Two or three days after the Haiti horrible quake, the BBC news magazine staged a question: "Why does God allow natural disasters?" (Type the question - Google will bring you the story) The writer, David Bain, spiritually empty as expected, began by quoting a so called great thinker David Hume who said:

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?"!!!!!

David Bain, the writer, went ahead to venom out his intense spiritual bankruptcy when he attacked those who believe the disasters occour because of those who spread mischief on earth; the killers, prostitutes etc. He asked why the new born babies innocent with consensus are also wiped away in destruction for sins comitted by their seniors?

The Haiti saga, followed by Chile and now Uganda Landslides, have made me ask myself two questions: 1. Much as any Muslim can laugh at Sentamu, a ugandan York based christian clergy's ignorance of the answer to the reason why disasters happen, does the laughing Muslim know the answer? and whats the answer? 2. Have we learnt anything from this chain of horrible happenings?

“God said: ‘What prevented you (O Satan) that you did not prostrate when I commanded you?’  Iblees (the Satan) replied: ‘I am better than him (Adam).  You created me from fire, and him You created from clay.” (Quran 7:12)

So begins the history of racism.  Satan thought himself superior to Adam on account of his origins.  Since that day, Satan has misled many of Adam’s descendants into also believing themselves superior to others, causing them to persecute and exploit their fellow man.  Quite often, religion has been used to justify racism.  Judaism, for example, despite its Middle­-Eastern origins, is readily passed off as a Western religion; but the entry of Jews into all levels of Western society actually betrays Judaism’s elitist reality.  A pious reading of the bible verse:

“There is no God in all the world but in Israel.” (2 Kings 5:15)

…would be to suggest that in those days God, or God, was not worshipped except by Israelites.  However, Judaism today remains centered around its boast of ‘chosen’ racial superiority.

“Say: ‘O Jews!  If you pretend that you are the beloved slaves of God to the exclusion of the rest of humanity, then long for death if you are really truthful.’” (Quran 62:6)

Conversely, while most Christians are overwhelmingly non­-Jew, Jesus, as the last of the Israelite Prophets, was sent to none but the Jews^[1].
