Hajj Stampede
Pilgrims just stampeded 244 to death at the Stoning of Satan. Apparently, trampling deaths at the Islamic Holy pilgrimage are an annual event. So as to not risk a holy Fatwah, I'll just say I find this an amusing metaphor. And the quote that just pulls it all together: "All precautions were taken to prevent such an incident, but this is God's will." Watch out world, here comes Allah.
