I've Been Thinking:

Many messages of condolence have been sent in response to Hurricane Katrina.
But nothing like this.

"Congratulations to the Islamic nation, to our sheikh Osama abu Abdullah (Osama bin Laden) and to sheikh Ayman Zawahiri (bin Laden's deputy) for the destruction of America, which is at the forefront of evil. It is the start of its collapse."... "God attacked America and the prayers of the oppressed were answered."... "The wrath of the All-powerful fell upon the nation of oppressors (The US)... Their dead are in the thousands and their losses are in the billions."... "Only recently America killed and starved whoever it wanted, but today it is appealing for oil and food."

This is the message of terrorist leader and head of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al Zarkawi. It was posted on a website on Sunday.

Do not be surprised. The enemies of the United States have found that God or Allah hates us and loves them. Do not be surprised.

But here is the catch: Yes, this was an act of God, a devastating act of God.
Just as I do not understand why God allowed this to happen, believe me, neither do bin Laden, Zawahiri and Zarkawi.
