The Blame Game
According to the Chicago Tribune, some Pakistanis see the terrible devastation in the wake of the October 8 earthquake as a message from up above. What is this message? Some say that there's too much filth on cable TV. Others that President Pervez Musharraf is wrong to support the U.S. war on terror and lead Pakistan on a path to modernization.
That some will see a heavenly hand behind natural disasters is as predictable as it is sickening. But just one question. How can these people be so certain what the message is? Couldn't they at least consider that the earthquake is a sign of displeasure with their extremism, their support of Bin Laden, and their intolerance?

Maybe they should consider that they've got the wrong religion altogether.
Or maybe the almighty doesn't like their food or music (and based on Katrina, Rita & Wilma, s/he doesnt like New Orleans jazz, country/western music or whatever shit they like in Florida) Of course my basement flooded the other but just a little- I think The Big Guy is hinting that I have the wrong long distance carrier.
Divine subtlety is not a strong point
Thank you! You know when they heard about Katrina they were dancing in the streets and saying it was the vengeance of Allah on the White Western Devil. But when shit comes down on their own heads they can't quite justify it the same way, can they? I got two words for the hijackers of the religion of peace: natural disaster. Deal with it.
