All I know is that they're playing Daedalus/Icarus, flying way too close to the sun. E.g., the "Voice of God" tech, already deployed in battle, is just plain...wrong. (Victims hear a voice directly in their heads..."This is Allah: drop your weapons!") Such hubris rarely goes undealt with for long. "There is no fear of God in them."

That's what I've heard, yes.
