Iranian Floods

This looks devastating. Nobody could wish this on anybody. After the floods in Africa and the charity crisis appeals, so far , I have not seen any crisis appeal put forward for Iran.

Possibly for political reasons, but surely this is a humanitarian crisis which is hampered by all the sanctions placed on Iran by US. and could be an opportunity to build bridges between countries that are so divided for other reasons.

I'm not sure where I stand on this, what do you think ?
Terrible images coming out , here ...

Surely if you put aside politics you can feel some compassion for the ordinary people caught up in this tragedy? No?

Nah. Now they're suffering from a mental illness. Ain't you heard.

Mind you describing Islam as a mental illness isn't far from the truth.

What IS interesting is that these not suicide but HOMICIDE bombers isn't suicide. It's a legitimate attack on the enemies of Islam and if the pigs live or die is a thing that they commit to the "will of allah".

If it views their murderous attacks as an act of "shahid" then it's a non-stop ticket to paradise.

Sick just doesn't do it justice.

Not a lot. For me compassion like charity stops at home.
