Natural disasters have a way of bring out the best in people — and the worst. Across the Muslim world, Hurricane Sandy was lauded as just punishment for American infidels and as a symbol of the power of Allah:

The path of destruction carved by hurricane Sandy in the US is just a tiny fragment of the punishment warranted by their heinous atrocities—

Destroying everything by the command of Allah, these punishing winds serve as a just recompense for their disbelief and crimes against Islam—
HSM Press Office (@HSMPress) October 31, 2012

It is the answer to the prayers of the oppressed Muslims accross the globe and a response to the silent whispers of the Muslim prisoners—
HSM Press Office (@HSMPress) October 31, 2012

Embrace Islam and let not Satan cast false hopes in your hearts. #Sandy is just a minor warning! A greater torment lies ahead..—

Allah says:"And disaster will not cease to strike those who disbelieve because of their evil (deeds) or it (cont) tl.gd/jrhc8u

Hurricane of sandy created the name of Allah because of the way Americans humiliated our beloved Prophet (SAW). http://t.co/n1NpkZOe

Hurricanes, floods and tornados are the soldiers of Allah which Allah releases against those he wishes to punish or to wake up Allahu Akbar!—

Hurricane Sandy reminds us of the Power and Might of Allah.As He said in al-Qur'aan:—
abba (@abbakasim) November 01, 2012

Verily, those who annoy Allah and His Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him)—
abba (@abbakasim) November 01, 2012

Allah has cursed them in this world, and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating torment. [Quran 33:57]—
abba (@abbakasim) November 01, 2012

The #Muslim world watches #USA's plight after #Sandy n believes more in #Allah n His #justice. #inevitable #sideeffect

Today it seems #God is #Allah and not #Jesus, like He is most of the time. #Sandy #karma #globalwarming

HURRICANE SANDY…trick or treat? America is too powerful for a land army… But read Quran & see how Allah SWT used weather to handle some—
Imam Hafiz Bilal (@ImamHafizBilal) November 01, 2012

Hurricane Sandy is not only a punishment from Allah (swt).. it's also a sign of the Day of Judgement. #SubhanAllah

Several revelers attributed Sandy to revenge over “The Innocence of Muslims,” the film wrongly blamed for launching violent anti-American attacks in September, including the deadly attacks in Benghazi:

Sandy is a punishment from Allah to them because of the inappropriate Movie the did about the prophet Mohammed #sandy #storm
Mohammed Zayed Saleh (@ZayedJunior17) October 31, 2012

#SANDY Allah swt's answer to Sam Bacile for his Movie #innocenceofmuslims
Burhan Khan (@salfi_b) November 01, 2012

I wonder if Hurricane Sandy is a punishment from Allah for the movie about Prophet Muhanmad S.A.W ..Allah knows best—
Islam is Peace (@__Ateeq) October 30, 2012

They made a blockbaster movie named 'Innocence Of Muslims' and, The Almighty Allah 'awarded' them by 'Hurricane Sandy'. #Proud

This Twitterer admits that innocent Americans are suffering yet celebrates the destruction and hopes for more:

Dear American Law makers.Your innocent ppl hit by #Sandy (Nature Revenge)so now to whom you gona droned for such Chaos .ALLAH is supr pwr—
Aqeel Ali (@AqeelAliPaki) November 01, 2012

The Saudi Grand Mufti, by contrast, denounced the sick gloating. His condemnation was shared by several other prominent Muslims:

Mustafa al-Nagar, Former Egyptian parliament member who was in the United States at the time of the storm, wrote on his Twitter account: “I pray for people here in America with mercy. What’s happening here is a catastrophe and a tragedy! Do not gloat over innocent victims, this is inhumane.”

Palestinian poet Mourid Barghouti also criticized gloaters over Sandy. He tweeted: “Who told you that children, students, women and men in America wish you [Muslims] death? Politicians like Mubarak and Bush are one thing, and humanity is something else.”

In the same vein, Engy Hamdi, political activist and member of Egypt’s April 6 Movement, wrote on her Twitter account, “Did Islam teach us to gloat amid the misfortunes of people?”

Others echoed this sentiment and expressed disgust at their fellow Muslims’ rejoicing:

How can you feel happy on #sandy pak ppl?

How?

We are suppose to fear Allah and say Astagfirullah on such disaster—
ToothBrush888 (@Black_Rose888) October 31, 2012

Stop saying that "Hurricane Sandy is a punishment from Allah to the American people." That is not how Muslims are suppose to act.—
SlaveOfAllahSWT? (@somalianicon) November 01, 2012

And many tweeted out prayers for safety and healing:

I pray to ALLAH for the safety of Muslims in New York #Sandy

Pray for my dad's safe journey to the East Coast of America, where the Sandy storm took place. May Allah bless us. Aamiin.—

Allah says:"And disaster will not cease to strike those who disbelieve because of their evil...

It never ceases to amaze me how any Moslem can spew this Allah's revenge nonsense when a natural disaster hits the US, when in reality by far the greatest recent disasters have occured in Moslem nations: huge earthquakes in Iran and Pakistan that killed tens of thousand and the tsunami on Indonesia that killed 100,000 plus, among other disasters.

Well, The Great Satan was normally there first and with the most. And The Little Satan offered tp provide help in Iran, but the Mullahs couldn't tolerate such lifesaving help from the Jews.

Let’s not forget U.S. Navy’s life-saving help during the tsunami in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Moslem nation.

Hard to sort out the wheat from the chaff here. We are used to hatred from some of Islam. May it turn back on them tenfold.

It was the late Gordon Sinclair of Canada who made his declaration on the Americans in 1973. It was played over and over on the American networks later. Sinclair gave examples of help by Americans for other countries disasters. Sinclair then asked rhetorically- "Who comes to the aid of Americans when they need it?"

Anyone out there? The only aid so far and I am quite glad to say, is the skilled electrical workers from Canada now being deployed to the USA. Stay safe and do a good job, says I.

I think we need to remember that:
1. aid comes if accepted
2. The USA can handle most on its own
3. the best support can come from neighboring nations, even if not high-tech, like Canada's or Mexico's help
4. Did Mexico offer aid? Or is it also hit?
