The news spread like wildfire.
Every single person in the Ottoman Empire was enraged. The Kaaba was destroyed. Holy Islamic sites throughout Arabia... gone. The Sultan was screaming, slamming his desk.
"AND THOSE FILTHY DISGRACES OF THE HUMAN RACE SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE AND THE SAME THING SHALL BE DONE TO THEM AS THEY DO TO OUR PEOPLE! WE WILL DESTROY THEM, SLOWFULLY, PAINFULLY, AND WITHOUT REMORSE!"
His advisors all agreed. Why wouldn't they? The barbarians (for now) in Arabia had reportedly destroyed the holiest site in Islam. He was steaming. His face was more red than a tomato. He was absolutely furious. He would go down there and hunt down these barbarians himself.
He gathered his men. He was planning an expedition.
(no, we haven't discovered Arabia yet)
