i didnt see huge numbers of christist vulture-preachers descending on new orleans offering food, shelter and succor and 'saving' the starving population, which is almost 100% christian. did you see them? i bet you didnt.
so where is benny hinn? pat robertson? ron watts? sister nirmala? sleeping comfortably in climate-controlled bedrooms, surely.
as jethro tull says in 'thick as a brick', 'where was biggles when you needed him last night? where were the sportsmen, who always pull you through?'
it just goes to show yet again, this evangelism business is a racket to make money. they are not bothered about poor christians, especially blacks. they have demonstrated this uncaringness before when watts and south central LA burned; when there were race riots in chicago; in the bombed-out sections of the bronx; when catholic priests were helping hutus massacre tutsis in rwanda (google 'war crimes' and 'rwanda': several were sentenced for crimes against humanity).
just like the anti-abortionists are only worried about unborn babies; once the baby is born, they dont come forward to adopt them.
here they are only worried about converting the non-christist. once you are converted, you are on your own, baby.
hypocrisy to the nth degree.
btw, i am getting seriously worried about american imperial overstretch. this is the sort of thing that paul kennedy talked about in'the decline and fall of the great powers'.

The evangelists are the core constituency of the Republican party. The republican party is the all white(stinking rich) party which doesnt care about blacks because they invariably support progrssive democrats. Then there is the senseless constituency of Indian americans ( particularly the stinking rich doctors and the fake men like Bobby Jindal) , and many of the readers of this blog and perhaps the blogger himself, who support the fake conservative republican party or have an open mind about supporting republicans.
one should appreciate the blacks of this country, they forgave the southern democratic(conservative) senators, who blocked civil rights legislation and then have rewarded the democratic party for supporting the civil rights movement by faithfully voting for them from then on. and we have our Indian -Americans who think that they are more 'white' than the white men themselves, while reaping every benefit of the civil rights and equality they are feeding the same philosophy and thought process(conserative) that sparked the inequality and segregation. I pity all such people
Rajeev, these frockling vultures understand and respect only violence. reason why they never try to 'harvest souls in middle east. In hurricane areas, these Niramala-type frocklings would be thoroughly bashed-up, if they try to propogate like they do in our tribal areas. These frockling parasites get nurtured only by anti-national pseudo-seculars and cryto greedy asses like Samuel reddy in our country.
With power and strength, we will have peace.
This might be an AMAZING TIME to convert African Americans to Hinduism. Why not?
Let's face it--the blacks got stabbed in the back by whites. Let's start by converting them to our religion
AFAIK, most relief organizations including Pat Robertson's and Benny Hinn's are already in Louisiana and Texas. Besides, NOLA was under "martial law" and not open to public. While it is true that FEMA has not done a great job, the perceived difference is political, not racial - the interview of Mississippi Gov (Rep) and the Louisiana Gov (Dem) come to mind. Part of the reason has to do with the old boy network that pervades NOLA - so the blame cannot be laid on FEMA alone.
Interestingly, http://www.ethicsdaily.com/article_detail.cfm?AID=6241 has a list of religious charities organizing relief for Katrina victims. Conspicuous by their absence are Hindu organizations in America. (I am sure there are efforts underway in temples)
the GOP spin point about the buses is ludicrous. has anyone been in a school bus.
I can't beleive that you gooper whores quicky forget that GOP armed Pakistan and sat idly by while tens of thousands of Indians were slaughtered.
Just because some website chooses/does not achknowledge them does not mean that they are not helping
I will remember that next time when I read pseudo-articles from pseudo-historians claiming that the "minorities" in India are not "patriotic" because "they did not do XYZ".
Now, you can't expect them to include heathen organisations and forces of darkness
I didn't expect them to (only because nobody told them to include), but even CNN's site (http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/katrina/help.center/) does not list any of your organizations. Or is the "help" limited to helping Indians/Hindus only?
Anonymouth, I'm perfectly aware of what happened in the 1980s.
I'm sure the relatives of the tens of thousands who died in the ISI inspired campagins of terror share your pain.
The fact is that while we can't undo the past, it's important for India that the US has a president who's tough on China and Islamist terrorism
Which President is that? The one who thinks Mushraff is a a key force in the 'war on terror'? Or the one who has no qualms about the Treasury selling hundreds of billions of bonds/notes to the Chinese?
san,
If the Shadow Warrior can ask in articles what contributions the minorities in India made to various catastrophes, I am entitled too. I was curious as to why there was no article from him suggesting that all Indian Americans contribute to Hurricane Katarina relief.
I was not asking anyone for a record of their contributions. My other point is to bring out the fact that as Hindus/Indians it would be nice if the listed charities at least got a mention in some website as helping the Hurricane Katarina victims. I don't understand why the Islamic Charities can be listed on websites but not the Hindu/Indian ones. We need to market ourselves better.

If the idea is to help, then there is no need to market who is the Mahatma, or to dovetail this help into something else. But we understand the current age politics, and understandably the secularism and christianity has nothing to do with it :). To come to your point, Charity begins at home. These people must be trained at home for the hindu identity. That is usually not a focus in hinduism, but for new requirements of marketing. SO people are not as familliar to market something which shouldn't be. That is the issue here, why inspite of all noise on secularism, hindu identity organizations would struggle. Change the identity in terms of focus, they would compete well in short time.

So the help should be limited to orgs listed by CNN? You are ofcourse "limited to help" by people listed on CNN. Doesn't mean everyone else has to get it's toe CNN's line. If there are some charities who are working quitely behind the scene without any expectation of pubilicity or soul-harvesting missions, more power to them.
