Muslims & Katrina
Two different reactions among Muslims about ‘Katrina:
Houston Muslims Feed Katrina Victims
Recognizing Katrina as “the biggest calamity” in the history of the US, Qadeer wondered: “How can we not help out?”
The massive effort was the work of the Houston Muslim Relief Group, a coalition of 20 mosques and local Islamic organizations formed after Katrina to provide help.
It took place in coordination with the Second Baptist Church of Houston and Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston (IMGH).
Al-Zarqawi: Katrina an answer to prayers
In the recording, al-Zarqawi said, “I believe the devastating hurricane that hit the United States occurred because people in Iraq or Afghanistan — maybe a mother who had lost her son or a son whose parents were killed or a woman who was raped — were praying for God and God accepted their prayers.”
