Hapana ndugu, hii disaster usiilinganishe na Kilosa (Ingawa nayo kwa nafasi yake inahitaji attention!). Watu zaidi 100,000 (the whole population of Kilosa!) wanahofiwa kufa kutokana na tetemeko hilo!

Pat Robertson: Haiti 'Cursed' By 'Pact To The Devil'

Televangelist Pat Robertson said Wednesday that earthquake-ravaged Haiti has been "cursed" by a "pact to the devil."

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," he said on Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club." "They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal."

Robertson said that "ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other" and he contrasted Haiti with its neighbor, the Dominican Republic.

"That island of Hispaniola is one island. It is cut down the middle; on the one side is Haiti on the other is the Dominican Republic," he said.

"Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to god and out of this tragedy I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now we are helping the suffering people and the suffering is unimaginable."

Later that evening, Raymond Joseph, Haitian Ambassador to the U.S., began his appearance on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show by shaming Robertson and pointing out that Haiti's freedom led to freedom across Latin America. And they weren't they only beneficiaries from those historic events. "The U.S. was able to gain the Louisianna Territory for $15 million," Joseph added. "That's three cents an acre. That's 13 states west of the Mississippi that the Haitian slaves' revolt in Haiti provided America."

Where is the outrage? Ingekuwa some lone, unknown african showing his hatred towards 'the west' kusingekuwa na ukimya huu. We'll never win.

Tena mtu anayetumia dini kudharau watu na kupanusha biashara yake ya TV akitangaza mambo ya kitoto.
Kumbe kabla ya ile mapatano ya kisheitani anayodai ilitokea tarehe isiyojulikani na mahali pasipojulikani Haiti haikukaa juu ya mpaka wa mabamba ya gandunia (ambako ni sharti matetemeko ya ardhi kutokea)? Na haikukaa katika eneo la ikweta ambako maji ya vuguvugu inasababiusha kutokea dhuruba kali??
Halafu anaonyesha hana elimu (hata akijipamba kwa "Dr."): anamtaja Napoleon III ilhali huyu mfalme wa Ufaransa hakuzaliwa wakati wa Haiti kushika uhuru (anamchanganya na mjomba wake Napoleon I)

Soma mengine juu ya kashfa hiyo:
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/...the_devil_and_pat_roberton.html?hpid=talkbox1
"Michael Lindsay, a Rice University sociologist and author of the book "Faith in the Halls of Power: How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite," suggests that Robertson does indeed know what he's talking about, and why: "Pat Robertson continues to distinguish himself as American evangelicalism's most flamboyant spokesperson. When tragedies strike, people naturally ask questions about why bad things happen to the innocent, and millions of Americans see the hand of God or the devil at work in natural calamities," Lindsay said. "But few religious leaders today draw the kinds of explicit connection as Pat Robertson has done with the Haitian earthquake. Robertson's comments reflect as much his rhetorical flourish and skill as a ratings booster as they do his theology."
Years ago I wrote a column saying that we should pay attention to the crazy things Robertson says because his thinking reflects the thinking of millions of fundamentalist Christians, many of whom support his multi-million-dollar "Christian" media empire and the political views he espouses. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe the time has come to stop paying attention to Pat Robertson. Surely the time has come for Robertson to stop making such shameful comments."

It's amazing how some people can get away for saying ridiculous things, lakini tunaruka kucondemn our own when they 'don't act right', that to me is a definition of a sell-out. Go ahead people, collect them relief funds while they call you devil worshippers IN YOUR FACE.

Na huyu mtu ametengeneza millions of dollars in Africa. Ndiyo maana sometimes naona Islam could be a solution to some of our problems to some extent, you need to put some fear in people like these. Wanamsupport huyo Preval kwa sababu ni puppet wao baada ya kumuondoa Aristide aliyekuwa anataka kusaidia masikini.
