On 11 September 2015, a crawler crane toppled over onto the Masjid al-Haram, the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. 111 people were killed and 394 injured

The accident has been cited as the deadliest crane collapse in modern history, with the previous most deadly incident being the collapse of a construction crane in New York City in 2008, killing seven people.[16]

Ramadan is when muslims dont have fun (eat/drink/smoke/gently caress) between sun up and sun down for an entire month, for some reason. I think you get out of it if you're on your period or pregnant so basically its the only time of the year that muslim women get the best deal out of their religion.

The old, the ill or unhealthy, the pregnant, and kids up to a certain age don't have to follow, as far as I know.

Bismuth posted:

What genius came up with the idea of a fast where you cant drink water during the hottest part of the year? Like what did they do before air conditioning, just die?

Also what about Muslims too poor to go to mecca, I'm sure there have got to be a lot of them that cant afford the time off work/plane tickets/etc, that must just suck. Is there some leeway for them?

I can't remember properly, since it was over a decade ago when I read a book about it, but I think Ramadan might have (as with several things in Islam) been appropriated from an earlier pre-Islam tradition. Muhammad's butthurt and taking Mecca and the kaaba to spite the locals and incorporate it as part of his new religion is a key piece of that appropriation tradition.

I've read some articles that Saudi Arabia sponsors flights in Muslim countries for the poor, using the (money saving) idea that since they are poor, if they send the most able-bodied male or most senior males in a family (like 3-4 generations under one hut roof) that the rest of the family will get the blessing of the hajj. That's how all these poor Indonesians, Bangladeshis and random African-countrymen end up in Mecca.

Saudia Arabia sponsors a lot of these types of things, but also put their money into building madrassahs into poor or rural areas to help flare that Wahhabist flame. I lived for a bit in a small town in India and I often passed by an elegantly constructed, but technologically lacking, madrassah that had a big "PAID FOR BY THE KINGDOM OF SAUDIA ARABIA" and the name of whoever royalty donated the money to build it. No surprise that area had some bombings by Muslims later. Pretty much anything related to the extra-crazy brand of Islam has Saudi money behind it.

I don't think it was an outright ban, but they did try to dissuade people from some African country from coming because of the 'bola. Also, I think they blame the Black Muslims for stampedes and whatnot on the regular.

Edit: big dumb Meccaclock.



That clock is monstrous. Here is a view of it, at the same scale to other famous clocks.



As far as the fasting part, I have quite a few Muslim students. Luckily, it's the end of the school year, and P.E. has stopped having the kids do anything strenuous, because inevitably, so kid would get sick and have to go to the nurse, because of the fasting and exertion.
