What's the over and under for how long it takes the first Islamic cleric to claim this is a work of God?

This is just another aftershock, I suppose. Of course, quakes of this magnitude were common in that area even before the big one last month.

It's all Bush's "fault" (pun sort of intended)!

Are they remaining aftershocks of a settling plate

-OR-

The ramp up to new activity?

I wonder if this is another aftershock from the Dec 26 quake. The rupture on the tectonic plate under Indonesia was so huge, there are bound to be more large aftershocks as things settle down.
