Oh no, he stood on some cloth. This will really tarnish his otherwise spotless record.
There's plenty of stuff to hate the dead guy for but this isn't it.

Invert that: the gross pervert touched a holy object.
As a muslim,the kiswah is not holy, but i am still upset at the fact they gave it to epstein of all people
What doesn't outrage muslims? It's fine you believe what you believe, but you can't expect everyone else on the planet to have the same beliefs as you. If you do, you're the problem here. Don't like when someone stands on a fucking rug, don't stand on the fucking rug yourself. Don't like when someone else eats pork, don't eat pork yourself. Why is this such a hard concept for religious people in general? Keep your religion to your fucking self please.
Also, Epstein is a piece of shit, of course. But not for standing on a fucking rug.
The same goes for Christianity and many other religions, I guess.
Kiswa is not sacred, its just a cloth that covers ka'aba. There is no religious significance of it. People are enraged just like anyone, who is part of a fanbase saw some memorablia "destroyed" yk?
Like star trek fans would be mad if the author of franchise sent some memorabilia to epstein and he was just it as rug.
Has anyone checked the Epstein file for Rick Berman? Just curious
Oh great make us all nervous now
TIL the cloth is replaced annually. What happens to the old cloth?
Gives a little more insight to the tradition of the kiswah. Mildly interesting.
The Sultan awards it to The Pedophile of the Year.
They cut it into pieces and send it to various murderers and child predators around the world.
Oil shill states also had direct connections with Epstein?
...
I think I ran out of shocked jokes to put in these type comments...
What “israeli operation in dubai”?
