This time, let the American conservatives watch & be amused.

A Muslim Saudi professor says the earthquake and tsunami in south Asia were punishment from Allah for homosexuality and fornication committed by residents and visitors of affected countries at Christmastime.

"These great tragedies and collective punishments that are wiping out villages, towns, cities and even entire countries, are Allah's punishments of the people of these countries, even if they are Muslims," stated Al-Fawzan. "Some of our forefathers said that if there is usury and fornication in a certain village, Allah permits its destruction."

The professor singled out beach resorts as places of sexual sin.

"We know that at these resorts, which unfortunately exist in Islamic and other countries in south Asia, and especially at Christmas, fornication and sexual perversion of all kinds are rampant," he said. "The fact that it happened at this particular time is a sign from Allah. It happened at Christmas, when fornicators and corrupt people from all over the world come to commit fornication and sexual perversion. That's when this tragedy took place, striking them all and destroyed everything. It turned the land into wasteland, where only the cries of the ravens are heard. I say this is a great sign and punishment on which Muslims should reflect."

What an asshole. :mad:

Besides, if that were true, NYC would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean years ago. There's enough fornication and sexual perversion around here to choke a horse.
 
there are always a few...of course there was a good share of christians preeching gods wrath.
and of course the once-in-a-while apocalypse preecher...
 
I think it's one thing to predict that awful things will befall people for behaviors with which you don't agree, but quite another to pat yourself on the back and be pleased when thousands of innocent people are killed. :shrug:
 
retards and idiots always get the most attention, i guess. if there's an allah or god, and this guy really is pleased with the death of so many people...we'll see in the end who was right, won't we?

Maybe a trip to NYC is in order...just as a fact-finding gesture... :devious:
 
:hmm: Not that I'm a fan of fanatics...any fanatics, but isn't that a bit of a stretch for a joke? :nerd:
 
Coming from a religious person.

The thing is he has no idea. I have no idea, the Pope has no idea, nor anyone else on this Earth has any idea why this happened. God did what he did for his own reasons. We can try as hard as we want to figure out what God is doing but we will never know. We can try as hard as we want to interpet God's actions but we fail in the end. The time of prophets has long passed away. There are no more. God has stopped speaking to them since Jesus.

Now out of the blue some people spout this kind of stuff. They have no clue at all if this is the reason behind God's actions. I could understand it if it were an opinion, but that statement, at least to me, implies fact. There is no fact, no fact in it because God didn't tell him.
 
Now we get into the soft side of religion. According to gospel, God spoke to/thru Jesus, Moses & several others. Who says he didn't speak thru Prof Al-Fawzan? More than "who says" it's why is it so hard to believe?
 
Two words.


False prophets.


Matthew 7:15 - "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."

There are many other quotations I could list but no where in the NT does it says that God will use prophets. The time of prophets is dead.

The bible also tells us that Christ will return. Only Christ. Not a speaker of him, but Christ himself.
 
To the best of my limited knowledge, no, the next return will be the return will be the return of Christ. If you know of anything in the Bible that says different I'm all ears though, but I've read it a couple times now and have never seen anything in it that would indicate that God would use prophets before the return of Christ.
 
I have no idea, either way. I just can't recall (off the top of my head) God "saying" he'd use prophets or would stop using them. :shrug:
