Considering that the stone itself has been destroyed and/or stolen at least three times in its history, the answer is more like 'Well, no - not really, actually...'
My point was that there'd be a sense of dismay and general unhappiness in the Islamic world. Like there'd be in Christendom, if Rome and St. Peter's Basilica got asteroid-ed. I did not mean to imply that I thought of the Islamic faith as being based on "idol worship," or anything of that sort, and apologize if through poor communication I made it seem as though I was making that implication. I do, however, believe that the destruction of a holy city (Mecca, Rome, whatever) would cause the believes of the faith to which that city is holy to undergo some soul searching etc..
Please note that my interpretation of what the outcome of Mecca's destruction would be tended to focus on the possibility of an "end times" mentality taking hold, leading to the strengthening of the Islamic faith. I was
not making the crazy American-right-wing assertation that "without their magic stone, them Muslims would all become good Christians," but rather pondering the possible impact of the sudden and unexpected destruction of a holy site (Mecca) on the faith to which that site was holy.
I think Abdul summed it up best the last time this was brought up:
Furthermore, since the Kaaba merely marks the spot on earth directly beneath the Bayt ul-Ma'mur, the location remains holy even if the physical building has been destroyed. They'll just rebuild the whole area.
I never said that they wouldn't rebuild, indeed I took it for granted that they would. My points were just dealing with the potential for "end times" sentiments to take hold and the strengthening/intensification of the Islamic faith that might result from such sentiments.
Again, I did not mean to offend, and apologize for poor communication.
