    Since the current people who dominate the land are not the descendants of the ones that the plagues afflicted, there is no legal basis. Plus while the God of the Israelites was the source of the plaques and the Muslims agree that they worship the same God as the Jews, they are suing for their own God's actions.

    It's pretty funny it's like suing over the bridge in London that was destroyed from the Harry Potter series.

    I read the article. It doesn't surprise me. When I tell people Muslims routinely sue genies in their courts they look at me as if they think I'm making it up.

    Just accept that when christians or muslims seem rational it's just a random accident.

    Well, if Muslims and Jews truly believe their "holy books" there's nothing at all laughable about it. They believe that stuff really happened, right?
