To address some comments:
People have been building in areas prone to flooding for at least all of recorded history, probably before then too. It's extremely fertile farming land, so settlements tend to start there. Ancient Egypt, for example, was able to supply most of the staple food for most of the Roman empire from lands which flooded at least a couple of times every year.
For a modern example, how about London? It's built on a swamp that's part of the flood plain for a river that that routinely caused massive flooding. It's much bigger now, but that's where the older parts of London are. Flooding was a huge problem before modern technology and is still a threat now despite the hundreds of flood defences. Should we try to move London? |

Dear Heaven, there are some ignorant illiterate bigots on here- you all have a vast wealth of information and opinion at your fingertips, do you do nothing but watch porn and validate your own opinions? |

davymid: Did you miss what I typed earlier ?
Me: As a Christian, I would hope America does come to their aid even if it isn't appreciated immediately.
So you are trying to equate me with the WBC, Just because I made the point about muslims celebrating 9/11? I never said that OBL represented all muslims, However millions of muslims certainly do share his views.
Fewer than thousand Christians share Phelps views, Yet his groups activities are showcased here on IAB at least a few times a week.
I guess it's just safer to bash Christians and get away with it, Right ?

Come on Crakajoke. Should I call you pot, or kettle here?
Weren't you just complaining in the Westboro post about how WBC and their "God Hates Fags" trip doesn't represent all Christians? I know that it doesn't... but I've likewise seen many vids and pics of them out in their droves picketing funerals.
Here comes the clue train, last stop, you. You quoting Osama bin Laden as representative of the views of an entire Muslim nation is akin to me quoting Fred Phelps as representative of an entire Christian nation, like America. Except I wouldn't do that. Grow up, man.
The people of Pakistan got hit hard, and the worst is yet to come. Are you seriously advocating that we don't help them, on the basis of their majority religious denomination? |

apermal: Nevertheless, Do you see anyone here in America dancing in the streets yelling 'God is great' at this flooding news ?
The fact is many muslims celebrated 9/11. You may quibble as to just exactly how many, But that doesn't change the fact that entire streets were filled with chants of 'Allah Akbar' and the burning of symbols of America.
“We love death. The US loves life. That is the difference between us two... and that is why we will win." - Osama bin Laden |

@Batmanners - Pakistan wasn't supporting us against terrorists and was moderately friendly to Taliban ... Until the Tali's started taking over parts of Pakistan and then its "Oh! Help Us America! Help Us!" .... let them drown |

Wow there's more arguing about religion on here than there is talk about, you know, a flood killing people, and somehow, even though you'd think Christianity would have nothing to do with it, we just had to inject our own religion in to the argument. |

wow Gerry1of - ARABS are the descendents of Ismael - mohammed didn't invent his religion until - what - don't feel like looking it up, but around 750 A.D.? That's AFTER CHRIST. MOHAMMED then MUSLIMS. Get YOUR facts straight. |

a1butcher - muslims do NOT say "The Greeks had many Allahs". Allah was the NAME of a pagan God that Mohammed confiscated to try and win those pagans to his new (pagan) religion. |

TR-Wolf - a large part of India's population is Muslim - haven't you heard of the atrocities committed by the Muslims agains the Hindu and Christian populations there? Will and Areal Durant, two of the worlds greatest historians, called the muslim conquest of India the bloodiest chapter in world history. |
