** The book says that in 1979, the ruling elite of OneWorldOrder (which despite being based in Iraq is mostly white and has no Arab members) would completely abolish the Islamic religion by occupying Mecca and demolishing all the mosques (inspired by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's seculuarization of Turkey). As Lebanese-American scholar George Nasser pointed out, the real life 1979 saw the establishment of the theocratic Islamic Republic of UsefulNotes/Iran, and the UsefulNotes/SovietInvasionOfAfghanistan and the subsequent mujahideen uprising. These two events would re-invigorate Islamist extremism in the Middle East, and [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror we all know what happened after that]]
