Even the Palestinians in gaza were raising funds for Haiti.

And while not a Muslim country, Israel also sent troops and setup a field hospital.

Lots of help from countries people don't usually associate with love and kindness.

I don't find this at all surprising.

Not quite all the Muslims have the Koran in one hand and semtex in the other...

While an utter tragedy for Haiti, this "pulling together" from other countries, might just serve as a catalyst the world needs to begin trying on peace for a change? Working together, in peace for a common cause? Putting political and religious differences aside for the betterment of mankind. You might say, I'm a dreamer. But, I'm not the only one.....

Yup, sorry you're dreaming, but I admire your optimism and wish I shared it.

Back to the topic at hand,

Muslim's aren't the crazy whacked out people who are inept at lending a hand. Hell it's in their culture more than in ours.
It's the leftist, ethno-nationalist''s one I have a problem with.
