Personally I expect the number of dead to rise as more bodies are found among the stampeding crowds. Hopefully many survivors will learn that following the five pillars of Islam is no guarantee of happiness and fulfillment.<br />I hope the Lord of Lords moves many of the survivors to recognize that Christ is the only way to peace with God.
