Really sick. But why would I expect more...

[steplock]

yep --- the hardest hit areas were islamic jihadist muslim!

[vpintheak]

Aren't most of the people that were killed muslim? Trying to scare them into mindless submission to their fatwa's, jihads, and suicide bombings I guess.

This moon god "Allah" must have a broken watch. The tsunami occurred on the 26th, not Christmas. Or maybe it took him that long to cast his spell on the earth.

...when fornicators and corrupt people from all over the world come to commit fornication and sexual perversion.

I don't think Allah has a problem with fornication and corruption and sexual perversion...

After all, Mohammed was a corrupt, fornicating sexual pervert and Allah didn't punish Mohammed...

...and then there is all that stuff in paradise about little boys serving the martyrs, etc.

Naw...seems to me that Allah likes that stuff.

If true, I am pretty sure some on this continent would have at least gotten a good drenching.

[reagan_fanatic]

Allah should be more concerned about camel and sheep molestation.

Hmm then Alah was als also condemning islam since the hotbed of islamic radicalism in Banda Aceh was wiped clean from the face of the earth. If this was the hand of God passing judgement then God is surely on our side because this is one of the areas flagged for eventual attention on our war on terror. And it's not just radical islam -- Banda Aceh was home to one of the top ten islamic shrines in the world and it is now an open air morgue.

So if we're looking for the hand of God I'd say muslims have more to fear than fornicators and homosexuals.

I just laughed at this. If it was Allah's punishment, what about those killed by tsunami not engaged in those activities.

Here is an additional news of how people of other religion felt about the incident based on their beliefs.

Maybe I'm not getting the gist of #458; it appears that the storyline is for some blue-eyed Palestinian girl will lose her eyes to a little "Zionist" boy (who is blind?)!! Good grief...these arabs are absolutely nuts!!

[Remole]

Take a look at the claims from all 4 clips. MOre proof that Islam never experienced anything close to the scientific turn of mind that occured in Europe in the 12th-13th centuries. Islamic entertainment and intellectual life are stuck in the irrationality of a pre-greco-roman-western time and place.

"It happened at Christmas, when fornicators and corrupt people from all over the world come to commit fornication and sexual perversion."

I guess the Shiek knows what goes on in Arabia with Christmas Trees when nobody is looking.

Everyone is knocking the Muslims for asking the question why God allowed this to happen, but that is actually a very good question. Though, the speculation given here cannot be substantiated.

As far as I know, there were no prophets warning of this impending disaster. If there had been, who would have listened?

They are also correct in believing that God is angry with the wickedness of fornication and sodomy that is becoming more widespread in our world. Jesus warned that in the last days, before His return, the world would be like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Unfortunately for the clerics, God is also angry with the false prophets and promoters of false religions like theirs.

I am not sure why God allowed this disaster. I know it His mercy that preserves all of our lives, but we rarely ask why about the good days. We just take those for granted.

The days are coming when God's real judgment and wrath will be poured out. And this tsunami will look like a picnic. Because of the murder (including abortion and euthanasia), theft, adultery, fornication, idolatry, witchcraft, drunkenness and drug abuse, and for shedding the blood of His prophets and saints, God will pour out His fiery wrath on this world unlike it ever has been before. In two quick strokes, half of the earth's population will be destroyed. And this will not be the end. Imagine: not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions, but BILLIONS DEAD. Can you imagine those headlines, if anyone is left to write them? People will become a scarce commodity like gold. And for all of this, there are some who still will not repent to give God glory.

Have a nice day, everyone.
