This article poses the important question of how the Muslim world would react to a strike on Iran, either from Israel or the United States. The article points out that given the recent hostility towards the West from the Innocence of Muslims film, most violence would be directed to the US. It is important to consider the way that Muslims outside of Iran would react to a strike on the nation.

I find the idea that should a physical threat be made against Iran that other Muslim occupied countries would unite to be quite accurate and terrifying. As alluded to in the Clash of Civilizations, I believe there to be a great possibility of an impending war based on religious beliefs. The Islamic community was already infuriated, especially with the U.S., by the Mohammed film. Any further attack (whether theoretical or physical) by the United States or by its allies could result in a quite dangerous situation.
