Lets say that Bin Laden chooses Vatican for religious/ideological reasons for his airplane attacks...
What happens next?
What happens next?
The whole Roman Catholic world be ignited into a furious rage. Especially resentment from South America towards Arabs would grow tremendouly.

There's a section of South America where three states (can't remember which ones) intersect, the governments are weak, and agents of Hezbollah and possibly AQ have been spotted.
Something tells me that won't be a viable hiding spot anymore if AQ wipes out the Vatican.
This is one of a few actions - along with Jewish or Christian fanatics blowing up the Dome of the Rock or a non-Muslim power nuking Mecca - that would cause a true clash of civilization and a very long global religious war. There would be pogroms against Muslims and Arabs across Europe and Latin America, increased terrorism, and certain military action by the West, which is far more likely to be seen as a crusade by the Muslim world given the nature of Al Qaeda's target.
Jack T. Chick writes a bible tract about how God is punishing the Catholic Church for their sinful Mary worship.
Nah, he'll start the truther movement with "This is actually a plot by the Vatican, who started and control Islam, in order to seize control of the world. Osama Bin Laden? More like Osama Been Jesuit!"
