I was thinking the same thing.

If no one wishes to act against thier enemy due to what the enemy may do, then you have lost. The religion is the problem. Taking out evey leader of islam and every mosque is a start, but I'd rather take out the head of the snake and let the body die. I was only offering what I believe to be a solution, as there is no centralized leadership. No Hirohito, no Fuehrer. Only mecca and medina and every mosque and self proclaimed leader.

As for Jerusalem, I don't believe that it is even in the koran. If I remember, they declared it a holy site because muhammed had a dream of some place unnamed and the leaders declared this place to be Jerusalem, which muhammed never even went to.

A TAPESTRY OF DECEIT. (SNIP)

Past myths are claimed today as historical fact in the mill of Muslim historical Revisionism. For example, in 683 CE Caliph Al-Walid built "Al Aksa" Mosque over a Christian church located on the Temple Mount, the site of the Jewish Temple, built by Solomon - 60 years after the death of Mohammed. Caliph Al-Walid named his Mosque "al Aksa" after a mythical dream that Mohammed supposedly had that: Mohammed flew to a place called ‘al Aksa’ (which means the ‘furthest place’) on his great white horse with wings, the breasts of a woman and the tail of a peacock. The word ‘al Aksa’ (as the ’furthest place’) referred either to Medina or the courtyards of Allah in Paradise. This was the rationale offered by true Arab scholars in attempting to explain the basis of a mythical dream supposedly experienced by Mohammed.

In 685-705 CE the Umayyad Caliph Abd-el Malik built the Dome of the Rock, also on the Temple Mount, Mount Moriah. (It is now called the "Golden Dome" after it was covered with gold by the King of Trans-Jordan.) This Caliph, who lived in Damascus, wished to be viewed as Mohammed’s heir. He attempted to re-direct the Islamic compass away from Mecca towards Jerusalem and his sphere of religious/political power. The political thrust of all this was that Islam continued to ignore Jerusalem as a non-entity and continued to worship toward Mecca. However, the myth was created among the (uneducated) Muslim/Arabs, that, by right of conquest, they owned the Temple of the Jews which existed as Solomon’s Temple of the Jews for thousands of years before Mohammed and Islam. However, the myth took root among the Muslims - as history was pushed aside...read more
