Conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this.

Conspiracy against whom? Non-muslims? Hardly likely since none are allowed in Mecca. It's probably a simple matter of lax safety controls and pressure to complete work ahead of the annual pilgrimage.

We were asked to look at one aspect of the work there but I personally couldn't see the point of putting any time or effort into it since none of us would be allowed in the city.

Standard Arabic response would be to shrug their shoulders and mutter something about it being the will of Allah.

Standard Artabic attitude is to not check the crane is properly assembled and maintained because if Allah wants it to stay up, that's what will happen. If he wants it to crash through the roof of a Mosque, that's also what will happen.

Fly Emirates?

Insha'Allah.

This is a real, actual thing that intelligent, educated Mahometans can and and do still say to excuse pretty much any cack-handed failure on the part of the faithful.

I've pretty much had it with dealing with it, and pity the fools that try to do business on that basis.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but there's no crane in the picture.

Obviously added later by the Man, to convince the sheeple it was an accident.

Quite - it always amuses me after a tragedy like this that the religious ball-lickers don't spout off about 'God abandoning us' or similar. Usually what happens is they praise God that only 100 people were killed instead of 500 because it could have been much worse. God clearly looked after them.

If a crane falls over in Mecca.

In the past Gods destroyed entire cities and still the people just carried on as usual so I don't think one crane bumping off a few dozen believers would have an effect.

Nope, I have conclusive proof that actually it was caused by God trolling the muzzers. Laughing

Now that amateur hour is over, the real pros have stepped up.

310 450+ dead, 450 700+ injured[numbers subject to escalation] while throwing rocks at a bigger rock: such a metaphor.

Begs the question, if you have to do the Hajj in order to level up to full Muslim, is the number of Muslims actually self limiting? Thinking
