#1 ISIS considers the various actions involving the Kaaba stone to be idolatry.

Their theory is not without some substance.

the Kaaba stone is not mentioned in the Koran, it is based on Islamic tradition and probably pre Islamic tradition and the veneration of the stone comes close to being an act of stone worship which would be idolatry. From this point of view, the destruction of the Kaaba stone would save many moslems from the fiery torment of hell since it would prevent this act of idolatry.

#5 How could a state, group, or an individual who embraces the peaceful religion of Islam target Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan, on the night of the Holy Qur’an, in the House of God, the Haram Al-Sharif? Several thoughts came to mind upon reading this:

1. First, was that Ramadan would be the best time for targeting.
2. Second, was that you reap as you sow.
3. Third, that maybe some Muslims might be waking up to the problems within their religion.
