Lounge of Tomorrow - View Single Post - Major Terrorist Threat in UK-US discovered

While on the subject of terrorism and Israel and all such related topics, there is a concern about Aug 22.

Augt 22 his year corresponds to a specific date on the Islamic calendar when Mohammad flew on a horse "first to the farthest mosque" and then to heaven. The "farthest mosque" is interpreted as a reference to Jerusalem.

I did a little poking around and found that the Koran describes this event as "lighting up the skies of Jerusalem."

A historian named Bernard Lewis wrote a piece in the Wall St Journal about this, and there are some experts that wonder if Iran is plotting a major attack on Aug 22, as the Iranian President has been talking extraordinarily tough lately and the ties of Iran to Hezbollah are well known. Some even theorize it could be nuclear, though I doubt that he would also nuke holy Islamic sites as well. But who knows.
