Muslims Gather for Hajj at Mecca, Saudia Arabia
Millions of Muslims embarked on the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca every Muslim male who is able is required to do at least once in their lives. (Tweet that!) Unfortunately there were two tragedies during this Hajj: A crane fell into a crowd killing over 100 people on September 12, 2015. Then on September 24th many Muslim pilgrims stampeded, killing hundreds. At first the dead counted beyond 700. Yesterday news reports said the number dead in the human stampede at the Muslim Hajj climbed to over 1,100.
