we heard a lot from our muslim friends about how katrina and rita were judgements against the united states - the wind of allah - if i remember correctly.. there were even some quotes from the koran to say that this was the s'trong wind cutting through the infadels' or somesuch.. as i look for explanations of the massive loss of life in two of the most populus muslim countries due to earthquakes and related tsunami over the course of the last 11 months, i don't seem to see the same rhetoric. yet, truth be told, we will see over 200,000 people die in predominantly muslim lands from natural disasters in less than a year.. what message is allah sending to his faithful ? what is all of this to mean ? and to have this occur during ramadan.. blasphemous.
