#1 I wonder what'd happen if Syria were to be de-Sunni-fied?

#5 Which one is Minas Morgul, and which one is Orthanc? (I think I know...)

If Mecca is Minas Morgul, then the Iranians are playing the role of Saruman and his Fighting Uruk-hai (not to be confused with The Fighting Irish) and are due for a big fall.

Is Israel the stand-in for beset and besieged Rohan? Will Israel/Rohan, despite feeling abandoned and unappreciated by Gondor/USA, best Saruman/Iran at great cost to Israel/Rohan and ride to the rescue of Gondor/USA?
