Kuwaiti Official: Katrina is a Wind of Torment and Evil from Allah Sent to This American Empire
MEMRI ^ | 9-1-05

Posted on 09/01/2005 6:17:20 PM PDT by SJackson

In reaction to Hurricane Katrina and the destruction in its wake, a high-ranking Kuwaiti official, Muhammad Yousef Al-Mlaifi, who is director of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Endowment's research center, published an article titled "The Terrorist Katrina is One of the Soldiers of Allah, But Not an Adherent of Al-Qaeda." [1] The article appeared August 31, 2005 in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa.

The following are excerpts from his article:

"The Terrorist Katrina is One of the Soldiers of Allah…" "…As I watched the horrible sights of this wondrous storm, I was reminded of the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah [in the compilations] of Al-Bukhari and Abu Daoud. The Hadith says: 'The wind is of the wind of Allah, it comes from mercy or for the sake of torment. When you see it, do not curse it, [but rather] ask Allah for the good that is in it, and ask Allah for shelter from its evil.' Afterwards, I was [also] reminded of the words of the Prophet Muhammad: 'Do not curse the wind, as it is the fruit of Allah's planning. He who curses something that should not be cursed – the curse will come back to him.'

"When the satellite channels reported on the scope of the terrifying destruction in America [caused by] this wind, I was reminded of the words of [Prophet Muhammad]: 'The wind sends torment to one group of people, and sends mercy to others.' I do not think – and only Allah [really] knows – that this wind, which completely wiped out American cities in these days, is a wind of mercy and blessing. It is almost certain that this is a wind of torment and evil that Allah has sent to this American empire. Out of my absolute belief in the truth of the words of the Prophet Muhammad, this wind is the fruit of the planning [of Allah], as is stated in the text of the Hadith of the Prophet.

"But I began to ask myself: Doesn't this country [the U.S.] claim to aspire to establish justice, freedom, and equality amongst the people? Isn't this country claiming that everything it did in Afghanistan and Iraq was for truth and justice? How can it be that these American claims are untrue, when we see how good prevails in the streets of Afghanistan, and how it became an oasis of security with America's entrance there? How can these American claims in the matter of Iraq be untrue, when we see that Iraq has become the most tranquil and secure country in the world?

"But how strange it is that after all the tremendous American achievements for the sake of humanity, these mighty winds come and evilly rip [America's] cities to shreds? Have the storms have joined the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization?"

"The Disaster Will Keep Striking the Unbelievers for What They Have Done"

"How sad I am for America. Here it is, poor thing, trying with all its might to lower oil prices which have reached heights unprecedented in all history. Along with America's phenomenal efforts to lower the price of oil in order to salvage its declining economy and its currency – that is still falling due to the 'smart' policy America is implementing in the world – comes this storm, the fruit of Allah's planning, so that [the price of] a barrel of oil will increase further still. By Allah, this is not schadenfreude.

"Oh honored gentlemen, I began to read about these winds, and I was surprised to discover that the American websites that are translated [into Arabic] are talking about the fact that that the storm Katrina is the fifth equatorial storm to strike Florida this year… and that a large part of the U.S. is subject every year to many storms that extract [a price of] dead, and completely destroy property. I said, Allah be praised, until when will these successive catastrophes strike them?

"But before I went to sleep, I opened the Koran and began to read in Surat Al-R'ad ['The Thunder' chapter], and stopped at these words [of Allah]: 'The disaster will keep striking the unbelievers for what they have done, or it will strike areas close to their territory, until the promise of Allah comes to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise. ' [Koran 13:31]."

Glad to see he's so grateful to the ones who saved his sorry hide back in the day.

If there is any difference between Islam and devil-worship, it escapes me.

I want to hear U.S. reaction to this and what some the other officials in Kuwait have to say. Some of our supposed allied Muslim countries are sure feeling their oats, now that Saddam's gone.

"The Terrorist Katrina is One of the Soldiers of Allah, But Not an Adherent of Al-Qaeda."

and that is "thank you" from Kuwaiti for liberating them from Saddam by "infidels"?
Maybe time to go back, vaporize the muSlimes and all the oil bases are belong to US. Time to put end to this new "nice" world order, look after our own interests and let the scumbags take care of their hines.
With the recent display of "patriotism" by RATs here, time to start cleanup at home, ENOUGH!!!!

I'm not sure that this is public information, but I didn't see the "Ultra-TOP SECRET, Eyes Only" stamp on it. I believe "Hadith" is also the code name for the nuke project that will take out Mecca, Medina and three other pagan locations, if called for.

But I guess Allah doesn't discriminate between Christians and Muslims when it comes to killer waves that flatten houses and drown thousands of people, though.

Islam is such a complicated religion, isn't it?

These "mutts" were saved by American troops (some 300 of whom died) and American dollars with the expulsion of Saddam and his army from Kuwait in 1991. Really has a lot of appreciation for saving his sorry tail, doesn't he?
