Drought blamed on lack of faith

A LEADING Muslim cleric has blamed the devastating drought, climate change and pollution on Australians' lack of faith in Allah.
Radical sheik Mohammed Omran told followers at his Brunswick mosque that out-of-control secular scientific values had caused environmental disaster.
"The fear of Allah is not there. So we have now a polluted earth, a polluted water, a wasteland," he told a meeting this year.
"What are the people now crying for? The prophet told you hundreds of years ago, 'Look after the water'."
A Sunday Herald Sun investigation also found clerics railing against "evil" democracy, vilifying Jews and Christians and encouraging jihad and polygamy.
And in a popular DVD selling locally, a foreign sheik exhorts Muslims to take control of Australia by out-breeding non-believers.
British-based Sheik Abdul Raheem Green forbade Muslims from having fewer than four children so Australia would become an Islamic state.
Behind the closed doors of some Melbourne mosques and bookshops, sheiks push for Sharia law, declare Islam at war with the "sick" West and gloat that September 11 boosted Muslim numbers.
At a Muslim information centre in Coburg, extreme literature shares shelves with DVDs by firebrand sheiks from around the globe.

The centre, run by Abu Hamza, serves Muslims in the northern suburbs.
Many CDs and DVDs there feature London sheik Abdul Raheem Green, who is on an Australian Government watchlist.

On one he tells his audience to Islamise Australia through a Muslim baby boom.
"The birth rate in the Western countries is going down. People are more interested in their careers . . . they don't want to have babies," Sheik Green says in one DVD.
"So don't you think, Muslim brothers and sisters, we've got a bit of an opportunity here? They're not having babies any more. So what if, instead, we have the babies?
"In Canada one in three or one in four children being born is a Muslim. What does that do to the demographic shift of a Muslim population in 20 years' time?
Islamic Council of Victoria spokesman Waleed Aly said he was disappointed though not surprised by the Sunday Herald Sun's discoveries.
But he said extremist speech and literature was confined to only a couple of Melbourne groups.
"If I walked into (Omran's group) or (Hamza's centre) it wouldn't surprise me," he said.
Mr Aly said he believed Muslims were radicalised by "cult-like peer groups", not hate literature.

Answer 1

YES !!!!
The exact reason, as the West will be blamed for everything to ever go wrong...and they will plot against us..

Answer 2

there is a standard answer. people who're investment such agencies sympathise with their goals. between the justifications at the back of that's because of the fact the customary American would not understand what is going on interior the international. The media over there would not provide a balanced view. take a seem at Iraq case in point. the customary individual over there somewhat believed what the government grew to become into asserting relating to the weapons of mass destruction and hence supported the conflict. Now that the certainty has come to easy, no longer particularly such quite some have faith what the government says. Going back to the question. i think that the fundraisers are very convincing and could make ideal conmen. in straight forward terms the gullible might have faith in this manner of reason anymore.

Answer 3

That sounds a lot like Pat Robertson's take on New Orleans after Katrina.

Answer 4

a war of babies and psycho clerics, the cult groups are starting to sound like Hitler's plans for world domination. does not surprise me how they can get thier own followers to kill themselves for there so called "cause".

Answer 5

Of course. That's exactly the reason.

We fight the war on terror because religious leaders make statements that are irrational and blame all of our (or their) problems on not having enough faith in God.....

It has nothing to do with hating other religions, or racial or religious profiling, or actually wanting to stop groups of fanatics who try to bomb us.

It's all about stopping people from making irrational statements.

Answer 6

And the foolish Australians allowed themselves to be disarmed. We in America can't allow that to happen here.

Answer 7

No.
