As I explained in Islam Unveiled, when Muslims suffer disaster, the solution is almost always more Islam. From the Telegraph, with thanks to Jeremy Langton:
Islamic militants in Morocco defied King Mohammed VI at the weekend by rallying behind claims that the country faced an Asian-style tsunami as punishment for immorality. Thousands of extremists took to the streets in support of the newspaper Attajdid, which called last month's disaster "an act of divine retribution" for South-East Asia's sex-tourism industry.The paper also outraged moderates by implying that Morocco risked the same fate because of a growth of prostitution and sex tourism in the kingdom, a phenomenon it described as a "calamity".
Demonstrators rushed to the defence of the newspaper, which is believed to be close to the Islamic-oriented Justice and Development Party, after it was savaged in the pro-government media.
"fundamentalism is the natural father of terrorism", said the Association for Combating Hatred and Racism.
Moroccans should be vigilant about an ideology "that under the cover of morality conceals inquisition and hatred'', it added.
Attajdid has since published another justification of its stance. It said: "We believe, as all Muslims always have, that earthquakes and disasters depend on the will of God. We are surprised that people who think in this way have their right to free expression scorned.''
Police intervened when 200 pro-government supporters gathered at the newspaper's offices and chanted "assassins" at the militants.
The Islamist party more than doubled its share of the vote in elections in 2002 to become Morocco's third-strongest party.
I MAY BE WRONG BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A FEW PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE RASIST ISALMIC TERRORIST??

How can you reason with the Islamic mind? A mind which is controlled by tradition, superstition, tribal customs, hatred, resentment, petty rivalries, brutal practices, disregard for human live and an idealogical drive for the conquest of the world. Reason and the Islamic world are diametrically opposed.
In short, the only answer is oil. Oil revenues is what breathed live into the Islamic fundamental movement of the late twentieth century and decline of oil revenues is what will send these movements back into decline.
America needs to make oil irrelevent by new energy sources. Without petroleum revenues the Islamic world will resume their decline begun after the Battle of Lepanto, Battle of Malta, their expulsion from Spain and Vienna. With new energy sources the modern world will move on and the Islamic world will recede into the past.
