Im not talking about natural causes. Im talking about the reports that people died in a stampede. Why do people stampede?
Firstly, i thought only muslims were allowed in Mecca, so there can be no anti-muslim racists to piss them off.
Secondly, they are in Mecca for complete and utter devotion to Allah...so no socialising and talking (where a misphrased statement could spark a riot). And if my second statement is biased and/or wrong please correct me and help me to understand.
I dont mean to attack Islam with this question. I have to utmost respect for all religions, and every induviduls choice. An please dont say the people who stampede arent Muslim. an unlearned friend of mine said that, and it sounds stupid. Thats like saying the half the pilgrims are hypocrites.
Anyone may answer this, as long as they have a sufficient knowledge of Islam and/or Hajj. No racism please.
Thanks.
