Three cities in Saudi Arabia were hit by suicide bombers yesterday. One of the sites targeted was near the Prophet's Mosque in the Muslim holy city of Medina. The implications of suicide bombers striking near the burial place of Muhammad as opposed to Paris, a gay bar, or social services center is left to the alert reader. Peace in our time.

Stability is fragility. Anyone listening to Taleb for the past decade has seen the fall of The House That Abdullah Built coming a mile away.
Or perhaps Islam is having a theological revolution and suddenly icons aren't as important as faith and works to the new school?
Or perhaps blood oil is thicker than holy water.

*. Carlos Maslatón, insanely bright guy, who sadly has a long history of going to business bed with wences. Can't link to his articles, bc he shares not only the age with Taleb, but also the tendency to write on 'social media'. Can grep for 'mata' on his Derpface profile, if you care.
