Disaster's Cause?
A Muslim cleric on Saudi TV insists he knows what caused the deadly tsunami in South Asia — Christians. Saudi Cleric Muhammed Al-Manajjid says, "[Christmas and other Christian holidays] are accompanied by forbidden things, by immorality, abomination, adultery, alcohol, drunken dancing ... and revelry. ... [So] At the height of immorality, Allah took vengeance on these criminals."
He did not explain why the vengeance was taken on largely non-Christian nations.
Back in the U.S., meanwhile, a writer on the Web site Democratic Underground (search) said President Bush and the war in Iraq could be to blame. The writer, quoted by The New York Times, says, "You know, we've exploded many millions of tons of ordnance upon this poor planet. All that 'shock and awe' stuff ... Perhaps the earth was just reacting to something that man has done to injure it."

And with this, no personal committment of aid is required. Islam is Peace - or - may they rest in peace)
There goes my "Ted and Hilary sitting down at the same time" theory...
Why let a little thing like that interfere with a crazy radical religious cleric's explanation??
Leave it to a brainy liberal to think that exploding bombs might cause the earth to seek retribution.
Might be something this time the Muslims understand. Mother Earth groans and vomits out it's inhabitants when the people's ways are continuously wicked. I'd say it does happen.
I knew it was my dancing.
Bush's fault. Christians fault. Americas fault. It sure didn't take long for the blame game to begin!
Heck, it snowed in Houston, TX on Christmas day.
Sounds like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell giggling over the World Trade Center.

Maybe all this "abuse" on the earth just left it with indigestion? It had a large burp?
I look at it another way, look at Bam, Iran, and the Tidal Wave in the Indian Ocean..............on December 26, 2003, 2004.........Who received the wrath of God? The muslims.....the true infidels.....what do you think?
Proving once again that Allah can be one fickle cat.
Throughout history, a reckoning has always come for civilizations stuck centuries behind the norm -- education or extermination.
Ha, what took em so long to figure it out?
Everyone has more fun that I do.
My fault!
I was bottling up all this personal angst inside me, instead of calling down the righteous wrath of justice, attempting to practice compassionate conservatism for my self-avowed enemies, instead of consigning them to their logical fate...
er...Sorry!
And I saw "Rev." Fred Phelps blaming it on Swedish tourists... and a Hindu cleric -- and a lot of so-called Christians -- blame it on the muslims. I'mn surprised no one here is blaming it on the French... or Hillary Clinton... or the French working with Hillary Clinton
