Disturbing - Conversation with a Mullah

You’re right, the generalization is uncalled for. But there ARE Mullahs going around simply telling everybody they screwed up, not knowing exactly what they did wrong, and not doing squat all to help.

Now what Mullah specifically warned the people striken in the affected areas of their impending doom, and why not Lahore or Karachi where all the REAL sins are being commited? Becuase it was “God’s will”? Not good enough…why punish thousands of pious…to make a point to the impious? Where is this trend indicated in the Quran? Where has God ever done that?

Earthquakes are a sign of God’s might, no doubt. But the fact is, it’s faulty logic to compare the Tsunami, the Bam earthquake, or the one in Kashmir with those mentioned in scripture that had destroyed nations who were corrupt to the core.

YOU are just as much a sinner as the people of Kashmir were, or just as pious (take your pick)…why didn’t YOU die? Answer me that exactly…what was it YOU did that saved you? What were the Kashmiris doing that was so bad? Don’t presume they were wicked just because they happened to be the victims.

In the end, God takes whom he pleases…it’s His right. BUT there is no telling if it was His intent to PUNISH us or not…that’s not a matter of belief or not, it’s speculation at best. ALL we can say for certain is that an earthquake happened, and it just so happened people lived there. Powerful earthquakes happen every year in remote areas, so not all earthquakes are signs. Similarily, not all earthquakes in populated areas are devine punishment. In any case, we should only concern ourselves with the surviors.

The last thing these people need are people going around and implying they were “wicked” and somewhow deserved what they got.

If this was Azaab then we need to know EXACTLY what the people of Kashmir were doing that was so wrong so we can LEARN from it. What point is a warning if we can’t comprehend the sign? So…tell me…what was it?

Here is what you had written.

Can you please define REAL (and UNREAL) sins?
