US: Parts of the Islamic world are "big on talking about jihad" but have fallen short in aiding Muslim victims of the Asian tsunami, according to the US Deputy Defence Secretary, Mr Paul Wolfowitz.
Speaking to a Senate hearing this week about the international response to the disaster which left some 300,000 people dead or missing, Mr Wolfowitz also said the European military response could have been greater.
"There's been very little generosity so far from parts of the Muslim world that are big on talking about jihad and other things," Mr Wolfowitz said, "but when 200,000 people - all of them Muslim in the case of Indonesia - died in this catastrophe, there's not much help forthcoming."
Jihad is a broad term in Islam and generally means a struggle for the benefit of the Islamic community, from an internal struggle to be a better Muslim to a violent conflict in defence of the faith.
"I hope those people might think a little bit about what they've done and what they haven't done," Mr Wolfowitz said, without specifying whom he meant.
