How could any deity allow such suffering to their most devout of followers, in the most holy of holy places? Surely if a deity really did exist, these pilgrims would be exempt from any unpleasantness. Or perhaps it is a sign that Allah is not entirely happy with the atrocities done in his name, by the evil House of Saud?

Milvus - "Do you really think that is necessary Gromit. You're surely better than that"
Gromit - "Seems like a fair question [What was Allah thinking to allow such an occurance?]. How could any deity allow such suffering to their most devout of followers, in the most holy of holy places?..."
I'm at a loss to understand what it is you find so objectionable to Gromt's question? It seems entirely reasonable to question why any god would arbitrarily kill those who worship him.

I don't think that Gromit is attempting to "score points" with his question. The fact that this tragedy happened in the Grand Mosque in Mecca must surly beg the question, "What was Allah thinking?". This structure is *the* most holy structure in the whole is Islam, situated in the *the* most holy city in the entire Islamic world - Mecca. If Allah is a literal god and has all the trappings of such a deity - omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence - how and why would he allow such a calamity to occur?
I'm sorry to say that your comparison to the Malaysia Airlines passenger jet [MH370] crash on 17th July 2014 (to which I assume you are referring) is not valid in this context. While undoubtedly a tragedy, it goes without saying that Malaysian Airlines is not mentioned in the Koran nor any other Islamic scripture. I'm not being facetious here, I'm deadly serious.
This kind of catastrophe goes to the very heart of the matter as to what a supreme deity is capable of and responsible for.
