Haj Pilgrims Stone 'Devil' Bush
Many pilgrims said they were thinking of Bush and his allies while they were hurling pebbles at the site where the devil is said to have appeared to the biblical patriarch Abraham.

"Yes, the devil is Bush and that other one from Israel -- (Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon. And there's (British Prime Minister) Blair too," said Egyptian Tia'amah Mohammed.

"We throw the stones so we can vent our anger at them."

The haj was first performed by Islam's Prophet Mohammad 1,400 years ago.

1. Bush has already been stoned
many many times, of his own volition.
