'Earthquake was God's punishment for sinners'
2006-11-10
Dr Farhat Hashmi, who now runs a thriving Islamic and Quranic “education” school in Toronto, has said that the devastating October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir was God’s punishment for sinners.
I agree. I think they were punished because they're Muslims.
She told the newspaper Globe and Mail in an interview, “The people in the area where the earthquake hit were involved in immoral activities and God has said that he will punish those who do not follow his path.”
The "immoral activity" consists of bonking their heads toward Mecca five times a day, then beating their wives and conducting jihad against their neighbors. They do that sort of thing in Muzafarrabad and you see what happens. When was the last time an earthquake hit Columbus, Ohio? Or Saskatoon? Or Kierkenes? Or Blagoveshchensk?
The newspaper noted, while reporting Dr Hashmi’s obiter dicta that “thousands of children were buried alive in their schools in the earthquake”.
Immoral children, apparently.
She told her class in the presence of the Globe and Mail reporter, in Urdu, that it was God’s punishment for transgressors. While she spoke, her class of women, overwhelmingly Pakistani-Canadians, mostly young, nodded and murmured in agreement. “We must understand why such calamities take place,” Dr Hashmi said.
Just a hint: That sort of thing doesn't happen in Lutheran countries.

#4  Worship the words of a paedophile cult-leader and you sub-civilisation will be so backward, you cannot cope with earthquakes.
