World Religion?

Question...

I founded my own religion, and was situation on a continent with Arabia, whose Islam was dominating like crazy, spreading to 2 other civs. At this time, the W.C. was founded and Carthage made a proposal to adapt ISLAM as a world language. In the 90 turns (I play on Marathon) before the vote, I went to war and crushed Arabia, capturing their holy city of Mecca. Since then, I've converted most of the cities (including Carthage's cities) to my own religion.

Then... when the W.C. meets up, they adopt Carthage's proposal! World Religion is Islam! What does that mean for me since I control their holy city, while keeping my own religion prominent?

I think OP wants to know whether you gain the tourism bonus in the captured holy city or not. I am also wondering whether that's the case. The follower civs who have Islam would have 2 additional delegates and Islam would spread faster, so yes, it's best to repel the world religion ASAP as shown in previous post.
