		Upon arriving in Cairo, Jasper was immediately sent to Damascus, Syria to have a "magic duel" with the Iman of the Whirling Dervish tribe who was threatening a jihad or holy war if the British used an evacuation route that ran through Dervish territory in what was then Palestine, Transjordan, Syria and Turkey.
