#3 I don't find any of this surprising. When you have an ins'allah ("it's the will of Allah") attitude about whatever happens, when you depend upon the Koran to explain EVERYTHING and ignore science, geography, and common sense, you're leaving yourself wide open to every natural disaster in the book. The Koran is worthless to explain how to live in a place like Indonesia, since it was written in, and for, desert-dwellers. If islam wasn't so da$$$$ insistent it has to micro-manage every single minute of its followers lives, they might actually live a bit longer, and be a bit more prosperous.

#4 My heart pumps piss. Is Bashir dead yet?

A poster over at JW contributed an interesting anecdote about one of the recent natural disasters to befall Indonesia;

Christians had been informed by their town's mayor that they were no longer welcome to hold any religious services within the city limits. As the group gathered for worship on Christmas morning, they walked for a while until they spotted a cleared hilltop.

They arrived at the summit and began their celebration of Christ's birth just in time to watch the entire town spread out beneath them get washed away by a tsunami.

#6 Outstanding link, PJ. I really appreciate getting some background on this story. While it is still unproven, it's hard not to like the plot line.
