Nadine > 9/11 was no kind of display of technological prowess. It was 19 men with boxcutters, 4 of whom had some training as pilots, 4 normal passenger jets full of fuel, and a very carefully thought out plan. Are you saying Islamic radicals are too stupid to think of such a thing? Funny thing is, half the Muslim world seems to agree.

I'm saying 9/11 was a truly remarkable event in the history of the world. I can't speak for the Muslims but there's no doubt they have extraordinary powers. These are some of the reasons which I can think of:

. A sick Muslim hiding in a cave in Afghanistan masterminds the greatest terrorist operation operation in history -- and yet has never been officially charged for it.

. The best intelligence services in the Western world can't stop the attack even though they all apparently know about it.

. The Muslim shuts down the NORAD civil air defence systems of North America.

. Muslim hijackers become invisible and stroll onto scheduled airline flights without showing up on video surveillance cameras or flight manifests.

. Muslim pilot trainees learn within a few short weeks to manoeuvre multi-engine passenger planes better than any fighter pilot in the world.

. Muslims suspend the laws of Physics - Kerosene burning at 800 degrees apparently melts reinforcing steel support structures that normally require oxy-acetylene torches burning at several thousand degrees before they can cut through.

. Muslims knock down three WTC Towers with two planes, including one skyscraper (WTC7) which was not even hit and was barely on fire. Moreover, the buildings turn to dust within seconds and collapse into their footprints, leaving the 4 inch thick steel columns in suitable lengths so that they can be quickly removed.

. A Muslim's passport survives a raging inferno and floats gently down to Earth in pristine condition.

. Seven suicide hijackers are found to be alive after the event.

. Muslims also turn an airliner virtually invisible, thus no video surveillance camera can photograph it clearly before it hits the Pentagon nor is there any significant debris after the crash -- one seat, one wheel and assembly, parts of one jet engine, no tail section or wings, no passenger luggage.

As you say, no kind of display of technological prowess -- supernatural abilities, I'd say.
