Where is the Muslim aid?

…asks Hanns Stadelmann, a Hague reader of the International Herald Tribune.
Something really baffles me. Where is the tsunami assistance from Muslim nations? Why do I see only the Red Cross and not the Red Crescent? Where are the aid workers from Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Morocco, to name but a few?

Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation on earth, the province of Aceh, the most conservative of all. Shouldn't Aceh be saturated with doctors and nurses and helicopters and aid workers from all these Muslim nations?
