    We were since childhood taught that everything that happens in this world is controlled by GOD. since my childhood i was puzzled at this beleif by many because i could not understand how a moral God could stand & watch all the cruelty in this worl such as women getting raped, children getting miamed or killed etc. what raes said is correct if he said about hypocrisy of GOD.

    Every year so many people die on mecca pilgrimage too. Forget pilgrimage, brethern are killing kafirs in the name of God. Does that mean God has become so weak that he has outsourced the job of eliminating kafirs. Don't try to fish in troubled waters. If you are an atheist, that is another matter.

    Pathetic attempt to cover up pathetic mindset. Those who died in the accident were not politicians. Anyway, good for you sir. I am not going to comment more on this. Shame on such mindset.

    Raees,
    What do you mean by?
    Instead of criticize just pray for them.
    Everyone has to taste the death one day
