Saudi professor says sinful acts at Christmastime caused disaster
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42242


A Muslim Saudi professor says the earthquake and tsunami in south Asia were punishment from Allah for homosexuality and fornication committed by residents and visitors of affected countries at Christmastime.

"These great tragedies and collective punishments that are wiping out villages, towns, cities and even entire countries, are Allah's punishments of the people of these countries, even if they are Muslims," stated Al-Fawzan. "Some of our forefathers said that if there is usury and fornication in a certain village, Allah permits its destruction."

The professor singled out beach resorts as places of sexual sin.
"We know that at these resorts, which unfortunately exist in Islamic and other countries in south Asia, and especially at Christmas, fornication and sexual perversion of all kinds are rampant," he said. "The fact that it happened at this particular time is a sign from Allah. It happened at Christmas, when fornicators and corrupt people from all over the world come to commit fornication and sexual perversion. That's when this tragedy took place, striking them all and destroyed everything. It turned the land into wasteland, where only the cries of the ravens are heard. I say this is a great sign and punishment on which Muslims should reflect."


"All that's left for us to do is to ask for forgiveness We must atone for our sins and for the acts of the stupid people among us and improve our condition. We must fight fornication, homosexuality, usury, fight the corruption on the face of the earth, and the disregard of the lives of protected people."

1. any similarity to Falwell and Robertson...

5. The spirit of Christmas:
...It happened at Christmas, when fornicators and corrupt people from all over the world come to commit fornication and sexual perversion...

Who knew that's what other people do each Christmas? I sit by the chimney waiting for presents.

6. And touchdowns in a football game is the direct result of the piety
of the ball carrier.

13. If that's true...
How come the Saints and Cardinals suck? If Gawd really cared, you'd think the Saints would be in every Super Bowl...
"And it's the Saints over the Cardinals by two hail Mary's..."

7. How does he know what goes on there- is there sex in public places?
"fornicators and corrupt people from all over the world come to commit fornication and sexual perversion"

The dirtiest place in the world is in some of the fundy religious men's minds.

9. You got that right.
Even the darkest heathens I know don't frolic as much as the figurines dancing inside some of these pervert's minds.

11. classic reaction...
It's what happens when your god tells you that a basic part of you (sexuallity) is bad, and you should be punished for feeling. Twists people all wrong.

10. If the sound bombings can't cause an earthquake
I hate to think how energetically those folks were going at it to cause such an event to occur.

14. The birth of the Prince of Peace is used as a justification for wide scale
Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 06:20 PM by acmavm
death and destruction? (the reason being ALWAYS of a sexual nature.) Frigging fundy fruitcake. Just like our own homegrown crazy fool idiots.


edit: can't spell

15. There was a minister from a Pentecostal church who went on a trip
and watched some "adult" films while he was staying in a hotel by himself. The names of the films didn't show up on the bill, but he submitted it for reimbursement from the Church, and somehow they found out it was porn. Well the guy had to confess his sins to the church and take a 3 month leave without pay because of his sin. The person who told me this thought it was especially bad because he was responsible for working with teenagers....

I listened and nodded while she was telling me this, and I kept thinking I felt so sorry for him. Lesson learned: Next time he should pay in cash.

17. Well, that makes sense
especially if the visitors were doing a lot of the fornicating and usuring and stuff. You have to be really selective about who to invite to frolic on the beach that you yourself can't afford to frolic on, because Allah might nuke it.

19. Islam and Christianity
are both big on this whole "bad things happen because God is punishing us" nonsense.

Him and Falwell should get together. The two nut jobs have more in common than they realize.
