WHEN THE EARTH MOVES
Homosexuality, fornication cause of tsunami?
Saudi professor says sinful acts at Christmastime caused disaster
A Muslim Saudi professor says the earthquake and tsunami in south Asia were punishment from Allah for homosexuality and fornication committed by residents and visitors of affected countries at Christmastime.
A television interview of Sheik Fawzan Al-Fawzan, a professor at the Al-Imam University, was translated and posted on the Internet by the Middle East Media Research Institute TV Monitor Project, or MEMRI TV. The interview can be viewed on MEMRI's website.
"These great tragedies and collective punishments that are wiping out villages, towns, cities and even entire countries, are Allah's punishments of the people of these countries, even if they are Muslims," stated Al-Fawzan. "Some of our forefathers said that if there is usury and fornication in a certain village, Allah permits its destruction."
The professor singled out beach resorts as places of sexual sin.
"We know that at these resorts, which unfortunately exist in Islamic and other countries in south Asia, and especially at Christmas, fornication and sexual perversion of all kinds are rampant," he said. "The fact that it happened at this particular time is a sign from Allah. It happened at Christmas, when fornicators and corrupt people from all over the world come to commit fornication and sexual perversion. That's when this tragedy took place, striking them all and destroyed everything. It turned the land into wasteland, where only the cries of the ravens are heard. I say this is a great sign and punishment on which Muslims should reflect."
Al-Fawzan urged Muslims to atone for their sin.
"All that's left for us to do is to ask for forgiveness We must atone for our sins and for the acts of the stupid people among us and improve our condition. We must fight fornication, homosexuality, usury, fight the corruption on the face of the earth, and the disregard of the lives of protected people."
If the Almighty were truly trying to make such a point, San Francisco would have been wiped out by a tsunami; not most of the coast of the Indian Ocean.
San Franciscans had better be running for high ground!
So stupid idea, it doesn't deserve any other comment.
LOL...GMTA...
Wait a sec ... Let me find that post I made earlier tonight:
Throughout history, a reckoning has always come for civilizations stuck centuries behind the norm -- education or extermination.
Yeah. That's the one.
When a man mounts another man, the Throne of Allah shakes. So if that causes an Earthquake, does that mean the Throne of Allah is located in the depths of the Earth? Like, for instance, maybe, in the molten core?
A corollary question would be concerned with masturbation... Furry palms and blindness? LOL
I think this clown has been SMOKING his tin-foil hat......
It's also very curious that Mullahs can fulminate about homosexuality like this and organizations like GLAAD don't say boo.
professor???
a real mental giant....
Hey newbie. Hang around here for about six months and you will discover that we have a lot of fun, much of it is sarcasm and series jokes that cause hugh laughter.
All our jokes are belong to us.
Yeah, if Allah couldn't get all the way to San Francisco or Amsterdam or Rio de Janeiro you'd think he could've at least smited Bangkok a bit..
Its odd that Arafat could plunge into his body guards and no one ever said a word.
It's only "intolerant" and a "hate crime" if a white Christian says such things. If the Mullahs say it, it's time for "cultural sensitivity"!
What these Politically-Correct Leftists don't realize is that the Mullahs will line their Liberal butts FIRST to be shot and hanged. All their squeals about how they're on the Islamofascist's side will get them little more than a sardonic laugh from their turban'd tormentors.
Dilemmasville.
What else do you expect him to say?
Buh-bye Mecca and Medina.
And here I was thinking that this was God's job. Duh.
