Today, some Muslims are celebrating the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. While this of course is not representative of all Muslims, it is sad nonetheless. When natural disasters strike the Muslim world, America is there to help.
Here’s one example of Muslims celebrating.
A Muslim man posted the following question on a popular Islamic website:
| "Should we celebrate and be
happy watching the Hurricane destroy several states in the US, or should we sympathize with our fellow human beings?" |
Sheik and Dr. Nasser Alomar issued a lengthy response at http://www.elmokhalestv.com/index/details/id/43779.
Here are some excerpts from that response, translated into English:
| We
and Allah should be happy and we should celebrate for what has come against the prideful tyrants. America is the leader of oppression and tyranny throughout this century and it uses its money to oppress the Muslim people and Muslim nations from the far East to the far West… Why shouldn't we celebrate when the prophet Muhammad said: "Oh Allah force your might on those who harm us." Shouldn't we celebrate and be happy when Allah answer the prayers of the oppressed?… The wind that is destroying America is a blessing from Allah, we should be thankful and be happy "to God belongs the order before and after; and on that day the believers shall rejoice, in the help of Allah;- Allah helps whom He will, and He is mighty, merciful.-" Quran: AR-Room 30:4-5 |
