One thing that makes me seriously wonder though is the sincerity of WESTERN "aid" in particular whenever these things happen in NON Western countries. I don't know why that every time some disaster happens back home in the West it is grossly neglected in comparison to if the victims of the disaster happen to be dark skinned, have bones through their noses and adopt extraneous religions and cultures. The San Francisco earthquake and especially Hurricane Katrina in American home territory was grossly neglected but when the Indonesian tsunami and the Pakistan earthquake struck, the Americans were VERY promptly coming to the "rescue" in droves, lowering out of fleets of helicopters like Chuck Norris, Rambo and the A-Team combined.
After the Indonesian tsunami I read in Indonesian newspapers that some of the Americans and British were found to be spying once they were permitted to enter on Indo soil, and they were also responsible for having whisked away scores of Indonesian children to be converted to Christian Zionism, and into adopting anti-Islamic attitudes. They were also being indoctrinated into adopting Western mentality and culture generally speaking. That's why I say that if someone really does feel the need to donate money to these places then at LEAST restrict it exclusively to Muslim charities. Keep WELL clear from the Western ones such as UNICEF, World Vision, Oxfam, Save the Children etc as these Zionist/communist/colonialist scoundrels always have all sorts of treacherous self-serving ulterior motives and strings attached.
