The earth's axis didn't stir... Indonesian islets didn't budge...

From the very source that you quoted here:

Q: How large was it?

A: It was the largest since the 9.2 quake in Prince William Sound in Alaska in 1964 and the 4th largest in the century. The quake moved the entire island of Sumatra about 100 feet toward the southwest and even disturbed the Earth's rotation. It was the first tsunami in the Indian Ocean since 1883. Waves of around 30-40 ft in height and even greater were widely reported.

Personally, I don't find very credible a "freelance journalist" who claims the US must have caused the deaths of 150,000 people by planting nuclear bombs on a fault line. Really. But you seem to find her credible, so I thought you might like to revise your assessment of "islands didn't budge" etc based on what her little Q&A soliloquy says...
