If a person gathers all their savings in order to make the pilgrimage, and dies there, what’s done with their body? You know the airlines aren’t going to refund those return flights, do they switch out the seat for a ride in the baggage compartment?
My uncle died during a pilgrimage from a heart attack (he had prior health issues), you get buried there ideally.
Apropos of nothing, Saudi Arabia is the definition of a petro-state.
Chickens. Coming home. Roosting. Etc.
Your comment was probably off handed but I just wanna clarify that muslims aren’t to blame for our oil addiction, rich people are
I agree, but to some degree, people own their government, and this government is, more than many, responsible for much of the causes of climate change.
I’d say the same thing if Florida sinks into the sea, or South Texas and Louisiana are swamped, or north Alberta catches fire.
Also remember the west (Brits and Americans) empowered them. Hell, most of the Saudi Family grew up in one of those places.
Just because lots don’t do doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing that their religion mandates. I can think of a few Catholics that don’t do things their religion mandates, too.
I can’t help but wonder if even a single Muslim will question how their god could let this happen. I mean, their religion literally mandates that they make a pilgrimage there, and then a bunch of them die completing that mandate. Wild.
My heart sincerely goes out to the families, this is tragic.
