Listening to Morgan Freeman's speech, I wonder what kind of Ummah we will face. Will we face one who wants peace, or will we face one that wants war and will destroy anything in it's way.
Since Islam is authoritarian in nature, I wouldn't be surprised if the Muslim nations allied with communist countries
Will 40 Muslim nations bring us into a nuclear war?
The Muslim world is far from monolithic. The Sunni-Shia divide, rooted in early Islamic history--specifically, the 7th century following the death of the Prophet Muhammad--continues to influence political alliances and regional conflicts today.
While there are serious tensions and rivalries, the prevailing trend among Muslim-majority nations in recent crises has been to call for peace, de-escalation, and a nuclear-free Middle East, rather than war or revenge. This also was the tone of Freeman's commentary.
The future of the Ummah will likely be shaped by a complex dynamic of religious, political, and diplomatic factors--not by a singular drive toward authoritarianism or conflict.
That said, I have speculated that any coalition of nations arrayed against Israel in the Gog-Magog scenario would most likely be assembled by Turk-Iranian leadership and catalyzed by the Muslim Brotherhood (Sunni). Iran, of course, is "Twelver" Shia.
For those interested in more about Islam’s "Twelvers," the largest branch of Shia Islam and the dominant sect in Iran, I have written a piece that includes a section on their history and beliefs:
As much as Morgan Freeman deserves the esteem in which he is held, he is completely wrong about Islam finding a sudden voice or Islam being a sleeping giant.
How counter factual can he be?
We have put up with on going Islamic genocide across many African nations for decades. We have put up with Islamic issues marching in our streets calling for death to America and Jews and Israel. We have put up with Pakistanis slaughtering Hindus.
We have read with disgust how Islamic countries treat non-moslems as well as moslem girls and women.
And now Israel, after years of Iranian proxy wars against their people strikes Iran to reduce the danger. And now *that* is "Israel striking first"?
Additionally, the Jew hatred implicit in Freeman's video is tragic. He i.plies that in effect Jews are only lowed to live thanks to the intimidation and acquiescence of the Moslems.

Thanks for your comment, Joseph!
