I have been silent around here for quite a while, but still continued to peruse the site. <b>THIS</b> topic in particular has caught my attention and compels me to post again.
WHY, did the original poster have to post such an article from a writer who is so negative and has nothing better to do than to criticize the so-called "West"? The "evil West" as so many Muslims like to portray are giving HUGE amounts of aid to these majority-Muslim areas that have been so devastated by this tragic event.
I don't see NOT ONE Muslim country coming anywhere even close to what these non-Muslim nations are doing.
If you add up all the aid being pledged by ALL Muslim countries together, it doesn't even come close to what the U.S., Australia, Germany and Japan are giving. It's not even as much as Italy is giving alone. It's stuff like this that makes people not care what the Muslim community thinks of us; it's always this victim role but never any appreciation whatsoever.
Why aren't more Muslim countries reaching out to help their own while at the same time finding nothing better to do than critize others?
<b>THAT</b> is true hypocrisy! How ungrateful.
