Dear Editor The prominent media report that Yemeni rebels (Houthis) killed Indians, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis etc in Najran region of Saudi Arabia (S.A) wouldn’t have such serious implications had it not been subsequent to laments coming from Iran where it took exception to S.A.’s claim that it started war in Yemen for the ultimate purpose of defending Mecca and Medina. The latest of such detailed lament is Sayyed Nasrallah’s speech on April 17 over Yemen (http://www.english.alahednews.com.lb/essaydetails.php?eid=29171&cid=385#.VVLpo_lViko) where he said that :- “[the topic which is both comic and tragic at a time which was evoked in the past weeks, and for which a call for jihad was made in some Arab and Islamic countries is defending the two Holy Shrines in Mecca and Medina- meaning the Kaaba and Haram Mosque in Mecca, and the Holy Prophet's Shrine in Medina.Who is threatening the two Holy Shrines? Is it the Yemeni people? Is it Ansarullah? Is it the Yemeni army? Today, I will tell you, and I will be frank. I am talking before Allah Al Mighty. Yes, the Holy Shrines in Mecca and Medina are threatened. However, who is threatening them? They are firstly threatened by "Daesh" [so-called "ISIL"]. Months ago, and after the "caliphate state" was declared in Mosul, we have heard that "Daesh" wants to reach the Arabian Peninsula and demolish the Kaaba. That's because in the intellect and claim of "Daesh", the Kaaba is a collection of deaf, black stones which are toured and worshiped instead of Allah. This is inconsistent with absolute monotheism. Well, yes, the Shrine of the Holy Prophet is in danger. That's true. However, who is threatening it? Here, I am telling you where this threat come from. It comes from within Saudi Arabia, and from the Wahhabi intellect and culture]”. It is not the first time that the demolition of Mecca & Medina is talked about. Throughout the history of Islam many disapproved worshiping a stone which they considered it idol worship and against fundamentals of Islam which believes in worship of abstract (and not of concrete or whatever is visible or perceived by senses). But it is serious this time for reasons given below:- (1)- For the first time Shia Houthis are fighting on the territory of S.A. (Najran) (2)- Other than various governments (S.A. etc) three Jihadi outfits are fighting / will increasingly fight Yemen war (Houthis, Al-Qaeda and ISIS - each having jihadi fighters from many countries). (3)- unlike Syria and Iraq (where governments are there of Asad and Haider al-Abadi) there is no government in Yemen. (4)- In present world armies are not needed to demolish Mecca & Medina. Even handful of suicide bombers can do it and which is a very easy and ordinary job for these jihadi outfits. (5)- In case of crushing defeat of any one (jihadis) they will try to demolish Mecca & Medina not so much in the interest of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat but in order to inflict maximum injuries to their actual and perceived enemy. (6)- Though Mecca & Medina being on its soil S.A. gets immense wealth from Muslims all over the world who come for pilgrim at Mecca & Medina and S.A. has disproportionately huge influence on other Muslim countries. But hundreds of millions of Muslims are weeping and bleeding (and millions lost their lives and displaced) from Name & Af-Pak region and S.A has not done anything to solve their problem. Hence (after initial shock and emotional outburst) in addition to the issue of worship of an idol / stone at Kaaba (allegedly un-Islamic practice) this factor may be considered a cause of divine justice by remaining Muslims all over the world in case of demolition of Mecca & Medina. It may lead to huge bloodshed between Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims all over the world because which ever jihadi outfit may demolish Mecca & Medina but Sunni will always think that Shia Houthis have demolished their places of worship. Therefore in order to tackle this initial shock and emotional outburst in case of said highly likely demolition of Mecca & Medina, the S.A., Muslims and world should be prepared for huge disturbances including bloodshed all over the world.
