Militants rally to wave punishment claim...

Post by capt_buzzard »

Islamic militants in Morocco defied King Mohammed V1 at the weekend by rallying behind claims that the country faced an Asian style tsunami as punishment for immorality.

Thousands of extremists took to the streets in support of the newspaper Attajdid, which called last month's disaster ''an act of divine retribution'' for the region's sex tourism industry.

The paper also outraged the Kingdom's moderates by implying that it risked the same fate because of a growth of prostitution and its own sex tourism, a phenomenon it described as a ''calamity''. Demonstrators rushed to the defence of the newspaper, which is believed to be close to the Islamic-oriented Justice and Development Party (PJD), after it was savaged in the pro-government media.

We believe God is going to punish us for Sin, they said. I wonder if some religious folk in the US think the same way about 9/11?
