Let us all join together and help to save fellow humans living in other parts of the world. Let us all join our hands together and give the unfortunate people a new lease of life.

Please help the Tsunami victims.

We all have seen the destruction and devastation of Tsunami in Southeast Asia around three weeks ago. Here is a list of government pledges published in yahoo news.

The Germans are topping the list with $810 million. Our neighbouring country India has pledged $25 million. I know Saudi Arabia has pledged around $30 million and UAE has pledged $20 million. My question is that with the recent oil price almost doubled per barrel -- where is our Arab brothers' money going ? Not to mention Brunei, which is right next to Indonesia. I remember that the Saudi Prince pledged $50 million after 9-11 to the US-- only to be turned down by the former NY City mayor, because of his remarks.

I am amazed by the outpouring of the donations from people here in the US and around the world. It saddens me not to see such behaviour from our fellow Muslim countries.

Instead of spreading rumours about the natural disaster being created by the US or Israel or India through their nuclear tests - they should first help these affected people.
