Pray For Survival

From an on line article I read this morning ...

"Thousands in Banda Aceh gathered in the ravaged city's mosques to pray to Allah for forgiveness and for their survival.

For many Muslims in this northern Indonesian province the giant walls of water that crashed ashore were punishment.

"God may be reminding us that we have forgotten him, ignored his words, and disobeyed his order," Din Syamsudin, secretary of the Indonesian Ulema council, said in his sermon."

I think Allah punished the wrong folks ... in other parts of the world, the killing continues. They probably didn't get the message.

So, why would God do this? People are asking.
