Muslims not helping Muslims

Boortz has an interesting take on how Muslims are quick to cry about how they are oppressed around the world but when it comes time to help their own they are, as he puts it, "out to lunch somewhere. "

First up, Kuwait. Kuwait has pledged $10 million, up from an earlier pledge of $2 million. Some are pointing out that's not much, when you consider how wealthy that country is. The price of oil has roughly doubled, and Kuwait now has a $10 billion budget surplus. They've got the cash. So how's come the figure is so low? More on that in a minute. [...]

Some believe that the earthquake and tsunami were the work of Allah, punishing Thailand, for example, for prostitution. These Muslim nations sure can whine about the way Muslims are treated around the world, but when it comes time for them to step forward and show how much they really care, they're out to lunch somewhere.

That's okay, though....as always, the United States, who has freed more Muslims from tyranny than any other power, will be there to pick up the slack.
