This sort of nonsense doesn't sound any better coming from Muslims than from Christians

Sheesh. If scantily clad women (whatever on earth this guy thinks that even means) could cause earthquakes every army in the world would be hiring strippers! Every time people need to dig a tunnel through a mountain it'd be "Get some girls to take it off, take it off, let's see if the mountain moves". HONestly!

On the note of things people who claim to disagree with each other say, remember the article a while back about Christians evangelizing by talking up about how Jesus is in the Koran *and* the Bible? Well, some Muslims, at least around here, do it too. Well, I guess that's fair, anyway.

Yeah, but if earthquakes are God's punishment, obviously He's not going to cause them when people are trying to get Him to do it.

I am so fed up with the agents of religious establishments trying to control peoples' actions by telling them that natural disasters are caused (or prevented) by human behavior. I have compassion for the ignorant peasants of benighted Third World countries who fall for this crap because they don't know any better - often because the religious establishments have gone to considerable length to block their access to secular education. I have nothing but contempt for the superstitious morons who have had access, since childhood, to the principles of science and logic, and nevertheless still cling to their erroneous beliefs because it's easier than thinking.

Why should an omnipotent and omniscient God bother with earthquakes? Especially if He's supposed to be a Just and Merciful God, because an earthquake is hardly a precision weapon. Why not just quietly stop the heart of any woman who dresses inappropriately, or any man who looks at one? Why not just make them get really fat, or develop unsightly rashes or something?

Perhaps the whole idea that the all-powerful Creator of the Cosmos cares about human fashions in clothing would bear re-examination.

I have the solution for the prevention of hijackings, and at the same time getting our airline industry back on its feet.

Since men of the Muslim religion are not allowed to look at naked women we should replace all of our female flight attendants with strippers.

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing a naked woman, and of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again in hope of seeing a naked woman.

Alcohol sales would increase, we would have no more hijackings, and the airline industry would have record sales.

Why didn't Presidents Bush or Obama think of this?

Why do I still have to do everything myself?
