Bin Laden Loves Rita


Hurricane Rita will be Bin Laden’s strongest propaganda tool.


Albert Einstein once famously said: “God does not play dice with the universe”. So why is he making life so hard for us who are struggling to tell people that Bin Laden is not on God’s side?

Hurricane Rita, which is now a category 5, is expected to be the strongest that has ever hit the United States. This is just after 2 weeks from Katrina which wreaked havoc on the gulf coast.

Here’s a not-so-funny story line that I can already imagine fanatic mosque preachers telling: “The first Hurricane (Katrina) hit the biggest American oil producing area, as a punishment for their Iraq adventure. The second one is going straight to Huston Texas, George Bushes’ own turf . Allahu Akbar!”

A look at the expected path of Rita (above) can only make their case more plausible to their zealous audiences.

God, please have mercy on the victims of Katrina and Rita.
