#2 The Religious Policeman, in his Jan 13 posting, had some interesting observations as to the cause and suggestions to prevent this from recuring again and again. But why not just blame it on the the lunatics of the full moon?

#3 I'm shocked.

I thought they'd blame Allen (like last time)

Everything in the world is Allen's will, right?

Right?

#5 Since I knew this was coming, does that make me a prophet? Can I start my own religion? Can I have 11 wives and have other people give me lots of money? Can my followers lay waste Luxembourg and forcibly convert the inhabitants?

#6 #3. Barbara you are correct. Crown Prince Sultan, after a thorough 48 hour investigation of the incident that took place at the entrance of the eastern Jamarat Bridge, issued a statement on Thursday saying "this has been predestined by Almighty Allah and no one can prevent fate." His Brother Nayif seconded the motion: ".....we all know the large number of security forces that were deployed this year, but some things are just above the ability of human beings. What happened was God’s will." From the Religious Policeman's Jan 14 posting.

Well that settles it. No need for litigation in the Magic Kingdom.

#9 I thought for sure it was Bush's fault??? Isn't EVERYTHING? That's what the television always tells me.
