Just makes me
. Wonder what he would be writing had the United States left him under Saddam's boot for the last 14 years? More sad evidence of the futility of trying to win their hearts and minds without a fundamental shift in their religious outlook.
Miserable, sarcastic, no-good, bite-the-hand-that-saved-you scumbag!

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]."
