Not Quite Fanatic

Pakistan has now been hit by a huge disaster. There has been major loss of life, especially among the young. It parallels the disaster in Louisiana in several ways - and differs in a few distinct ways.
One of the ways is that no one has yet blamed God for the events.
I have not read anything anywhere that implies that God has smote this Islamic land for the sin of recruiting terrorists, or for hating God's Chosen, the Americans, or, for that matter, for allowing abortions.
Are we finally starting to grow up?

No actually some Pakistani bloggers started to cry in this particular way, blaming God's wrath for the earthquake. But it was just right after the initial news. Later on when everyone realized that something terrible has happened they totally forgot God's wrath. Now we are all working together to help those affected. Please donate.

I would like to add that yes you are right. It is different from Louisiana specially in that particular way. Even the conservatives are now calling it a test. And by the way Majority of Pakistanis do not hate Americans we love Americans and thankful for the quick response from US government on our cry for help.
