Allah, or…God Almighty?

The Associated Press says that at least 100 have been killed by flash flooding in Saudi Arabia Wednesday that affected the annual pilgrimage to Mecca that is ongoing this week. Given these pictures uploaded this morning from AccuWeather.com Photo Gallery user addhna, I would think that death toll would continue to rise in this terrible tragedy; this article says that 350 are still missing.
The Associated Press says:
“The official says rescue teams were looking for possible survivors from the downpours that caused heavy flooding in the coastal city of Jiddah, the main entry point for the millions of Muslims performing the annual hajj pilgrimage. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the media.”

I saw this a few days ago and I was actually waiting for someone to link it to climate change!
(after Fort Hood, the 9/11 trials in NY, and “ClimateGate” I am suffering from ‘blog-overload,lol!)

“INSHALLAH”
OddMashuggahJob threatened anyone who dared enter Iranian air space that they couldn’t do it unseen, …and shortly thereafter G-d poked their eyes out.
When Ariel Sharon went into a coma, the Iranian dwarf said that Sharon had died (he’s still in coma, btw) and that soon others would follow. Within a week others did follow, and they were among the cream of Iran’s deadly crop.
When do you suppose they’ll get the message that G-d doesn’t appreciate hate and violence, and what goes around comes around (i.e., you reap why you sow).

100 of the super lucky. They have just won the lottery of death. Islam insists that anyone dying on pilgrimage goes straight to paradise, I wonder if the virgins are allocated on a pro rate basis on the distance from Mecca.
If it is the case, they are all due 71 and a half each.
