Some disasters are a warning, others aren't

Hesham A. Hassaballa ("A Midestern Muslim") says, in Beliefnet,

"Last summer, when hurricanes devastated Florida, I heard a disconcerting sermon at a local mosque. The imam said that such disasters should be taken as a “warning.” I’ve heard other imams say that after America is beset with a tornado, or a hurricane, or an earthquake, that it is "God's justice for America's wrong done unto Muslims."

So far I haven't heard of any imams preaching a similar message about the victims of the tsunami."
