muslim nutjobs and jewchristian zionists both believe that
a) armageddon is coming
b) the messiah will be born on their side at some late stage of war.
c) this messiah will be almost the only one left alive after the coming war
d) there are no good or evil actions, only good or evil sides and their side is good.
e) god wants them to create and deploy weapons that will totally destroy the other, evil, side.
f) even if their side/people/country is totally annihilated, god will raise them from the dead to a perfect world as a reward for their actions.

the percentage chance of a predictive hit seems terrifyingly high.
