What if WWIII turns out to be Islam v Rest of the world
First of all. my perspective on the matter.
I live in Australia. Directly to the north is Indonesia, the worlds largest muslim population, with over 140 million people crammed into just over 2 million sq km. Australia on the other hand has just over 20 million people and over 7.5 million sq km. So the Indonesians have plenty of reason to invade Australia, if only for the space. Not to mention the natural resources that abound here. So i feel i have plenty to fear
My theory, to get to some sort of point, is that if and when Iran is struck by either America or Israel, that this could spark some sort of global revolt by all the islamic nations againt the rest of the world.
Personally i dont see the Australian Army (or the US for that matter) being able to respond and defend effectively given our commitments the the middle east.
If anyone has any thoughts on this i would be glad to hear from you
if either scenario takes place, that is an uprising of islamic or hispanic peoples in the US

Keep one very important factor in mind. The larger the army the more difficult it is to transport and supply it. Even if all these nations came together they simply don't have the logistical capabilities to support a huge army at a distance. The combined airforces and navies of the West would deny any military the ability to effectively move men and supplies. And an unfed, ill-supplied, non-battle-tested army is an unhappy army
Later than we think
The man in charge of hoodwinking the Western powers about Iran's now 18-year-old secret nuclear program believes the apocalypse will happen in his own lifetime. He'll be 50 in October.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Shi'ite creed has convinced him lesser mortals can not only influence but hasten the awaited return of the 12th Imam, known as the Mahdi. Iran's dominant "Twelver" sect holds this will be Muhammad ibn Hasan, the righteous descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. He is said to have gone into "occlusion" in the 9th century, at age 5. His return will be preceded by cosmic chaos, war, bloodshed and pestilence. After this cataclysmic confrontation between the forces of good and evil, the Mahdi will lead the world to an era of universal peace.
"The ultimate promise of all Divine religions," says Ahmadinejad, "will be fulfilled with the emergence of a perfect human being [the 12th Imam], who is heir to all prophets. He will lead the world to justice and absolute peace. Oh mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the promised one." He reckons the return of the Imam, AWOL for 11 centuries, is only two years away.
