Where Are The Muslim Nations On Haiti?

By Progressive Think

Red China has provided a very embarrassing, and paltry, $1 million dollars in aid to Haiti. Better than nothing, I suppose. And far better than the oil-rich Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia.
Face facts: When red-blooded Americans hear the word “Muslim” they don’t exactly think in terms of adjectives like “charitable” or “peace-loving” or “giving” or “unselfish.” Fact is, when we hear the word Muslim, we’re usually looking for the descriptive word after it, known as “terrorist.” Americans realize that not all Muslims are terrorists; they also realize that the Muslim religion has been hijacked by a group of fanatical zealots who are bent on destroying America and killing as many Americans as possible.

But the Muslim nations of the world know this, too. They know that real Americans are not particularly impressed with their religion. And from a public relations standpoint, the perception of Muslim nations in the United States is a total and complete disaster. If the Muslim nations, and moderate Muslim religious types of the world were really interested in clearifying who, and what, their religion stands for, you would have thought that they would have jumped at the chance to help the people of Haiti after the devasting earthquake struck that nation.

But they blew it. The Muslim religion, and Islamic nations in general, have missed an opportunity to provide to the American people a positive image of themselves. They missed it.
Where are the Muslim nations when it comes to helping Haiti in its hour of need? Where are those rich, oil producing countries?

Where is Saudi Arabia? Where is Turkey? Where is Yemen? Where is Dubai? Where is Iraq?
The moderate Muslim blog site of Suhaibwebb.com is embarrassed by the lack of generosity among the Islamic world. “The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that recently hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti has left thousands dead and completely devastated the country. However, what adds to the sadness is the lack of response from Muslim organizations in North America. Muslim organizations have gone on long enough as special interest groups only caring for their brothers back home and neglecting the other five billion people on the planet. When will the Nations of Islam join the world community and assist in aiding the stricken nation of Haiti?”

“How can we speak of the sunnah and claim the Qur’an is our foundation without understanding its universal message to be a mercy for all of mankind and the best examples in kindness and compassion to all of humanity?” Donations for Haiti: Your Chance to Help (Muslim Blog Site)

They are no where to be found. And, once again, America stands alone in its unbridle generosity. Sure, other nations have helped in the relief effort, but none have gone so far as America, once again. No other country on the face of this earth is as generous; is as giving of its resources and manpower in times likes these as America.

So where are all of you Muslim countries of the world? Why aren’t you in there, getting your national hands dirty, and helping the poor victims of the Haiti earthquake? I’ll tell you where you are: you’re no where. You’re nothing. You’re nothing but a bunch of jealous, cry baby nation-states that couldn’t hold a candle to American assistance and generosity.

If it wasn’t for the United States, Europe would still be in World War Two shambles; if it wasn’t for us, many far reaching places of the world wouldn’t have had the aid that only America can provide.

Go ahead and keep hating America, you bastards. And we’ll show you up each and every time that it is America, and American Exceptionalism, that brings good to the world. And where ever we find injustice, whether it be in the form of a terrible strike by Mother Nature, or a terrible strike by you Muslim fanatics, we’ll respond. And beat you. As we always do.
