I couldn’t get any thing from this
How can we draw the lines in between two coincidences …?
Even same thing happened when bomb attacks on London 7 July incident, after one month later in Pakistan train accident, how we can draw the parallel line in between accident and incident.
(In July, Three passenger trains have collided in southern Pakistan, killing at least 132 people and injuring hundreds more)
I too read so many words like ‘tit for tat’ when Pakistan accident happened in U.K based web logs. How this Karma principles works I couldn’t understand
I can’t quote those blogs because I am against that type of muddling.
The mentioned countries government aiding Katrina with full heart
(*Bahrain: $5 million donation to assist with relief
* Iran: Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza-Asefi said Sunday his country is willing to help, if "there is a need for such relief assistance." The aid would be given through the Red Crescent Society, he told reporters
* Kuwait: Government has asked parliament to approve an emergency aid package of $500 million in humanitarian aid and petroleum. "We as Kuwaitis feel that we must stand alongside our friends to alleviate this humanitarian hardship," Minister of Energy Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahd said in a statement to the Kuwait News Agency.
*Qatar: Offers $100 million to assist in the humanitarian crisis triggered by Hurricane Katrina) Qatar is highest contributor till this moment, South Arabia given open option even Afghanistan also helping we can’t judge the things with one blogger.
Once pretty insured dog is another one’s delicious food, once praising animal delicious food to another like once hated animal another angel food in breakfast.
It’s all beliefs of individual we can’t deny as long as it harms to some one.
My personnel opinion where ever the loss of human being was bereaved.
(apart from his colour/caste/religion/creed/race etc)

'Allah's soldier', Islamist bloggers hail Katrina

Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged the US Gulf coast this week, has incited a storm of enthusiasm among Islamist bloggers who claim the destruction was sent by God to torment the American empire.
Katrina causes unprecedented destruction
'Superdome increasingly unsafe'
Red Cross asks for help
Coast Guard's rescue mission
Florida helps out hurricane victims
"Katrina, a soldier sent by God to fight on our side... the soldier Katrina joins us to fight against America," said one Islamite web site.
Another said: "Allahu akbar (God is greatest). Soldiers of God, Hurricane Katrina demolishes America. Don't think that God doesn't care about the injustices of tyrants."
Internet sites published dozens of photos showing crumbled buildings, overturned cars, flooded streets, devastated oil refineries, residents wading through muck and water and US flags ripped to shreds by the hurricane that wreaked havoc in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
The pictures should "serve as a lesson," one blogger said. "In spite of being a superpower and of its technological development, America was unable to cope with the power of the Almighty," the writer said.
Another blogger, who decorated his site with photos of Al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Iraq's most-wanted man Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said: "America observes silence over its human losses."
These perspectives were not limited to the Internet. A Kuwaiti Arabic-language newspaper published similar comments by the director of the Kuwaiti ministry of endowment's research center, Mohammed Yussef al-Mlaifi.
"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 Mohammed): 'The wind sends torment to one group of people, and sends mercy to others.'
"I do not think -- and only Allah 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," he said in the daily Al-Siyassa.
"But how strange it is that after all the tremendous American achievements for the sake of humanity, these mighty winds come and evilly rip cities to shreds? Have the storms joined the Al-Qaeda terrorist organisation?"
He also cited a passage he found in the Koran: "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."
Many bloggers drew parallels between the destruction caused by the storm and that brought by US military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and blasted US President George W. Bush's "war on terror."
"America fights Islam in the name of the war against terrorism, kills innocents in Afghanistan and Iraq and supports the Zionist entity (Israel)," said one site, then listing two dozen curses -- habitually used by Islamist radicals at the end of prayers -- against the United States.
Amid all the criticism, at least one blogger spoke out in defense of the victims, saying he was "exasperated at the rejoicing over the misfortunes of Americans."
"Certainly, the leaders of the United States have oppressed many people, but the citizen... is in no way guilty."
A few web sites had also cast blame on South Asian countries hit by last year's tsunami that killed more than 125,000 people, saying "the hand of God" was involved.
Back then, one scribe described the tsunami as "divine vengeance against Thailand, a country of debauchery."
Katrina is estimated to have killed thousands in the affected regions and caused widespread property damage.

Katrina Effect and aftermath
Every one heard about this nature’s calamity in United States gulf coast in 3states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama)
Here we need to focus on few things
USA worlds bread basket
High powered country (physically and economically)
High technology used country.
His satellites catching the pics of Iraq chemical dumps, men destructing weapons, failed to forecast the weather and Katrina effect?
He sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan to save the people from rebels but in this gulf coast a lot of people are home less several thousands missing ,bodies floating on water, old people and kids looking for food and water ,people getting anger loosing temper, looting, rape, crime reports ,violence, theft etc..
Why declares lately SOS, why given shoot to kill the people?
Why neglecting the people there, declared emergency? Why Zero tolerance?
Is this sign to any thing?
Where is the law and order ,where are the human rights ?
Why he send the national guards very lately?
Where it’s going? Because of this shock too many for economy?
Most of the countries economy depends upon USA economy directly and indirectly is this leads to collapse of developing countries economy?
Hello friends and fellow American residents please share Ur experiences and thoughts
