They won’t attack Mecca shrines — they are only after Shia sites.

Ha, ha, yes! I would shell out some dough to watch this on pay-per-view. Bring on the popcorn! And don’t forget the pork rinds.

Israel must have at least two nukes aimed at Mecca.

Yeah. Sure. Mecca is in Saudi Arabia. Those ISIS dudes are friendlier with their Sunni peers in Saudi than with their enemies in Iran and Syria. Maybe Signor Chiaramonte is confusing Mecca with Rome or something.

From all of this blood—may come a realization that this destruction and murder isn’t what Allah or Monhammed wanted.

Destruction and murder are exactly what Allah(Satan) and Mohammed are all about.

Will the saudi’s stop funding terrorism long enough to stop ISIS? They make good money on the tourist trade to Mecca....

I thought the day would come when we would have to nuke Mecca. Maybe not.

the world needs a modern day Genghis Khan , with respect for GK’s approach towards Islam . Of all who have ever lived GK came the closest to forever whipping islam off the face of planet earth ( as I understand history ) We need a new GK whom will not fail a second time.

Careful what you wish for. LOL!

Forgive me for being uninformed on this issue, but why did they destroy the resting place of Jonah? Wasn’t he believed to be a prophet in Islam as well?

Yes, the Muslims claim all the Old Testament prophets (and St. John the Baptist and Jesus) were "prophets of Islam". However, the hard-end Sunni position is that the veneration of places or relics associated with prophets is worship, and thus idolatry, since worship is due to Allah alone. Not all Sunnis take this position (many Sunnis make pilgrimages to the various sites associated with prophets and the Virgin Mary) but the position is within the bounds of normal Sunni Islam.

Shi'ites, in contrast, have always had a vibrant analogue of the Christian cult of the saints, and erect many shrines to their "prophets" and notable imams.

The contrast also extends to art. It is only the Sunnis who insist on absolute aniconism. Shi'ites publish illustrated biographies of Mohammed in which the "prophet' is depicted.

The Hajj itself is the only real exception universally accepted among Sunnis, and it seems that that universal acceptance isn't so universal any more. "Caliph Ibrahim" may well be taking the hard-end Sunni position to its logical conclusion. The Muslims have a prophecy that in the end-times the Hajj will become impossible. I'd always rather fancied that would be because finally the West had enough and nuked Mecca. It could turn out to be instead because the internal logic of Sunni Islam finally destroys the principal object of material veneration among Muslims -- the Kaaba.

ISIS is so crazy that even Al Qaeda and its affiliates are staying away from it, and their groups have engaged ISIS in battle in Syria and Iraq.

I understand the Mosque demolitions, if they are Shi’ite or non-conforming Sunni mosques, but the mausoleum of Jonah I would think transcends sectarianism. It’s just a prophet’s grave.

You would think the ka'ba would be too. At this point I think it's just a bunch of kill-crazy Sunni fanatics out to butcher anyone who deviates in the slightest way from their theocratic beliefs.
