I had a conversation with a person last week who claimed that the Tsunami/Earthquake in Asia "was a clear message from G-d. A punishment to all sinners (he used the words radical Muslims) in the world, a reminder that G-d exists and is more powerful than man."
I think this goes against all the principles of Judaism. It disgusts me, and I hope many others too, that in such a time of tragedy someone can think this way. That this person calls themselves a "religious" person astounds me.
I have no words - shame on you, you know who you are!
