“ISIS when they rolled onto Mosul back in 2015, wanted to destroy Mecca kabba rock within 5 years. They see the rock as idolatry.”
I’m inclined to agree with them on that. LOL
The kabba is a strange story. I did a web search on the whole matter not long ago.
The most significant point to me was it’s orign. Apparently this rock was holy to some ( necessarily ) pre-Islamic group, and they were at an impasse as to who would have the honor of installing it in some temple.
So, the factions agreed to assign the task to the first stranger to approach the temple. This just happened to be ... yeah you got it ... Muhammed.
It’s a perfect story.
That rock was stolen for about 20 years, c. 930 and kept in Bahrain IIRC. Folks thinking we can go Enders Game on them, wipe out Mecca and end Islam in one fell strike need to study what happened back then carefully.
