'Pakistan quake: God's wrath for Afghan invasion'
'Pakistan quake: God's wrath for Afghan invasion'Cashing on the devastation inflicted by the October 8 earthquake, Islamists in Pakistan have termed the temblor as ‘God's wrath’ on the country for the decision to desert Taliban and back the American ‘invasion’ of Afghanistan. Riaz Hussain Pirzada, a treasury member belonging to the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q, but considered close to Islamist alliance Muthahida Majlis Amal (MMA), told the National Assembly yesterday that the quake was ‘god's wrath’ for Pakistan's support of the US campaign. God was also ‘angry’ with Pakistan because "we welcomed the holy month of Ramzan by rigging the last phase of the local government elections," Pirzada said. After the earthquake, the refrain of many of the Islamist parties is that it is the ‘punishment’ for the country's decision to withdraw backing for Taliban and al-Qaeda and support US ‘invasion’ of Afghanistan.

I thought it was because Allah was angry that you did not fast correctly or pray long enough or ...
It is still funny to read what the Muslim thinks about earthquakes and their 'cause.' Is this the 7th century or the 21st century? They believe this stuff honestly. How do you deal with such a mental capacity?
It may soothe you to know that these so-called Islamists are actually highly corrupt exploiters sitting in a rubber-stamp parliament whose sole function is to agree with the dictates of president General Pervez Musharraf. I am a Pakistani living in Pakistan, and as far as my observation goes, the vast majority of people I have met do not consider this to be more than a natural disaster. If this quake were meant to be a punishment, then it would have destroyed the parliament building in Islamabad with all these corrupt individuals buried alive.
