SO you would have expected the islamic relief fund to work with the Salvation Army? If they had, would we be attacking the Salvation Army?

If I see an Arab man putting money in the Salvation Army pot at Christmas, should I call up the national organization and complain about it?

What is your point?

Apparently, the Islamic Relief fund has a relationship with the LDS relief organization, which is mutually helpful toward getting aid to people who need it. So it’s not just that the islamist organization doesn’t have boots to go on the ground in Haiti, it’s something that is already set up.

It seems to involve the fact that the Islamic Relief organization has lots of money from our foreign oil purchases, which can be used to help people in times of need. The LDS has lots of volunteers willing to risk their lives to help others, and an effective organization for delivering that help.

I’m not sure why FR is actually complaining about non-government-funded relief efforts now, except that it plays into the hatred some people have for muslims and mormons.

Why didn't ldsers partner with the Salvation Army as they have been in Haiti for more than 50 years? Just a question.
The question is why have ldsers partnered with islamic fascist for decades?

If obama hooked the US effort up with the Red Crescent, would you complain?

I think I might. I would think we could do humanitarian effort on our own, and let the Red Crescent do their humanitarian effort on their own.

Everyone helping. Isn’t that the point?

Don't read my mind and assign a motive to me, Charles. The Salvation Army did NOT partner with the muslims.

Since the mormons have had an ongoing campaign and have been railing for several years now demanding they be called "Christians" I find it quite interesting that they would advertise the fact that they chose a muslim organization to "partner" with when as I posted, there are many Christian organizations they could have aided.

"The LDS has lots of volunteers willing to risk their lives to help others, and an effective organization for delivering that help."

Where is your proof that "The LDS has lots of volunteers willing to risk their lives to help others," and the organizations on the ground do not? Take a look at this bit of information.

The Salvation Army has had a presence in Haiti since 1950 and currently operates schools, clinics, a hospital, feeding programs, children's homes and church-related activities spread across two major facilities in Port au Prince, close to the epicenter of the earthquake and at other locations in the country.

One of the facilities, or compounds as it is referred to, includes a home for more than 50 children; a school with a daily attendance of 1,500 children; a medical clinic caring for 150-200 people daily; and a church that on any typical Sunday welcomes nearly 1,000 people. The facility is less than 10 minutes from the National Palace and is in an area known as St. Martin that's home to predominantly poor living in the nation's capital.

According to reports from Salvation Army staff in Port au Prince, no one in the compound was injured during the earthquake, but the children's home, the clinic and church suffered major damage. Several smaller buildings, including residences, have collapsed completely. People were sleeping in the parking lot overnight, while severe aftershocks continued to affect the country.

The second compound that houses Salvation Army administrative offices is being used as an emergency operations center; damage was slight to this compound, according to Salvation Army reports from Haiti."

Army school, clinic damaged; staff on-site organizing emergency response

Now, post the similar facts regarding mormon presence in Haiti.

I’m not sure why FR is actually complaining about non-government-funded relief efforts now, except that it plays into the hatred some people have for muslims and mormons.

And, I'm not sure why some individuals would try to charge the entire FR site with "playing into the hatred some people have" over posts made by a handful of members. Take it up with the boss...I'm pinging him for you.

Would you care to borrow the victim card?

Mindreading and attributing motives.

I would complain about ANY group/church that chose to partner with Islamacists.

The fact that the LDS church (who has spent BILLIONS trying to get everyone to accept them as Christians) had decided to ally with the Muslims rather than one of the other organizations (like the Red Cross or Salvation Army), says a lot about how they really feel about Christians.
