100 yr old tree and MOAB

Muslim group hacks tree rumored to have powers

Hard-liners target banyan in Jakarta to prove there was nothing supernatural about it.

JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A hard-line Muslim youth group chopped up a 100-year-old banyan tree in central Jakarta to prove it did not have mystical powers, as rumors had led some locals to believe, officials said Tuesday.

Islam is a strongly monotheistic religion and believing in any power other than God is considered a grave sin.

Hard-liners in Indonesia often criticize other Muslims in the country for still practicing Hindu, Buddhist and animist rituals that predate Islam's arrival in the archipelago.

Kirk Sato: However as for karma goes, a MOAB from the US B-2 bomber fell on the Talibans Mosque in Afgansnistan, sadly there were nothing magical about it except a pile of dust.........

It's the freedom of religion that you badstard fanatics don't understand about. Apparently the concept went blank on the mind of those Muslims or perhaps Islams got no room for tolerance ?
