Tsunami meant to punish Christians, says Islamic clerics

Post by Joe »

http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/200 ... -9121r.htm

The killer wave that swallowed tens of thousands of Muslims was an act of Allah designed to punish the Christians. So went the convoluted logic of some Muslim imams in recent sermons from Saudi Arabia to the Palestinian territories.

If it weren't for the diligent monitoring of Muslim clerics by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Americans would be in the dark about the outpourings of dangerous drivel fed to devout Muslims gathered in mosques for Friday prayers.

Saudi cleric Muhammad Al-Munajiid explained God's tsunami punishment of Christians stemmed from "the Christian holidays [that] are accompanied by forbidden things, by immorality, abomination, adultery, alcohol, drunken dancing and revelry. A belly dancer costs 2,500 pounds a minute and a singer costs 50,000 pounds an hour, and they hop from one hotel to another from night to dawn.

"Then they spend the entire night defying Allah. ... At the height of immorality, Allah took revenge on these criminals. ... Allah struck them with an earthquake. He finished off the Richter scale. All nine levels gone."

In the same vein, Sheikh Mudeiris, at a Palestinian Friday sermon in Gaza, said, "When oppression and corruption increase, the law of equilibrium applies. I can see in your eyes you are wondering what is the 'universal law of equilibrium.' This law is a divine law. If people are remiss in implementing God's law and in being zealous and vengeful for His sake, Allah unleashes his soldiers in action to take revenge."

In Saudi Arabia, one of last year's measures to counter mosque-generated violence was a ban on imam's using the word "jihad," or holy warrior. But the content hadn't changed much without the banned word. Saudi cleric 'Aed Al-Qarni told the worshippers, "Throats must be slit and skulls must be shattered. This is the path to victory." He was reacting to the death of a brother "killed by the brothers of apes and pigs, the murderers of the prophets." In case there was any doubt, he was referring to the Jews of Israel.

He then deplored lamented the lack of Muslim backbone: "One billion two hundred million nobodies. We are incapable of taking action, of being useful, of harming the Jews. The most people do today is to verbally protest over the TV channels or to demonstrate. What is the use of this? ... We must sacrifice people like Abd Al-Aziz Al-Rantisi, and Ahmad Yassin, and thousands of others. Houses and young men must be sacrificed. Throats must be slit and skulls must be shattered. This is the path to victory, to shahada and to sacrifice."

Imam Al-Qani went to explain the "idolatrous" people of Vietnam, Cambodia and South Africa, "nations with no calling or divine law make sacrifices ... in people, blood and souls. All the more reason we should too, the nation of Islam."

Saudi clerics have also urged Iraqis to resist "the American occupation of Iraq." They can urge jihad without the proscribed word for holy war.

Saudi Sheikh Fawzan Fawzan said God's unlisted number informed him the tsunami was punishment for homosexual behavior and fornication over Christmas, even if the victims are Muslims. "All that's left for us to do," he said, "is to ask for forgiveness. We must atone for our sins, and for the acts of the stupid people among us. ... We must fight fornication, homosexuality, usury, fight the corruption on the face of the Earth, and the disregard of the lives of protected people."

Erm... If I were to take my guesses, I would say that the majority of those killed were not Christian. Apparently Allah has seriously bad aim.

No, I think Allah has perfect aim. The muslims killed were not killed, they were *martyred*

Well lunatic, why waste a good edge when a wave will do?

If the majority killed were Muslims, what does that tell us about Allah's opinion of his followers?

Logic is harsh mistress.
Many thanks! These darned computers always screw me up. I calculated my first death-toll using a hand-cranked adding machine (we actually calculated the average mortality in each city block individually). Ah, those were the days.

Says the fuckers who in their muslim brotherhood have given a fucking PITTANCE compared to the Great Satan and the evil evil West. Guess those fucked up Christian ideals and morals have made us generous as well as blaspehmous and evil. Seriously these fuckers need to be walled off and left to their love affair with the 13th cnetury. With any luck they'll die off and we can move on in this little thing we in the civilized West like to call progress.

Well, in Indonesia they're used to "holy warriors" killing more of their own people than of the people they're actually targeting, so it' not much of a stretch to consider that Allah would do much the same thing, only better.

In the Old Testament, the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God routinely punishes the entirety of Israel (women, children, young and old) for the sins of women wearing fancy clothes or men marrying non-Jews. This flood was no doubt meant to punish those Muslims who foolishly associate with the evil westerners, by punishing their entire country.

Actually, this is not unique in real history either. The ancient Romans had a policy of punishing deserters by killing their innocent children and wives. Murdering the innocent to send a message to the guilty is a very traditional way of doing things.

I'd be more optimistic about the prospects of doing that if we could even bring Kansas into the 21st century.

Does it make me a very sick puppy that when I read this I got an image in my head of a twisted version of Fiddler on the Roof, where the father comes in and starts spraying the shack with an M60?

Technically God kept his word since he promised not to kill everyone.

Nuts, you're right! I remembered it as God saying he wouldn't use floods to kill people/animals again. Curses.

It's one of those dumbass statements that you can't even blame on bad translation, because it's just the sort of thing an idiot like that would say.

I wonder if the dumbfuck had even heard of the Richter scale before the disaster...
