Are they out of their minds? The lower half America is in severe drought. Here, we’re breaking record high temperatures and this week will be over 105. There hasn’t been a drop of rain since who knows when. It’s been the worst drought since 1895 - yes, that’s 18 and 95. The cattle have no water or feed so families who have never had to sell off their entire stock are being forced to now. We’ve been on fire bans for months. We’ve been on water restriction for months. Rivers and aquifers are running dry causing businesses to close and dry water wells. And now ERCOT, the power company that handles 80% of Texas’ electricity, has asked customers to voluntarily to cut back on peak hours.

But sure, laugh at America and turn your backs just like you did on 9/11.

“....charitable donations for drought-ridden Somalia during the obligatory fast”

.
The donations will mostly come from the non-Muslim world. Muslim charity is something I have not seen in the ME. I have seen the Sisters of Mother Theresa living in squalor with the dying Muslim children they cared for and I know of two nuns who were gunned down publicly as a sign of appreciation.
