It is just prior to their idea of a rapture.
If so, what happens to their “religion” when there’s no Day of Judgement after the destruction of Mecca?
all faithful Muslims will have been raptured off the planet. The rest will have to fight and die 'honorably' to attain heaven (martyrdom is a get-out-of-jail-free card, you know).
There is a bit about it here.
Forgive me if I am vague - it has been many years since I last took a crack at the koran and hadiths. But the destruction of the ka'ba (and in places, Mecca, is part of their prophetic expectations.
So destroying Mecca would not be enough to persuade them that Islam is a scam?
Islam is a cancer on mankind. One cannot coexist with cancer. Either the cancer is destroyed, or you die.
As Lincoln said “This country cannot remain half-slave and half-free; it must some day be either all-slave or all-free”.
Expanding on that thought, the world cannot remain half-Muslim and half-non-Muslim. It must eventually be either all-Muslim or all-non-Muslim.
Which is your preference?
