After the World Trade Center attack, there was an email forward that, if it did not hit your inbox, it probably means you had no friends. (Which explains why Chad is going to be completely confused by this next couple of paragraphs.) It was a quoted bit of scripture from the Islamic Holy Qur'an's ninth chapter, eleventh verse that almost certainly foretold the Osama bin Laden ordered terrorist plot and what would happen next:
For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome eagle. The wrath of the eagle would be felt through the land of Allah, and lo while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the eagle cleansed the land of Allah; and there was peace.
