as Syria et al try to explain how it was that some 20ish Wahhabis were so brilliantly brainwashed, kept that way for x years, learned to steer a jet - and died for Israel.. with Allah on their lips (cockpit xmission IIRC).
I suppose that the only ones rejoicing locally over this nascent event - are the ones yearning for that Armageddon thing, all a hopin to get raptured out so's to watch the show from an airy perspective - nodding heads, smugly.
I'd prefer the explanation you uncovered - otherwise the silliness-Q of the entire species takes another hit, and religious inculcation of the young looks more and more like a form of aflatoxin - as well as the usual child abuse.
Bad time for visiting civilized planets, with a Terra visa..
