Such a quake off Lebanon would also do serious damage in Israel, and there is similar massive quake potential within Israel itself.
Don't bother trying to reason with such people - I've seen people gloating over quakes occuring in Christian areas of Indonesia because they thought they were Muslim areas.
Indonesia: muslim - 88%; Christian, 8%.
OK quick where are the "Christian" areas?
Any rational human being assuming the victims are muslim, have an 11 to 1 chance of being right.
Just saying.
