Let's be honest. If something happened at the Kaabah around Mecca during the annual pilgrimage like this, people would be suspicious too that it was some kind of arson or attack even if there was reason to believe it could easily be an accident.
Let's be really honest, no they wouldn't, it would likely be presumed accidental and investigated to find the truth. This paranoia doesn't run both ways...
In terms of ATS, Ket's right, most people on here would be suspicious of intent. I don't know if she was referring to ATS alone or not, though.

And no one has even brought up a possibility of anything untoward in the regular coverage either. So far, this is just likely a construction incident. They won't really know until they investigate, and even then, we may not really know or believe them because this is ATS. Look at how people treat 9/11 even today.

one certain ideology.
Which one would that be?
almost no matter what the official results are, there are those who will likely be suspicious.
