing.
