@Yankee Kid: the asteroids are in orbit around the sun, but they're not from it (the sun is an enormous ball of mostly hydrogen gas, and does not eject rocky material).
As you rightly said, the sun is entering a period of increased activity, which results in more sunspots, and more intense solar winds, and rather incredible explosions of plasma.

On the level of directly and indirectly leading to millions of deaths, the comparison between Mein Kampf and the Koran is apt, and prefacing one with the word "holy" does not absolve it.
