Please look at this chart that shows 21 earthquakes with a 5.0 magnitude or higher beginning with 11/11/2004, which was the date of Yasser Arafat's death, and by the time you read this e-mail there could possibly be more.  I think it's interesting that the earth is getting more violent earthquakes of a greater magnitude since Yasser Arafat's death, and he was the head of a violent terrorist organization.
