If for no other reason than the obvious animosity, it's reason for them to worry.

"7. Shia's Mahdi will destroy the Ka'bah and the two Holy Mosques of Mecca and Medina

القائم يهدم المسجد الحرام حتى يرده إلى أساسسه ومسجد الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وإله إلى أساسه

بحار الأنوار 52/338 , الغيبة ص 282

"Al-Qaim (Shia's Mahdi) will demolish Haram Mosque (in Mecca) down to its foundation and the Messenger's Mosque (Prophet Mohammad's s.a.w. Mosque in Medina) down to its foundation." (Al-Majlisi, Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 52, p. 338, and Al-Tusi, Al-Ghaibah, p. 282)"
