Columbia crash was punishment by Allah: Abu Hamza

Columbia crash was punishment by Allah: Abu Hamza
UK Bureau
London, February 3

The fundamentalist cleric Abu Hamza who has been preaching at Sainsbury Park has said that the Columbia shuttle was an evil trip and its crash would be seen by Muslims as a punishment by Allah.

His statement has been condemned by some moderate Muslims while a spokesman for Hindu temples said such statements would create rift between the communities here and the world over.

The mosque was recently raided by 150 police officers on the suspicion that it had become a meeting point for alleged terrorists. They had made a few arrests, seized a stun gun and some other material during the raid.

Hamza's defiance has surprised the officials as he is already facing the likelihood of deportation on the suspicion that his marriage to an English woman was bigamous. She has now spoken and said her life with him was hell.

The Scriptures have situations which prefigure future situations.

What happened to the Columbia over Palestine, TX, could just as easily be seen as "pre-figuring" a judgement from "the Heavens" on the Palestinians (in the Middle East.)

Such a comment mainly shows the meanness of mind of these 7th Century throwbacks.
