The Year The World Attacked Islam?

Sorry, but I really cannot see this current North-African and Middle-Eastern situation growing into something that we could call "WW III" - meaning a full-scale open warfare between at least two opposing sides, technologically on similar level or at least comparable as global powers. At least not yet in a year or two. It would also take some public agenda, a big goal that would put such nations on the move.
There is no single country or force in the Islamic world yet, that could take the leadership, unite all or most Islamic countries and attack Europe successfully on open front. Yes - there is this big theoretical goal of Jihad and actually many Arabs would support it, but it would still take years to build up some united state and military structure, find this one leader that everybody will support etc (some new Caliphate). Also they really have to solve their Sunni/Shia conflict also. Until then - any single country or party actually trying to invade some part of Europe would be crushed quite quickly. And of course - terrorist attacks could get out of hand on Western soil, but it would still not be WW III yet. I think if some breaking point of Islamic terror is reached, Western countries would actually start expelling recent immigrants (innocent or not - remember American Japanese) and close the borders.
And China or Russia - I really doubt they would support and Islamic Jihad as such. Yes - it is suitable for them to take sides and play chess in smaller plots (Iran etc.), but some united Caliphate is also the last thing they would want. Also there really is no other big ideological or religious or reason for then to directly engage Europe or US. Economical take-over step by step could continue of course, but again - that's not open war yet and still will take years.

Little late here, wouldn't a true attack on Islam be directed not at various right wing gov'ts but the destruction of the various holy sites and the round up of all believers?

That which I just listed won't happen. No sooner than an attack on Catholicism.

Attacks against the various right wing Islam gov'ts? Who is going to pay for it? W/O $ the war machine grinds to a halt.

True world war would only happen now if the enough of one groups main contributors were being screwed out of $, as that is who the gov't works for. Since the main contributors are in play with all countries gov'ts, true global war is a thing of the past.

Now the threat of that war, that keeps the money rolling into the main contributors' accounts though! Why you think there is an MIC? When the Cold War ended, the money slowed to a trickle, but the 9/11 event was the ringing of another dinner bell for the money as that event was/is being exploited for their gain.

The Croud Control version of the MEB has already been dispayed on the Military Channel and the only difference between this one and the Larger Heavy Weaponized Version is specific Microwave Frequency and Power Source as the Weaponized Version is Nuclear Powered...but Electric. There is also whispered to be an MEB Satellite that can be launched at a moments notice but this is against the Space/Weapons Ban Treaty and would only be deployed in a National Emergency.

There is A LOT you can learn about the FEL as it will be soon installed on the new Ford Class Carriers...CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford and CVN-79 John F. Kennedy as well as will be installed on all Aegis Cruisers. You can just Google Free Electron Laser installed on U.S. Navy Carriers...and there is much information.
