As the 30's come to a close a militaristic pan-Islamic movement is beginning to stir across Europe, Africa, and the ME. -2040-2045 the restless Muslims begin to be noticed by the rest of the world, Asia is the first to reach out, making large steps in welcoming many Muslims back to their homes in the ME.  Most of Iran, and parts of Iraq become home to large numbers of relatively well off Muslim minorities.  Meanwhile...Europe and the US fight hard to keep the Muslims far away from any of their global interests.  -2046 well armed bands of European Muslims begin to riot across most of Europe, the devastation of these confrontations leave large swaths of urban Europe virtual war zones.  Strangely, the Muslims are well armed and supplied, giving the European police and military forces as good as they take.  -2047 France, Serbia, Bosnia-Herz., Croatia, Macedonia, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, and Bulgaria all essentially descend into civil war.  The urban rioting becomes an all out uprising by the displaced Muslim populations.  Young fighting age Muslims outnumber the European police and military by a margin of 3 to 1.  The Muslims are particularly well armed in the Eastern European countries, while the Muslims in France, Spain, Portugal, and Hungary wage an urban querrilla warfare, turning a number of major cities in each country into war zones.  -2048 the US enters into the conflict offering aid to the scrambling European powers.  The US's involvement spawns a literal invasion of Muslims into the US held blocks of the ME from Africa.  Once again the Muslims are well armed and make significant gains.  -2049 The US is hit hard once again by the second oil crisis in the past 50 years, the Midwest in particular is hit hard, thousands of people by the years end move to the cities looking for work.</blockquote>
