I would not suppose that all Muslims are loving people anymore than any other religion would have all loving people. There are always exceptions with people and religions and some people have no religion regardless of where they live. You ask, "Where is Allah", and I would suggest he is or isn't there, does or does not exist. A possible positive approach to what we see in these photos is that if radical Muslims do not help then those who do suffer will remember. There is a saying for that, "Payback is *****." Now, if radical Muslims did help those who are not radical Muslims, then the world is in a bit more trouble, is this not true? So, perhaps Allah (or maybe even GOD, or G-D) is there, if he, she or it exists. Wishing the best for you.

Why do you assume they aren't? See: Red Crescent. Do a search for Muslim Relief & Charity.

I've seen a lot of people assume that Muslims aren't helping. Why do you think this? The international red crescent and countries like saudi arabia, kuwait and india have pledged millions each. Should they do more? Sure, and so should anyone who can afford it!

If your message is sincere then you have a thoughtful mind and a kind heart. I agree with the message you wrote.

Of course my message is sincere!! My heart literally aches when I see the pics of the poor children, just trying to survive. I think of my own children, laughing and playing and cuddling and just can't imagine what those children and their parents are going through. Just the thought of not being able to give my children clean water and food makes me sick to my stomach. Those poor babies don't deserve the horror that they are enduring right now. It's not fair and it's not right!!

I think I understand your question. I already have the feelings even if the article were all text. Some people like the photos although some do prefer all text. For me, I prefer photographs with text. For me the photos are, well, "more graphic" and carries a message stronger whether good or bad. An adage states that "a picture is worth a thousand words." I would pay less attention to an all text because there is so much of it. Before webpages there was only plain ascii -- just text. It could still be that way but we humans are highly visual in our senses. The colors are also pleasing to the eye and mind.

James-2295833, it is interesting that some men will turn away. Some will just stare. Others get situations under control as best as they can. When I look at those images above, I don't have to imagine they are here at home. I just see people (men, women, and children) that are in serious trouble and need help and if I could I would give them as much help as possible. The idea you present of it being a situation here at home is and my family being caught up in such a plight is horrible to the extent that it would perhaps elicit more emotions within me at a time when clear thinking is required. I do not view helping others as my "duty to the Eternal God in Heaven" but rather for me the situation is instinctive, and always has been, to "help the helpless" when I can. I have risked my own live many times because of this instinct -- or perhaps it is God working on me, I don't know but I will react and try to help. I do not care what religion a helpless person has or people have, if they are in danger I will try to help. If only everyone could be more tolerant of each other and learn world cultures what a wonderful world we could have. Years ago I had a friend who came from Saudi Arabia and I learned much from him about his ancestor's life styles and why they did such and such as well as how Saudi Arabia has changed in recent decades and is still trying to change. I think that the more a person travels the world and/or learns from others, that person can understand people and situations better.

Go sell that poop somewhere else. If my statement were so ignorant, why do they blow up their own children and others of their OWN faith? Why is it that they can think of some of the most brutal ways to kill and torture an person than anyone else?

Go sell your ideas somewhere else dude

You just cemented the case I made that you are ignorant. Seems you are the one trying to sell ideas, not me....dude.
