Pakistan and aid

Submitted by john (United Kingdom), Aug 5, 2010 at 10:22

Why oh why is Pakistan clamouring for aid from the West - and the UK govt. has just given £6m. We know much of it, 90%, will vanish into the coffers of corrupt Pakistani politicos, Islamist or fanatical Muslim immams. The Arab world is awash with money. Please let us know, oh followers of the Prophet, how much has come your way from the Gulf . Until then, let us hope that private non-Muslim donations dry up.
