Recently we discussed how Syrians were taking credit for sending Hurricane Sandy to devastate the United States as punishment for our opposition to the Assad regime. According to these sources, the hurricane was the creation of Iranian scientists and we noted that Christian ministers like Pat Robertson have long treated hurricanes as simple divine punishment — not some manufactured Sharia storm. Now, some Muslim clerics have shifted the account to a more traditional “God’s vengeance” theory. Clerics are telling the faithful that the hurricane was punishment for the recent YouTube video, “Innocence of Muslims.” Thank God it was only a trailer. It is frightening to imagine what would have been sent for the full-length movie.
Cleric Wagdi Ghoneim in Egypt noted “[s]ome people wonder about the hurricane in America and its causes. In my opinion, it is revenge from God for the beloved prophet.” Of course, the filmmaker was located across the country and it also shredded countries like Cuba, but Ghoneim sees clear evidence of divine justice.
In Saudi Arabia, prominent cleric Salman al-Audah said the storm was a wake-up call for Americans to convert to Islam. That may be difficult with both Islamic and Christian figures claiming control of natural disasters for their respective hurricane-based forms of divine judgment. It would be much easier if the religions would just divvy up natural disasters to avoid confusion as people run from religion to religion after disasters. Muslims could have earthquakes, Christians can have hurricanes, Buddhists can have cyclones, and Jews can have drought. Agnostics could be left with occasional flooding (“your lack of secularist beliefs has led to the dank smell in your basement and soggy rug pads.”).
We can all then rest easy that our natural disasters are correctly attributed to their respective divine sources. We would also save money on those charlatans at the National Hurricane Center claiming natural causes for these disasters. They could instead track rising immorality in different areas of the world with the chance of inclement divine judgment.
Of course, none of this is stranger than citing the Redskins defeat yesterday as an omen of an approaching Obama defeat In the 18 presidential elections that have taken place since the Redskins moved to Washington in 1937, 17 have been predicted by the team’s performance in its final home game prior to the election — a win favors the incumbent, a loss favors the presidential challenger. Of course this ignores the clearest and unmistakable evidence of divine judgment on Sunday: the victory of God’s team (The Bears) by 51-20 over the Titans. Nothing short of divine judgment could produce such a score. For those of us who have long seen the hand of God in the Monsters of the Midway, this was no surprise and could be a good omen for the Chicago-based candidate. For my part, Muslims can have hurricanes and Christians can have earthquakes. I will take the Bears.

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great.
I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going to
a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon everyday.
It’s always helpful to read through articles from other authors and use something from their web sites.
Very excellent post, i’m currently in the process of considering bankruptcy|applying for bankruptcy|declaring bankruptcy} because i have no other choice I’m also looking at no credit check banking.
Do you have a twitter account I can follow?
You know, I can surely understand folks thinking that god (a/k/a Allah) sent Sandy to mess up New York; I can understand folks thinking that god (a/k/a those other words) has sent the other storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. to kill off all those people. Why not? The flood? Sodom and Gomorrah? The ten sons of Aaron? Adam and Eve in the garden? Do you see the defendant in this room?
people don’t know the pope was told to stay home, and don’t go to any countries. cuba accepted the pope against MY will and cris cristie spoke against ME on every thing that I posted on other sites. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT I AM A PRICK. WE froze out a cherry crop because they are selling off the PROMISED LAND, and the clerics still tell you they are the way to JESUS, when JESUS said that HE was the way to GOD.
these things ARE WRITTEN in THE BIBLE even though THE BIBLE was written by men who thought the earth was flat.
what is not known by the general public is that when I write I know that Vlad is reading as well as the Chinese. it says that I will go around everything and leave the church behind.
Vlad will get together with that sob in washington d.c. and tell him that the earth was destroyed in a nuclear war that I started over four years ago.
I am the one who told you that I would get bin laden and give him to obama over four years ago. I also write on, “about exploitative christianity group sects” along with the lunatics.
I just haven’t been able to STAND it all day! (I can’t post on here from work anymore; they took WordPress away from us–can see it, but not post!) But ya’ll were talkin’ about my BOY Neil! I can’t believe he’s still around doing his thang! With all that’s been going on lately, and people being bullied and killed by govt, I’ve been wondering where he has been hiding out! (This one came out back when George was in office; he needs to do an updated this one for this administration too!) But this song totally rocked! (As all his songs do!) Neil calls em like he sees em. I still remember how powerful his song ”Ohio” was.
