It was inevitable, wasn’t it? The only question being, which bearded loon in a skirt would be the first. And the winner is…
A Palestinian cleric preaching on Hamas TV said the volcano in Iceland and the volcanic ash that paralyzed European air travel were sent by Allah to punish “Infidels and polytheists with fear and terror.”
Quite. Everyone knows how all Europe’s troubles are caused by polytheists.
The fine gradation of various punishments by Allah becomes a tough study bu itself. Volcano for infidels, earthquakes for immodest behavior by the ladies – I mean, for Allah’s sake, can’t all this be simplified a bit?
It was a close run thing.
Other bearded loons were blaming a different god. This story is also dated 23 April.

Well I was going to blame the Jews.
An opportunity missed, Ross. Perhaps they conspired to make the volcano erupt, though?
