Well, A-B.....it struck me as a bit ironic that 3 months ago our firemen and ambulance personnel were picking over the wreckage (human and mechanical) that was caused by young men who originated in that country......who had training in the religious schools over there......who were brainwashed into believing that the country that they had adopted so willingly was evil and wicked......and who are the first people to line up and go out there to search for survivors.....to put their skills at the disposal of the people.....Yes, our firemen and ambulance personnel. And where does this muslim country look for aid.....why, the WEST.....and before anyone starts accusing me of racism.....I am not being racist......just stating facts.

I know there are lots of people over in Kashmir and Pakistan who have lost their lives in this tragedy......and I wouldn't wish this kind of event on anyone. But I just wish that when the fundamentalist Muslim clerics are spouting their venom, they will remember where aid has come from.

When Hurricane Katrina devastated the US, there were some muslims who rejoiced and said it was the judgemnet of Allah.......I wonder what these same people are thinking now.
