Tsunami was all Allah's doing

Some superstisious Muslim clerics have an interesting take on the tsunami.

"For Fawzan al-Fawzan, on the other hand, a Saudi professor who preaches sermons on a religious satellite television channel, al-Majd, no struggle with his beliefs was required. Far from it: for him the deaths of 150,000 merely proves the existence of a munificent God."

"Some of our forefathers said that if there is usury and fornication in a certain village, Allah permits its destruction," he told the faithful on December 31 while the rest of the world was extending sympathy and aid to the victims. "We know that at these resorts that unfortunately exist in Islamic and other countries in South Asia, and especially at Christmas, fornication and sexual perversion of all kinds are rampant."
