Okay, I'm no expert on Islam, but this is something for my AAR, and something I was wondering.
Is the location of Mecca and Medina and all the various things there (such as the Kaaba, etc) particularly important to Islam? I think so, just confirming.
Let's say somehow (maybe with ASBs if needed) Egypt, the Levant, and Anatolia falls to crusader armies, the Mamluks and Ottomans are wiped out. Now, let's say the crusaders attack Medina and then Mecca, and they manage to capture both cities.
Would it be possible that the fleeing Muslims take the important Islamic relics with them and move them to another city, a possible Mecca-in-the-East, a holy city in exile while the true city is occupied by the infidels?
Or would they just leave everything there even if Christian crusaders captured the cities?
