Kuwaiti: 'The terrorist Katrina' is a soldier of Allah'

Muhammad Yousef Al-Mlaifi, director of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Endowment's research center, published an article titled "The Terrorist Katrina is One of the Soldiers of Allah, But Not an Adherent of Al-Qaeda."(1) the Aug. 31 edition of the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa. Following are excerpts:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"...As I watched the horrible sights of this wondrous storm, I was reminded of the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah [in the compilations] of Al-Bukhari and Abu Daoud. The Hadith says: 'The wind is of the wind of Allah, it comes from mercy or for the sake of torment. When you see it, do not curse it, [but rather] ask Allah for the good that is in it, and ask Allah for shelter from its evil.'

"When the satellite channels reported on the scope of the terrifying destruction in America [caused by] this wind, I was reminded of the words of [Prophet Muhammad]: 'The wind sends torment to one group of people, and sends mercy to others.' I do not think — and only Allah [really] knows — that this wind, which completely wiped out American cities in these days, is a wind of mercy and blessing. It is almost certain that this is a wind of torment and evil that Allah has sent to this American empire.


"But I began to ask myself: Doesn't this country [the U.S.] claim to aspire to establish justice, freedom, and equality amongst the people? Isn't this country claiming that everything it did in Afghanistan and Iraq was for truth and justice? How can it be that these American claims are untrue, when we see how good prevails in the streets of Afghanistan, and how it became an oasis of security with America's entrance there? How can these American claims in the matter of Iraq be untrue, when we see that Iraq has become the most tranquil and secure country in the world?"

"But how strange it is that after all the tremendous American achievements for the sake of humanity, these mighty winds come and evilly rip [America's] cities to shreds? Have the storms joined the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization?

"How sad I am for America. Here it is, poor thing, trying with all its might to lower oil prices which have reached heights unprecedented in all history. Along with America's phenomenal efforts to lower the price of oil in order to salvage its declining economy and its currency — that is still falling due to the 'smart' policy America is implementing in the world — comes this storm, the fruit of Allah's planning, so that [the price of] a barrel of oil will increase further still. By Allah, this is not schadenfreude.

"Oh honored gentlemen, I began to read about these winds, and I was surprised to discover that the American websites that are translated [into Arabic] are talking about the fact that that the storm Katrina is the fifth equatorial storm to strike Florida this year... and that a large part of the U.S. is subject every year to many storms that extract [a price of] dead, and completely destroy property. I said, Allah be praised, until when will these successive catastrophes strike them?

"But before I went to sleep, I opened the Koran and began to read in Surat Al-R'ad ['The Thunder' chapter], and stopped at these words [of Allah]: 'The disaster will keep striking the unbelievers for what they have done, or it will strike areas close to their territory, until the promise of Allah comes to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.' [Koran 13:31]."

So, is this WHY our ORDINACE keeps raining down on their heads ?!?!?!

Makes one consider the possibility of pulling out of Iraq, putting Sadam back in power and handing him Kuwait...again.

Thankless bastards.

Funny, you never hear them talk about what the "soldier of Allah" has brought Muslims over the last 1,000 years:

No education, starvation, extreme poverty, filth, drought, brutal totalitarianism, stonings, polio, leishmaniasis, etc., and that's just for starters...

Yeah, you never hear that side of the story do you, LOL!!!

I was just waiting for someone in the peanut gallery to praise Allah for Katrina. Quite frankly I am suprised that it took this long. Its funny how Allah gets mad at us for being wicked but when earthquakes kill hundreds of thousands in Iran or Turkey not one peep from the peanut gallery.

There was a weapons system a while ago which the U.S. was supposedly looking at which involved a satellite with large i-beams sitting in it. The satellite would recieve a GPS coordinate and drop an Ibeam, which would accelerate through the atmosphere. When it hit something (like a tank) it would simply vaporize it. All that would be seen was a heat wave and then lighting would hit the spot where the tank had formally been. Never finished it because it would weaponise space, but I wonder who the moslems would think Allah was with when we called down some of those things!
"Oh, so you won't tell me where UBL is. Okay... [points hand to yonder house] KRAKOW!"
