Nellie,

"Nice Ramadan present from God to the dirty Muslims in Pakistan. Revenge for 9/11. I am having an exquisite moment of schadenfreude watching the Taliban and their minions drowning in mud."

This approach to natural disasters is my favorite. After each and every natural disaster, someone comes and tells us the real reason behind this: God's revenge against this and that bunch of people since they did this and that things.
I was enlightened and inspired by your above explanations and had already found additional explanations for some past disasters. You know, if God takes revenge this should be known by everybody and should not remain unnoticed.

2010 Haiti earthquake: 230.000 dead. God takes revenge for the rebellion and overthrowing of Aristide, their leader who is also a priest. He was oppressive but who cares?
2008 Sichuan earthquake: 70.000 dead. God takes revenge from Chinese since they are producing low quality goods. They are one fifth cheaper but still they should have been high quality. This is cheating and God knew this.
2005 Hurricane Katrina: 2.000 dead. God takes revenge from the New Orleans since the Jazz Clubs were in increase and this would make a lot of noise.
Natural disasters have natural grounds. Sometimes humankind has active or passive influence on triggering these natural reasons and their results. God not.

Sarkan:

"Natural disasters have natural grounds. Sometimes humankind has active or passive influence on triggering these natural reasons and their results. God not."

This view, of course, is held by those who either don't know, choose not to believe, or otherwise dismiss God as the creator of the universe who established those "natural laws".

A historic paralllel to this would be the plague of Athens.
During Pericles' time when the Athenians themselves began to stop being religious as they found that religion was doing nothing for them.
This is why all of a sudden the Taliban are saying that they want to be humanitarian because they know that this is the time when people start asking serious questions
