This is the day in 81 we flew into Colombo's airport, about 30 miles outside the city itself

Doesn't Israel have a crack search and rescue team?Yes -- the very same one that had planes on the tarmac and ready to fly here on 9/11, but were turned down for fear of offending our Muslim "allies."

Yes, we do. I'd like to believe it's the State Dept's fault.

Well, as someone with whom I was on the phone a few minutes ago pointed out, we didn't need them anyway, as we had more than enough people here to do the job.

A lot of people are forgetting that heads were being chopped off and Christians terrorized in these very same countries that are now begging for aid earlier in the week of the quake.
Probably had to move the weapons out of the same mosques they are now using as shelter just to make room.

Sri Lanka Ambassador Diffa Digeratna is quoted by Jerusalem Post as saying that the change was due to the "the lack of accommodations in Colombo".Did they make all the other countries that are sending aid send "skeleton crews" because of "the lack of accomodations in Colombo"?

This reinforces my theory about some Muslims. Like far left CRATS, some are brain dead.

what is the religious composition of Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka has been involved in a religious civil war for over twenty years, Hindus vs Buddhists. You have to figure that this is one hellish place to have militant Buddhist.

"Good point. I'm willing to bet that all countries hit by this disaster will reject Israeli help."
Not Thailand or India. Funny how most of the countries involved are Muslim, but most of the donors are non Muslim. That pretty much sums up all anyone needs to know about the Muslim religion.

The Sri Lankan Hindus basically invented the suicide bomber, and were then copied by the Palestinians.
To: JeffersonRepublic.com
MILITANT BUDDHISM may sound like a contradiction in terms, especially while Islamic holy war is hogging the headlines. Nevertheless, in one of its periodic flare-ups in Sri Lanka, extremist Buddhist nationalism is threatening both the physical safety and the legal rights of that nation's Christian minority.
For purposes of comparison, consider: Sri Lanka is witnessing attacks on Christians at a rate far higher than the much noted wave of anti-Semitic violence in France. While church burnings and assaults on pastors and congregations have been mounting since the late 1990s, they apparently reached a crescendo early this year.
In the first four months of 2004, there were 44 assaults on churches in Sri Lanka, according to the tally maintained by Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Compass Direct, a wire service specializing in news of Christians who are persecuted for their faith, reports similar figures. Since Sri Lanka has about the population of Texas (20 million), this is the equivalent of 44 minority houses of worship--say, 44 mosques--being fire bombed or vandalized in that state in the space of four months.

They weren't turn down for fear of offending our "Muslim allies" bozo. If you don't remember, we didn't need their medical teams because there was NO! surviors on 9-11.

Looks like God hit Islam right up side the head. Now they are asking for more.
