This is a BS report... there have been no quakes recorded in the region in the last day:

There’s nothing on any of the cable news shows either.

Hoax?

The writer could be referring to this one:

Magnitude 5.1 - GULF OF ADEN
2011 February 20 09:09:58 UTC

I'm skeptical, too - but two things give me pause. One, I'm not sure how the network of sensors feeds in from that area of the world - I went to one of the Egypt scientific web sites, and in at least one zone, they still sneaker-net data on floppy from one area to another.

Also, here is at least one other source of news discussing an earthquake in that area. I find it interesting because even though the timeframe is the same, the reported magnitude is much smaller - and it is from an Egyptian site that attaches no religious significance to the event.

Checking your link there was a 5.1 at the Gulf of Aden on the 20th. Perhaps that is it.
