tsunami disaster relief

[TheEngineer]

This is not a lecture nor is it a finger waging speech on right or wrong, but:

50,000 dead children are not my enemy.
Thousands of orphans are not my enemy.
Suffering people who hold no ill will against me are not my enemy.

Humanity is not my enemy.

BTW, India, Thailand, Somolia, Kenya are not Muslim countries.

The world's two largest Muslim countries - Indonesia and Malaysia, are solidly democratic and both in recent elections have voted to remain secular, refusing to add religion into the government.

Even the Tammils and the Indonesians can put down a 3 decade old conflict to help each other out.

It is in times like these that we should get together and put aside our differences. It is sad enough that many feel that they often need calamities such as these to join together. It is more said when these opportunities are missed.

I claim no political affiliation. I claim no religious bacground. I believe in humanity and it is humanity that we are now trying desparately to save.

I respect a difference of opinion. However, I hope you respect mine and I am going to help.
