It was not being insensitive...but like you said, religion brings similar people together, and he was trying to bring light of the Muslim's situation to an Islamic forum. But at the same time, he wasn't taking away from the tragedy that this has become.
I wouldn't know what he cares about, i only know what was written. I think separating the dead into muslim and non muslim does undermine the disaster and the suffering that it's caused. I don't think that is necessary information at a time like this.

happy?


you should give ur brother 99 reasons before giving him a single doubt, as par the hadith
Why would you think that would make me happy? This isn't a *** for tat game. I wasn't judging you and i didn't doubt you but i do/did think your brought up something that was inappropriate and irrelevant.
