Arab pilgrim commits suicide at Grand Mosque in Makkah
2018-08-25
[ARABNEWS] : 

An Arab national did away with himself by throwing himself off the roof of the Grand Mosque in Makkah on Friday morning, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.



"Two other pilgrims who were maimed in the incident are in a stable condition in hospital," said Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Mansouri, front man for the Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques.

Security authorities are investigating the incident, he added.



It is not the first such incident. In June, a Frenchie did away with himself at the Grand Mosque.

And last year, a Saudi tried to set himself on fire in front of the Kaaba ‐ the square stone building at the center of the mosque compound ‐ but was stopped by security forces.

Islam, like other monotheistic religions, prohibits suicide.

#3  I read somewhere that dying on the hajj guarantees a Muslim's entry to Paradise.

Which gives me an idea

Unless they choose to kill humans and it's suicide to leave the moon cult.
