Quake is 'punishment from Allah'
By Peter Foster in Battal
(Filed: 15/10/2005)


Preaching from the ruins of his once beautiful mosque, the Mullah of Battal offered a simple answer to the question posed time and again since the Pakistan earthquake: why?

''Allah has sent this great punishment on account of our misdeeds," he said, jabbing a finger at the open sky. "We must now end our rebellion against the orders of Allah and submit ourselves again to his ways."

As Mullah Abdul Hayee declaimed his Friday sermon, his voice soaring with wrath then sinking with emotion, a crowd of more than 1,500 reflected on a truly dreadful week.

7. Great post

You are absolutely, 100% correct. Fundamentalism is a psychological condition that transcends culture, gender and socio-economics.
