"In our prayer, we will ask God for forgiveness, but also to take revenge against all the people who are behind our suffering due to the power cuts," said Suboh, 38.

That would be Hamas again then.


Anyway, who said global warming was a bad thing ?
Look like we get some side benefits as well.

So when do we start getting the local stampede numbers? It always happens during Ramadan, which is kinda sad.

It should be called "we're still in the Stone-Age month", but I guess Ramadan rolls off the tongue smoother.

No for Lent you are supposed to give up something that you really like such as coffee, chocolate, ect, and to eat very little.

There are quite a few Protestants who do the Lent thing too. My grandmother gave up red meat.

The stampedes happen during the hajj or pilgrimage in Mecca. I would not make much hay of this as the secular left's "Love Parade" in Germany claimed some 20 lives in a stampede about a month ago. The point being that anytime you have a large crowd in too small a space you're tossing the dice with Death.
