I bet Iran will eventually threaten to nuke Mecca if anyone attacks them

And lost the bet. Nuking Mecca is the thing muslims fear most. It would utterly destroy Islam, as Allah would have proven unable to protect the Rock and the heart of Islam. The muslims believe Allah controls EVERYTHNG down to the sub-atomic level.
With the destruction of the Rock, current muslims would convert or become atheists. This is no secret, just not talked about.
That made me think about a sci-fi movie with Roddy Piper the wrestler, he finds a pair of special glasses that allows him to see aliens that have invaded the city, and ultimately he destroys the mind control transmitter and everybody sees the aliens for what they are.
If Mecca was absolutely destroyed, nothing but a crater, just what would the hundred million or so Moslems around the planet Earth would do?
Maybe some will indeed just snap out of it but I would bet on a whole heck of a lot no matter what just going totally Jihad, on anything, uncoordinated and without any remorse.
