Haiti Earthquake Relief: Where’s Islam?

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pictures and stories  from the Haiti earthquake are the stuff of nightmares:  orphaned children are sleeping amongst corpses, voices crying  from deep beneath dust and cinderblock gradually grow silent, blood runs in gutters, the dead are stacked  like cordwood, the injured are broken and gashed on cracked sidewalks waiting for help, aid agencies can barely fly, drive or walk through the broken infrastructures to help.

Nothing can be done soon enough. 

As usual, the United States through every official and personal means, is leading the rescue and care  of earthquake victims.  Every day folks have given millions through their cellphones and online donations, military and national guard have scrambled, our former president is on the scene, our current president has committed $100 million as of today.

Israel has 121 rescue personnel in Haiti–40 doctors, five search and rescue teams. The United Nations sends $10M, UK $10M, Cuba, Brazil, Canada, France, Australia, Netherlands, China, Russia, Greece,The World Bank donates $100M, the International Monetary Fund also $100 M, Japan, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have given half a million to Doctors Without Borders..and so on.

Here is a list of donations from organizations and countries so far.

Out of all the lists of donations and charitable giving, excuse me, but where are the Muslim countries? 

Where is the “religion of peace”?   Saudi Arabia scrambled luxury  jets to Guantanamo Bay prison earlier this year to bring 9/11 Islamo terrorists “home” to heroes welcomes and “rehabilitation” in luxury resorts,  goodness knows the Saudis have a few dillion oil dollars in a drawer or two.  Where is the Saudi relief effort to Haiti?   How about Dubai, where they see fit to build the world’s tallest building as a testimony to themselves?  How about Libya?  Muammar Khadaffy is in the middle of a multi-billion dollar renovation of his capital city and airport after successfully trading the Lockerbie bomber for an oil deal with British Petroleum.  Muammar surely has spare shekels.

When the entire world is converging on a tiny, smashed-up island whose residents are dying every minute, where is official Islam?

A group called Islamic Relief USA is helping in Haiti.  It  is an American agency.

Muslims wouldn’t happen to be looking the other way  just  because Haiti is  85% percent Roman Catholic and 10% Christian, would they??

 Jews were expelled from all French colonies, including Haiti, in 1683.  Israel was one of the first countries to send aid this week.
