![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/The_Door_to_Hell.jpg/800px-The_Door_to_Hell.jpg) Quote from wikipedia: The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided the best solution was burn it off. Geologists had hoped the fire would use all the fuel in a matter of days, but the gas is still burning today. Locals have dubbed the cavern "The Door to Hell". ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Fire-whirl.jpg) Fire tornado. | ||

Back on topic though please :/ They could have different emotional attachments for different people, even if I don't agree with them myself. Anyways, here is my set of pictures which shows some of the muslim culture. Hajj: ![[image loading]](http://www.timesofummah.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/A-man-taking-his-old-mother-to-Hajj.jpg) A man carrying his old mother on his back in the holy pilgrimage of hajj which lasts 5 days. Most Muslims have trouble carrying their own self, let alone their mothers on their backs. Similiar to Asian cultures, mothers have very, very high standing in Muslim cultures. ![[image loading]](http://somaliland247.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/4.jpg) Several men eating from a plate after fasting during hajj. Chances are most of them don't even know each other. Muslims sign up at hajj organizations which then groups people based on convenience. ![[image loading]](http://img.ibtimes.com/www/data/images/full/2011/11/03/184452-pilgrims-make-their-way-to-muzdalifah-after-performing-wuquf-in-arafat.jpg) Millions of Muslims make their way from Mecca to Mt. Arafat which is 13 mile walk lasting several hours. ![[image loading]](http://www.majalla.com/eng/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/View-from-Jabal-al-Rahma-The-Mount-of-Mercy-at-Arafat-photo-by-Reem-al-Faisal21.jpg) Picture of a black man praying as soon as he arrives on Mt. Arafat after his long walk. Its on a very special, yet limited day so he wastes no time and prays to God as soon as he arrives. You can see people still getting settled in around him and beneath him. ![[image loading]](http://somaliland247.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/2.jpg) During the early hours of the day right after sunrise. Some people chose to sleep, some to pray ![[image loading]](http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2009/2154634968_7827bd7825_b.jpg) Aerial view of Mt. Arafat. ![[image loading]](http://medya.todayszaman.com/todayszaman/2009/11/27/hajj-pilgrimage-starts-07.jpg) The face of true sorrow. ![[image loading]](http://medya.todayszaman.com/todayszaman/2009/11/27/hajj-pilgrimage-starts-12.jpg) The burden on this woman's back is probably as heavy as the mountain she is sitting on. Ramadan ![[image loading]](http://topislamicwallpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Ramadan_2012_Islamic_Pictures_IslamicImages_From_All_Over_World_bp10.jpg) Indian men pray before breaking their fast in Ramadan.Their choice of food and its arangement is interesting to say the least.Some might even be considered a luxury in the west, such as the slices of mango. Pakistani mother making tea for her family in Ramadan before dawn breaks, which is when fasting begins. This was taken in a refugee camp after the massive floods in Pakistan. The urgency can be seen in the material she is burning for fire. ![[image loading]](http://nimg.sulekha.com/others/thumbnailfull/mideast-egypt-ramadan-2009-9-7-0-41-48.jpg) Egyptian families celebrating ramadan in their own special way, generally in their crowded streets at night with their special Ramadan lamps hanging overhead. | ||

![[image loading]](http://6.asset.soup.io/asset/3795/6950_3974_500.jpeg) The man who saved the world: Stanislav Petrov was manning surveillance equipment for the Soviet Air Defense Forces when he noticed something strange on the screen. Soon after, warning signals started flashing with the report of an incoming nuclear missile from the USA. Seeing only one missile, he figured it was a mistake, assuming Americans wouldn’t send only one missile if they wanted a nuclear war. Soon thereafter, many more started appearing on the screen. Nevertheless he trusted his instincts, and rather than contact his superiors he waited to see what would happen. He waited past the perceived time on impact. There was no damage - the warnings were due to a system malfunction. Had Petrov not defied protocol and contacted his superiors, a real retaliatory strike may very well have been fired in response - igniting nuclear war between the USA and Soviet Union. | ||
