Iraqis Call Shuttle Disaster God's Vengeance

Sat February 1, 2003 02:08 PM ET
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Immediate popular reaction in Baghdad on Saturday to the loss of the U.S. space shuttle Columbia and its seven-member crew -- including the first Israeli in space -- was that its was God's retribution on Americans. "We are happy that it broke up," government employee Abdul Jabbar al-Quraishi said.

"God wants to show that his might is greater than the Americans. They have encroached on our country. God is avenging us," he said.

Car mechanic Mohammed Jaber al-Tamini noted Israeli air force Colonel Ilan Ramon was among the dead when the shuttle broke up shortly before its return to earth.

"Israel launched an aggression on us when it raided our nuclear reactor without any reason (in 1981), now time has come and God has retaliated to their aggression," Tamini said.

May Darkness take thee, people of Iraq -
Thou and all thy kin.
May thy every hope and dream be blighted,
May thy every affection be returned with toad cold indifference
May thy every friend betray thee.
May everything that thou dost treasure be taken from thee,
And that in such a way or manner that the mere loss is the least of the pain.
Now and forever, Iraqis, unto Eternity.

Hey Saddam:Wait until America drops a rain of death on Iraq and its allies. Your sh8t filled land's name and memory will be erased, and the remaing inhabitamts scattered. May the fate of Carthage be upon you, O Saddam! "The day of Fire" awaits you!

They are going to know more about God's vengeance when 800 cruise missiles and 200,000+ allied soldiers come raining down on their pansy asses than they ever wanted to know about God's vengeance...

I am also against abortion. And at a time like this, I cannot understand WHY people would drag the issue into such a heartbreaking tragedy.

Those who like to brag about God being the mastermind behind 9/11, and the loss of the space shuttle today, HAVE to be standing in the same class as the Iraqi's. It's so insane. What they are claiming is that God has removed His protection because of abortions, while He MERRILY aborts the lives of people who probably do NOT support/push the abortion issue. But yet, while these innocent adults are dying, there seems to be the hand of God protecting those who ARE supporting/pushing the abortion 'rights'.

Those who are heartset AGAINST abortion had better live in total fear. They have a big bulls-eye on them, they will pay the price for the sins of the abortion believers. (sarcasm?)

Following that same mindset, does that mean God is the mastermind behind the horror/torture that sodom insane/china/islames commit throughout the world?

To those who are not Christians yet, the 'God Kills' speeches are a SURE guarantee that they will NEVER want to know the Christ and God. They will be too afraid to get 'close' to Him...for fear of being punished for someone ELSE'S sins up the road.

It's a mad, mad world. It's filled with much horror and much gut-wrenching sadness. And I see a lot of Christians who want to intensify it.

Which is the greater tragedy today?

[Aracelis]

The time for diplomacy and humanitarian efforts has passed. Mr. President...I respectfully submit it is now time to act, decisively and with extreme prejudice.

[muslims=borg]

Just makes me look forward to watching these scumbags die even more.

[redheadtoo]

I wonder how the Hollywood crowd and the Democrats will feel about this.

The Hollywood crowd is mostly full of atheists so they won't believe that this is God's vengence. But I'll bet they are privately mocking the President's words about God taking them home.

[Springman]

Just hope God lets US do his work for him!! Thoe SOB's just P**S me off!!

[redheadtoo]

What a difference a Christian reply would be to this tragedy. If the shuttle had belonged to the Iraqis President Bush would have offered his condolences.

[GOP_Raider]

The bombing should have started five minutes ago over there....and that's long overdue, in my opinion.

[Springman]

Thoe=Those, sorry.

[Stultis]

Uh, huh. "Popular reaction" in a hyper-totalitarian dictatorship. Only in the good-is-evil, up-is-down, black-is-white, is-isn't-is world of Reuters.

[Ukiapah Heep]

They will soon learn about venegance first hand!

[mrb1960]

My, My, My, there a lot of replies to this one.

All I gotta say is this.......

TIME TO TURN THESE SOB'S AND THEIR COUNTRY INTO ONE BIG SHEET OF GLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS INSULT THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR SPACE PROGRAM WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE PRICE IN SERVICE TO THEIR COUNTRY!
