I lived in New Mexico when that state had lots of fires. I will keepmyou in my prayers.
Rumor is that the fires started on the one year anniversary of the grand opening of the local mosque.
Apparently there is a full court press by the media to spin the muslim angle positively. Lots of sympathetic articles currently being excreted with 2 themes:
1) innocent muslimes fleeing the fire like everybody else, but their experience is just oh so much more poignant and full of adversity, and
2) muslims volunteering, and taking in those who have fled, and look they are taking in regular Canadian white people. Gosh muslims have big hearts.
