717 dead in Mecca stampage on Eid Mubarak
They converge on Mina to throw stones at pillars representing the devil. Preparations for the Hajj were marred when a crane collapsed at Mecca’s Grand Mosque this month, killing 109 people.
The Saudi civil defence directorate said on Twitter that 4,000 personnel had been sent to the scene of Thursday’s stampede, along with more than 220 emergency and rescue units. The injured are being taken to four hospitals in the area.

My comment:
The BBC calls Mecca a “holy city”. When the editors do this, they present Islam as a true religion.
Why does the British National broadcaster do this?
What made this city “holy” for the more than 700 dead Muslims?
Would it no be more correct to brand the city of Mecca as the devil’s nest?
Do all Muslims understand that they are invited to Mecca to worship a “holy stone” who is suppose to absorb their sins?
Plese read this link:
Isaiah 5: 20
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil, who put darkness for light
and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
When Western media elevate the city of Mecca, we surrender to Islamic ideology. It is a sin, and it is shameful. The religion of Islam reject that God has a begotten Son. Muhammad’s message to the World is that Jesus the Messiah was a liar. The Jewish leadership was correct in rejecting the divinity of Jesus of Nazareth.
This is the verdict: light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Muslims worship a black stone
They bow down to, worship and kiss a black stone, suppose to have fallen down from the the sky. A stone from the moon.
The Stone is roughly 30 cm (12 in.) in diameter, and 1.5 meters (5 ft.) above the ground.
And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
Allah was originally the name of an Arabic pagan god. This god was the moon God, and the Arabs moon worshipers. The Prophet Muhammad was raised in a family of moon god worshipers. When He received the revelation written down in the Koran, Muhammad told the Arabs not to worship the physical moon as god. In stead they were told to pray towards Mecca, and the black stone that had fallen down from the moon.
The Bible rebuke such worship as sinful idol worship.
2 Kings 21:3
He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed; he also erected altars to Baal and made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them.
A symbol of the moon is the symbol of Islam. Its on top of every prayer tower, on top of every Mosque, and used as a symbol of very Islamic nation.
Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they produced three goddesses who were called «the daughters of Allah». These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.
The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were viewed as «high» gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top of the pantheon of Arabian deities.
Jeremiah 8:2
They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.
(Koran 74:32-34). Muslims fast during the month that begins and ends with a crescent moon.
The Arabs believed that the moon-god was the greatest of all gods. In worshiping their moon-god, Allah, they prayed toward Mecca several times a day, made pilgrimages to Mecca, ran around their moon-god temple called Kabah, kissed the Black Stone, killed animal sacrifices for their moon-god, and fasted for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon, etc, just as the Muslims do today.
There is a verse in the Bible about worshiping a stone that fell from the heaven.
Acts 19:35
The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?
Muslim worship is very similar to the pagan worship of the stone in Ephesus. Islam also have element of worship, adoration and veneration of goddesses. The Muslims believed Allah, the moon-god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they produced three goddesses who were called «the daughters of Allah». Allah’s three daughters, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat, were viewed as intercessors between the people and Allah and were also worshiped at the Kabah in Mecca. The daughters of Allah, along with Allah’s wife the sun goddess, and Allah were viewed as «high» gods.
To this day, a crescent moon can be found at the front of every mosque, acknowledging that Allah was and is still their moon-god.
