The world's great religions are almost all expecting today. These are very pregnant times. The Christians are of course expecting the second coming of Christ or the Messiah. The Jews, especially the fundamentalist jews who are settling the occupied terrotories are still expecting the first coming of the Messiah. In their view, Israel must attain its biblical borders for this to happen. Thus they were elated with the success of the 1967 Yom Kippur War, but quite dismayed at the loss of those borders after the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The choice of the Egyptians to attack on the Highest Holy Day of Judaism would logically imply that it's the Jewish Holy War rather than Islam's.
