Toronto Islamist Website Calls Sandy a ‘Divine Slap’ in Face of U.S. ‘Arrogance’

Canadian Islamist Website Crescent International Calls Sandy a Divine Slap in Face of US Arrogance

Screen shot from Crescent International’s unsigned blog post

A pro-Islamist website in Toronto is calling Hurricane Sandy “a divine slap on the face” of American “arrogance.”

The website of Crescent International, which calls itself the “newsmagazine of the Islamic movement,” published an unsigned post which concluded by saying: “Hurricane Sandy, as a divine slap on the face of arrogance, is smashing its way through the Eastern Coast of the US.”

The post also criticizes the U.S. for allowing women the right to vote.

Canada’s National Post reports that Crescent International “often promotes the worldview of Iran’s repressive regime.” The paper writes:

The website is run by the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought. Zafar Bangash, director of the institute, said Tuesday he did not write the post, headlined: “Hurricane Sandy delivers slap on US face.”

“We have a number of bloggers that put on stuff on our website but that particular writer perhaps felt that it was a slap on the face of the U.S. government and its policies,” he said.

Asked to elaborate, Mr. Bangash, who was reached at the Islamic Society of York Region, the federally registered charity that lists him as a director, said he did not believe he would be quoted accurately and hung up.

In the Islamist group’s post, the unidentified contributor derides the fact that women enjoy the right to vote in the U.S., because it might be “housewives” who end up casting the deciding ballots in swing states:

The real cliffhanger is Ohio where housewives will decide who becomes the next US president.

While the overwhelming majority of Americans are quite ignorant about issues beyond their concern for jobs, the fact that Ohio housewives will determine who should occupy the White House to decide on such weighty matters as dealing with the Middle East, Iran’s nuclear program or US relations with Russia is quite amusing, and revealing.

This is what American democracy is all about.

The blog writer also mocks President Barack Obama’s behavior in the wake of the storm:

In the meantime, as the storm batters homes and cities, Obama tries to look and act presidential pretending that he is more interested in people’s well being than worrying about electioneering. This of course is nonsense. He is trying to act presidential because he thinks it would garner him more sympathy and therefore support.

The writer took the opportunity to also slam Wall Street: “Even the Wall Street sharks were powerless before God’s fury.”

Writer Steve Merti of the Daily Brew blog on Yahoo cautions against using the intolerance Crescent International is promoting to jump to conclusions about the response of all Muslim groups and even Islamist extremists to the hurricane. He writes:

Even Islamic terrorist leader Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the architect of the 2008 Mumbai attacks who has a $10-million U.S. price on his head, said his organization is ready to help Americans cope with Sandy.

“We are ready to send food items, medicines and doctors to the US for the people affected by the storm,” Saeed said, according to India’s First Post.

He said though the United States had put a bounty on his head, it was the duty of Muslims to help fellow human beings, irrespective of their faith, during a natural catastrophe.

Merti also reports that Islamic Relief USA sent a “disaster assistance response team” to help those in New Jersey impacted by the storm.

I don’t suppose this Islamist website has the information of a meteor hit in or on the area known as Iran in the near future. It is an unique possibility that it can happen

I’d prefer we just leave them alone and stop immigration. It’s someone else problem until they can learn how to build a ocean capable fleet. I have a feeling they’d end up taking care of themselves.

  Problem there, is that it would take a single nuke, exploded in the upper atmosphere, to disrupt all electronics within the US (except for the most hardened of equipment). Iran is no more than 2-3 years away from a viable nuke weapon, it has the technology and is honestly just missing the materials. Israel believes that Iran could have enough nuke matter to build a weapon by Feb 2013.
  
  The current administration would have you believe that Iran does not have any platform available to launch a nuclear weapon. I put forward that the USSR misplaced hundreds of thousands of such platforms over the last 20 years, and most of them ended up in the middle east.
  
  The current administration would also have you believe that the anti missile defense systems in place over America would defeat a nuke attack easily. Problem is, that system is designed wait until the nuke is on its final trajectory down to its target (where targeting and tracking is far easier), and a nuke set to explode in the atmosphere doesn’t enter that final targeting phase.
  
