Humans generally are pretty good at adapting. To its credit I think Saudi got a good grip on the situation and is expecting to go ahead as scheduled with Hajj this summer. Also, thank you for the bounty! | |

Muslims as a whole generally only get offended by things deliberately engineered to offend, such as in the case of the Danish cartoons. When it comes to cases like this, most ordinary Muslims will just be glad that you took the time to represent them accurately as possible, because as things are that's a high enough bar even in industries like Hollywood. I also guarantee you that the type of uber-conservative Muslims to get offended at minutiae like this are not the type to read scifi, or even many books at all. | |

They wouldn't need the world's buy-in, just some local riot control police. It only now occurs to me to look up what's going on due to COVID — very similar situation! | |

| Jan 12, 2021 at 16:11 | comment | added | SKKennell | There is about 2 weeks notice before the destruction to get things moving, but hoax rumours could also factor delays in the removal of cultural and religious artefacts but I have kept that as something to consider but I'm not sure how well the idea of moving the Kaaba or any Islamic artefacts would be taken with Muslim readers. | |
