Yes, to the muslims, it is normal. Their death will be compensated with free ticket to heaven. Islam is the only true religion in the eyes of Allah.

Nonsense, did the government tie their hands & force them to go to Mecca? It's time people take blame for their own action & stop blaming the government for every mischievous thing.

I was told by a Muslim friend that it's an honor to die in Mecca. I for one do not see the logic in it. But you know what religion is what will bring this world tumbling down.

Whiles we morn their death, their families, I believe, are rejoicing because it is the wish of every muslim to die in mecca during the process of hajj.

Some of these pilgrims are too old for the rigors and tress of the Hajj. It is recommended to go while still young and healthy for the strenuous Hajj work. Some sick people also go to Hajj hoping for a miraculous cure from Kabbah and Zamzam water. This is no news at all but as usual anything to paint Islam in negative light is news to many.

It is not surprising! If people do not know who they are; where they are; why they are where they are; and where they going to be from where they, they always talk jazz.

Muslims are never concerned and worried about all the Christian advertisements on radios, televisions, and man-to-man contacts inviting people to join them. Islam and Muslims do not campaigning, lying and promising people miracles, and calling them to join Islam. No, that's not done. But Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.

If Christians will stop fooling, be fair to each other and to themselves, read the Bible and the Qur'an with free and open mind, they will able to make a good choice. But they won't, because Christianity is money business, not a religion.

The Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims claim Father Abraham(as). Abraham(as) was, before Moses(as) and the Old Testament; Abraham(as) was, before Jesus(as) and the New Testament; and Abraham(as) was, before Muhammed(saw) and the Qur'an.

Sigle-handedly, Abraham(as) was described as a Nation, whose descendants would be more than the sea sand. It has truly happened. He fathered the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims. But what was his religion?

However, it is important to note that Father Abraham(as) was neither a Jew nor a Christian. Nothing did Father Abraham(as) do in his life time that we see the Jews and the Christians do today. Father Abraham(as) and his son raised the walls of the Ka'aba that we all see today. Prophet Moses(as) or the Jews did not claim the Ka'aba; and Jesus(as) or the Christians did not claim the Ka'aba until Muhammed(saw) came after some 600 years to continue what Father Abraham(as) started there.

As part of the rituals during Islamic pilgrimage in Mecca, Muslims perform some of the rituals and acts of Father Abraham(as), such as sacrificing rams; worshipping (performing salats) at Abraham's(as) station at the Ka'aba; and stoning the Satan(the accursed) symbolizing the time he tried to convince Abraham's(as) son to disagree to be sacrificed.

So, if Abraham(as) is not a Jew and not a Christian; and this is clear for all to see and understand, and if neither the Jews nor the Christians practise the religion of Father Abraham(as), but only the Muslims do, is there anybody who is doubtful today that Father Abraham(as) was a Muslim who practised Islam?

Father Abraham was not an idol worshiper, you should be ashamed of your adolatrous worship which your prophet ceased from the pagans of mecca.

You and those who talk like you are fanny. Nobody cares about your growth in numbers you bigot. Do unbelievers have the right and freedom to practice their religion and convert muslims in muslim countries the same way you are in the land of the kuffar competing with them to promote islam?
Christians are converting more people than islam.Your growth is as a result of you high birth rate, not because of anything. Even if more people were converting to islam, it does not prove any thing, it does not make Mohammad a prophet of God. Neither does it make Allah God.
Christianity is not suppose to be greater in number before the coming of Jesus Christ. It is rather the religion of the antichrist, which islam is, that is suppose to.
For us as non muslims, any growth in islam is a threat to our lives. Your growth is useless to both yourselves and us. What has islam achieved If not for the killing of fellow human beings?

It's a pity. Gideon has not told us that Abraham(as) did not build the Ka'aba; Gideon did not tell us that Muslim sacrifice of rams did not start from Abraham; and Gideon did tell us that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam did not find root with Abraham.

Christians may hate Islam; but that will not kill the religion. Christians can call Islam and Muslims names; but that cannot change the truth; and Christians can refuse to come out of their shell to learn and know what Islam really is; that cannot reduce Islam.

Jews like their religion, Judaism; and Christians like their religion, Christianity, just as Muslims like their religion, Islam.

Pilgrimage was performed by early Christians; why has it stopped now? Where did the early Christians go on pilgrimage? What did they do on pilgrimage? In fact we will not call what they did pilgrimage - they only travelled to distant lands through hardship and suffering in the name of Christianity, but with no specific religious basis. They did what pleased them, that's all.

The Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims all believed in life after death. There we shall see who will regret. Do the Christians think that the Trinity, that they are not able to explain, is not Paganism? Moses preached the Unity of God; Jesus preached the Unity of God; and Islam preach the Unity of God. And all these started from Adam, Noah, Jonah, Job, Abraham, Lot, Ishmail, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, etc. etc.

When Jesus said it is One God, "wiser" Christians say it is three-in-one. Mahaukata
