Whenever someone leaves a genuinely absurd comment that makes Muslims appear to be complete morons, I check the IP address to make sure it's from a predominantly Muslim area and also if possible, I look over previous comments left by that reader to see if he or she truly supports Islam.
I do not need a bigot shill to leave remarks making Muslims look like babbling idiots since Muslims do that by themselves without any help from infidels.
The jokes from my article, Muslim Humor - Muslim Jokes, have appeared in over 2,600 forums and websites (1) and so this post draws readers from all over the world.
Currently it is the most commented upon post in my archives with more than 636 comments and running. One of those comments is the following left by a reader from Malaysia calling himself 'sima brothers:'
do u all christian think...use ur brain...on what happened in BALI TSUNAMI in the past...why all the church has been wiped out and why only the one mosque standing at the centre of that city...WHYYYY????? U THINK URSELF....what is the great power that can preserve that mosque and the water split around it...use ur brain unless u're brainless...
[Before we continue, let me say that I encourage visitors who are not fluent in English to leave comments so I ask my readers not to criticize his grammar or spelling but to keep the discussion on the topic of Allah's miracles]
I responded by noting that the majority of those killed in the tsunami were Muslims, why would God do that if not to get rid of too many Muslims?
The standard Muslim answer to that of course is that those were 'Muslims in name only,' not true Muslims. Which is also the standard answer to the question of why 99% of all terrorists in the world are Muslim - they are not true Muslims. It is all so neat: if Allah makes bad things happen to Muslims, they couldn't have been true Muslims; if Muslims do bad things, they couldn't have been true Muslims. Is there a more delusional people on this planet?
In general, very large mosques are built better and with more expensive materials than the huts and shacks around them so indeed some mosques do withstand natural disasters better. In the top photo we see a mosque that survived a terrific earthquake in Turkey in 1999. Muslim sites have reproduced these pictures claiming they are miracles of Allah.
So, let me ask you "sima brothers," were the following mosques destroyed by earthquakes, floods, and mudslides because they were mosques in name only, they were not "true" mosques?

ENDNOTES
(1): One way I check to see if others are republishing my articles is to use a phrase that is unique to my article. For example, before the post was published I googled the phrase "What's the difference between a Muslim and a dead horse?" and found zero results. Over the years it has increased and as of this writing there are now 2,660 search results in Google.
