#1 Like the graphic, Fred. I note that the BBC yesterday and al Jazeera today both like to think that Hindus stampede. I'll bet they think that white people and Arabs, respectively, only crush. Can you imagine an alJ header: "Hajj stampede kills 300"?

#2 Wonder if it's a Kali cult? Setting fires and causing destruction are right up her alley.

#3 I thought that Kali was more into blood sacrifice rather than random acts of violence? Cutting out hearts or somesuch. Or is that just Indiana Jones?

#4 Kali: One of the manifestations and cult titles of the wife of Shiva and mother goddess Devi, especially in her malevolent role as a goddess of death and destruction, depicted as black, red-eyed, blood-stained, and wearing a necklace of skulls.
