One thing that is overlooked. The Gulf of Mexico is the source of the Gulf stream The oil is not going to remain in US territorial waters for long it will flow out with the Gulf stream. Here is a map of the Gulf Stream and how the water heated in the Gull of Mexico flows.

Notice that the water from the Gulf of Mexico in the Gulf Current is the same Western Current the flows along the western coast of Africa.

Add to this the massive oil plumes that so far BP is denying the existence of:


This may prove to be the worse danger when it begins washing up on the shores of West Africa

Sadly this like most disasters will eventually hurt most the people who can least afford it.

Once again greed will hit the innocent the hardest. This Insha Allaah will be the wake up call that the world has to cease dependency on petroleum.
 
i never meant the impact on wildlife was insignificant, i meant the impcat of humans around the world.

whats done is done, im not saying lets go out of our way to harm the animals.

these animals are dying in the way of Allah swt. if i could help them i would. but one letter of complaint is not making a difference, hence it is fruitless to feel too sorry.

^you guys have it wrong, at the end of the day anyhow america looses this oil is a great repayment for the people they killed to steal it.

and i dont see how the entire world will be affected by it. sure its ruined the lvies of locals and maybe a few people living on the bordering states but your the people funding the wars and
electing the governments that stole this oil. still the animals dont need to suffer, but i hope their deaths has caused you hypocrites some pain aswell.

May I ask brother, which people did America kill to obtain the oil in the Gulf of Mexico? And how is it 'stealing'- the Gulf of Mexico is surely America's own backyard?

the people of iraq. even if its not that same oil. they would loose profit overall hence accounting for the oil stole in iraq, if that makes sense.

the real loosers of money is the american government here.

Did you even read my post? You're contradicting yourself left right and centre. I posted two verses of the Quran which state the total opposite of what you say and you're still set in your ways. Shocking

The American government will gain money if anything. They can fine BP for every barrel of oil leaked.

its a good thing Allah is in charge and not you. there are always gonna be casualties with every victory, i say the loss of animal life is acceptable. not encouraged however.
 
If I remember it correctly, there are also a couple of Qur'an ayahs about NOT to do destruction on the face of the earth. Basically the verses are command to protect the environment.

I can't remember which ayahs were those.

You are going against what Islam teaches. Loss of life whether it be an animal is not acceptable. To not care is disgusting

maybe not for terrorists like you, but certainly for muslims.

Use my brain? If you've made an assertion without an ounce of proof or evidence, using my brain would actually involve questioning that assertion, which is exactly what I'm doing.

This isn't good news for anyone, and stop using foolish words like 'terrorist' about people on the internet- just because I do not subscribe to your inane theories and thoughts on how such a catastrophic envorinmental disaster actually is a good thing, it does not make me a terrorist.

K?

Ok I agree that might be the case but it will be the little people who suffer.

ouch, im a muslim brother here. harsh words. there will always be environmental damage and loss of animal life whatever humans do. building houses or even walking down the street your bound to step on an ant or two. ok the situations might not compare, but the idea is the same. im not condoning environmental damage, but you have to realise this is a war between us and the non muslims, there will be casualties with every battle.