  Id advocate letting em blow themselves up first, but as the leadership of Iran has stated that in a direct missile fight with Israel, it would experience 40% casualties vs the total annihilation of Israel, and he felt that to be a good trade-off….Not sure I’d want to let that one play out.

Yeah, because it’s always wise to interpret natural disasters as God’s will to punish those you don’t agree with. Yes, Pat Robertson was a freaking moron for saying the same thing about Katrina being God’s punishment for New Orleans. It’s especially ironic that both of these religious zealot nuts don’t actually believe that God still speaks through living prophets, and thus would have NO WAY of knowing what God’s will in relation to current events might be.

  What about when your grandparents fought WW2, and thousands and thousands were killed on battle fields, and so God Judo chopped your spiritual mountains and broke up all the people and you had a 76 million person baby boom? And now they’re really unhealthy and they’re going to bankrupt the system. I’d say that’s bad for you, but good for God.

  Or how about when penicillin was unleashed, and then you thought instead you could use it to make more people to pay taxes, but then God broke up the mountains nearly reaching 7 billion people in the world? Eventually they are mostly going to die off. Bad for you, but good for God.

  Or how about all the graven images you have brought down from your minds that have created a flood taking everyone’s attention from thought and prayer, and has them running around like dogs sniffing their poo. Then God created the baby boom, and all kinds of dead-beats to bankrupt the system to make it collapse. Bad for you, but good for God.

This is about the dumbest thing the writer has said. Now he wants us to believe that he knows what God intends with natural storms. That’s what we could call blasphemy in our religious beliefs. But what makes me double over in hilarious belly laughter is how guys like this can somehow overlook his own religious zealots and common believers alike think it’s perfectly right, humane and civilized to go around killing their own people without a care. Some folks are just plain barbaric. Perhaps when this guy crawls out of his cave and begins living a real life in the real world, he’ll get a more developed human brain. Unfortunately, neither ANY species on earth nor even the earth itself, will exist to see that event ever occur.

  It’s just like blaming this all on climate change. I admit there is climate change but it is not manmade. If the supposed scientists can tell me how the dinasaurs died off then I will at least listen to them. The records don’t go back far enough to give to creadence to CO2 being the cause. These guys use computer models with their facts and all computers run on the principle of garbage in garbage out, plain and simple.

Earth quakes are very common in the middle east. Hundreds of thousands die from them. Less than 100 died, by the grace of God, from Sandy.

Well, as a theory for the cause of this late season hurricane, it has just as much plausibility as Van Jones’ proposition that it was caused by global warming. I prefer however to think it is God’s slap in the face to east coast socialism and rampant Godless liberalism.

  I’ve had that thought too. If it weren’t for Obama, so many people would not be awake now. If he fails to win another term, we have dodged the bullet and must make haste to reverse the course of this nation. Not to return to what is past, but to move in the direction our forefathers started us on. The world depends on us to either make or break it. If we fail, the whole world will be sent to Armagedon. If we succeed, we have another chance to get it right.

  Unfortunately, the quran and bible have completely opposing views on end times prophecies. And for each, the other is the army of the anti-Christ.
  
  ie, in the bible, the army of the anti-Christ will receive the mark of the beast upon their head or right hand. In the quran, the just will receive a mark upon their hand or forehead to identify them as soldiers of god. Unfortunately, most bible and quran prophecy regarding end times is almost completely and diametrically apposed.
  
  Sucks but is true.

Haha. A “Divine Slap” in the face. That’s funny. I think it was more a move to solidify hard headed people into more hardness. Disaster hits, and they go racing in with their money, and items of comfort so the morons who live in a hurricanes path near the coastal regions just say “Oh they’ll always save me, therefore I will continue to live in the coast.”

For you to gloat about the damage, destruction caused by this storm is unthinkable. YOUR TIME IS COMING. PS GOD doesn’t hide behind gail force winds. HE made it all, controls it all and only GOD knows how many people HE spared and saved during this natural disaster.
