Islamic Relief USA officials announced Wednesday they were flying $1 million of aid to Haiti in cooperation with the LDS Church.

Here’s an interesting question .... What’s the difference between an 2000 yr old Gnostic heretic and a Current Era Mormon Heretic? (answer: The first gets his THEOLOGY from Greek philosophy, the second gets his understanding of God from a fraud and charlatan named Joseph Smith).
As far as the Sumaritan is concerned, one whould ask, are you helping for his glory or your own.
SO you would have expected the islamic relief fund to work with the Salvation Army? If they had, would we be attacking the Salvation Army?
If I see an Arab man putting money in the Salvation Army pot at Christmas, should I call up the national organization and complain about it?
What is your point?
Apparently, the Islamic Relief fund has a relationship with the LDS relief organization, which is mutually helpful toward getting aid to people who need it. So it’s not just that the islamist organization doesn’t have boots to go on the ground in Haiti, it’s something that is already set up.
It seems to involve the fact that the Islamic Relief organization has lots of money from our foreign oil purchases, which can be used to help people in times of need. The LDS has lots of volunteers willing to risk their lives to help others, and an effective organization for delivering that help.
I’m not sure why FR is actually complaining about non-government-funded relief efforts now, except that it plays into the hatred some people have for muslims and mormons.
Read that LA Times link at #26...
Its eyeball poppin’...
Right now, God’s children are dying horrifically and need all the help they can get. I see this as two groups of people trying to help, as best they can. It sounds like the Mormons had the supplies and the Muslims had the funds. Rather that fight among each other, they partnered to help their brothers and sisters.
God knows their hearts, but I say, get the help their as quickly as possible!!!!!
Precious...
Now hang over your teeth...
If obama hooked the US effort up with the Red Crescent, would you complain?
I think I might. I would think we could do humanitarian effort on our own, and let the Red Crescent do their humanitarian effort on their own.
Everyone helping. Isn’t that the point?
Ouch...
Why did the Mormons need the Muslim’s funds. I don’t get it.
Mormons are supposedly one of the richest religious organizations in America.
I’ll ask you - why islamic fascist? Why not other organizations that have already established bases there for decades. Again why islamic fascists?
More like "Point, set, match!"
God bless you, Reagenesque. God bless those Mormons out there assisting their fellow man. May more armchair "Christians" emulate them.
Larry Larry Larry ...... why did the ldsers partner with islamic fascist and not other organizations already established there for decades?
oooohhhhhhh Personal attack, try harder, but thanks for playing.
You threw the first pitch, hon.
None were my home and one was my health club.......
I’m pretty sure the LDS church was partnering with Islamic charitable organization during the 2004 Tsunami as they have a large presence in the affected areas. Contrary to some thinking, not all Islamic charities are covers for terrorist organizations...
