IMHO, one thing that bin Laden and the crazy Iranian and others have in common is the return of the Mahdi, the 12th imam. They would save 'the big one' to fit into that prophecy somehow.
You said -- "IMHO, one thing that bin Laden and the crazy Iranian and others have in common is the return of the Mahdi, the 12th imam. They would save 'the big one' to fit into that prophecy somehow."
That may very well fit into what I have heard talked about. It's that the mosques in this country (and in Canada) are collecting a lot of data about our facilities in the U.S. and how to disrupt the entire country. They've got their "base of operations" in every mosque in the country. They will stage their attacks from every mosque when the *signal* comes from the Middle East.
Right now they are collecting information. They are assimilating it. They are getting ready for an all-out-push to invade Israel (at the right time). And they intend to eliminate the state of Israel and kill all the Jews.
To preven the U.S. from coming to Israel's aid -- they will launch a thousand simultaneous attacks here in the U.S. (do you remember what a couple of "shooters" did on the East Coast?)
They will also pull out the big weapons -- some WMD (maybe nukes, maybe biologicals). The size and scope of the attack will paralyze the U.S. -- the Muslims (and associated countries) will launch their attacks upon Israel to eliminate it -- and we'll be scrambling around here -- in this country -- just to survive and root out all the terrorists who are sleepers here -- right now.
It will be a massive internal fight here in this country -- going on for a long time -- before we overcome them. In the meantime, they are hoping to have accomplished the "final solution" for Israel and killing all the Jews (and also killing them here in the U.S. too, while they are at it).
That's what I've heard their long-range plan of action is.
They're just waiting for the right time to launch the invasion and the attack upon the U.S.
