OOT: It has too often been forgotten, throughout history, that religious zealotry and insanity can come in all shapes and colors. As you read this thread, if you become angered by something, remember...the events could have been twisted and changed a bit to change the religions and places involved. Insanity in our world, unfortunately, comes in all shapes, sizes, and varieties. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...


After the events of 9/11/01, the world was a very different place. The actions of the United States of America, from September 11th until the day of disaster, were not put forth as a war against Islam itself.

Unfortunately, there were some in the world who did not agree with this hypothesis. Extreme right-wing elements in Israel viewed the events of 9/11 as the beginning of what Islamic radicals would call the final Jihad against the West. They were at first disenchanted, and then alarmed, by the attitude of the United States, and the Israeli government. They, realistically or not, did not believe that the United States would realize in time the extent of what they viewed as the existential threat posed not by Islamic terrorists, but by Islam itself. They decided that they had to take action on their own.

We will never know where they got the materials from. What we do know is that this element in Israel counted among their number the chief of the Israeli Mossad. A crazed, insane plan was created...and carried out by agents who had long ago pledged to spend their lives in deep cover in Saudi Arabia.

On the morning of September 11th, 2002, at 9am Jerusalem time, the cities of Mecca and Medina were each destroyed by one-megaton nuclear explosions.
