Shiites do not want to possess Mecca and Medina. They want to replace those sites with their own holy sites located further east. That is why they want nukes real bad. Destroy Israel, attack Mecca and Medina, and it will create the chaos or vacuum for the new Mahdi led Caliphate. Obama and the Corrupted Oligarchs are playing right into the Iranian hand.
See this is where the 12’ers come in. And I don’t know enough about them beyond the overall philosophy of the 12th imam and the chaos needed to bring his return etc.
Shia have their largest populations in Iraq (60–65%), Iran (90–96%). So, they may well figure that now is the time to play their hand if they have a deliverable nuke (if we assume that they have at least one working unit maybe two) They may not be high yield, but it’s probably enough to kill millions. Toss one into Riyadh maybe another into Israel, and it sure would change the dynamics.
I do suspect that the real target is the House of Saud.
Destroy Mecca and Medina? OK...that’s a new one on me, but I’ll cede that point. If the Shia want new holier places Qom I assume is the new Mecca since the Mahdi was tossed in the well there or something like that.
We are dealing with people who have been breeding with their first cousins for 1400 years. Nothing good comes of it.
