Hajj 2015 Stampede being politicize with fake pictures.
On 23 September 2015, a stampede resulted in the deaths of at least 769 people and injuries to 934 others during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. It is the deadliest accident to occur in the Hajj since the 1990 stampede that killed 1,426 people.The incident was the second tragedy at Mecca in less than two weeks. Earlier, on September 11, a crane collapsed, killing 111 people and injuring 394.
Since then many people are trying to politicize it with conspiracy theories and fake propaganda , that's really appalling and disgusting to use a tragedy to blame someone , specially if someone who is not the culprit!
Without wasting time on WHO IS THE CULPRIT or WHO IS DOING THIS , i just want to show a picture which is going viral to blame Saudi Kingdom's management.
This picture is being widely circulating with a message " Saudi Kingdom bulldozing dead bodies and dumping like trash" Astaghfirullah , this is utterly disgusting allegation and false accusation.
Firstly lets talk about those Shoveling trucks which are being said to be picking up the dead bodies, the truth is this pictures are from the 2004 stampede incident when 244 pilgrims died (click for source News Pictures ) and no they were not picking the dead bodies, they were clearing the mats, shoes, clothes etc to make clear path for other pilgrims to resume the rituals. One has to keep in mind there are 2 millions pilgrims during Hajj, its a large amount of gathering !

Now about the bodies being dumped in piles which look outrageous, yes anyone will feel outrageous by seeing so many dead bodies pilled up one above another, but was it done intentionally or done in reckless manner ? Nope it was done under pressurize situation while stampede was going on and bodies were being pulled out from the crowded yet congested place. Lets have look where this happened .
This is the location where the stampede took place when Pilgrims broke the barricades and ran towards opposite direction which eventually lead to stampede.
You can see how congested this lane is to gather all the dead bodies at once.
And this is how large the crowd is behind !
One should keep in mind how will you handle in such scenario ? They were not only working to save the victims in stampede, they were also thinking about millions out there in row!
Over 500 doctors, 220 ambulance, thousands of nurses and volunteers were working tirelessly to save as many as they can !
It's tragic to see the people die, its heartening and its irreparable loss too!
But that doesn't mean we should not see the truth and believe everything which is being presented! Not everything you see might be truth, one has to go deep into that matter to see the truth!
May Allaah unite everyone and may there be peace around this world, may such tragic never happen again!
