In the wake of a disaster there are always things that you hear that are just pure crayyzee...

After the Tsunami I had the disgusting experience of hearing from a Scottish female convert to Islam that the Tsunami was God's punishment for all the sins of those poor victims..What were those sins? Well they had to do with her real obsessive fears of all things sexual and her rabid anti-semitism...neither of which has anything to do with Asia...This was after she gave me a lecture about Islam that made Islam sound very much like Catholicism..confused, confused.
After Katrina..Christian conservatives in the US were convincing people that the hurricane was God's punishment for abortions..and in Israel, the spiritual leader of the right wing Shas party suggests that it was America's punishment for the Gaza pullout..I googled Katrina and Gaza and got only sites that supported the theory on the first three pages of google..there is that much crazy going around.
Right now in the Pakistan a Muslim cleric is suggesting that the Earthquake was God's punishment for...are you ready for this... watching too much cable tv...

Funny how God always punishes innocent folks for the very 'sins' that fundamentalists are obsessed with..I say if you're looking for the devil...he's the one saying it's your fault a natural disaster tore your life and loved ones apart..and then probably didn't help you out unless it meant he could use it as a chance to convert you.

By the way..the earthquake victims need our help..It's not unusual for people to have turned off their compassion switches after all the emotional fuss that was rightly made over the Tsunami and Katrina...but 80,000 people are dead and thousands more homeless and in need and we are getting near the end of Ramadan...which is more than about sleeping all day and pigging out at night and trying to buy our way into heaven by hiding out in the mosque...
