Indonesia is nukeless, so they couldn't retaliate. Pakistan has nukes, but A) they'd all be destroyed in our initial attack, and B) they only have medium-range missiles (whose range is not intercontinental) even if some of them survived. China would probably be somewhat affected by the fallout (although much of it would be dissipated by the time it reached their major population centers), but they wouldn't retaliate against us for two reasons: 1) they'd be just as happy to see the Muslim world destroyed as we would be, and 2) if they shot off ICBMs at us they'd be wiped clean off the face of the earth, and they're smart enough to know it know it. Unlike the (majority of the) Muslim world, China isn't in the suicide business.
or how the fallout would not affect the rest of us.
I already did so in my last post.

Ah, finally you bring up a decent point. Considering the west to east wind patterns, Israel would most likely be in the fallout zone if we detonated a huge # of nukes in (Muslim) North Africa. But, aside from Egypt, the annihilation of sparsely populated No. Africa would require very nukes. ......not enough to seriously threaten Israel with fallout. We'd have to be careful with Egypt, though. ....it's a little too close (to Israel) for comfort (although the fallout from there would more likely affect their neighbors to the immediate east on the Arabian Peninsula, who would obviously be destroyed anyway). So Israel would be fine if we're careful.
Understand that the nuclear fallout from 200 - 300 nukes directed at the Muslim world is nothing compared to the horror stories we all heard during the Cold War about what would happen if the U.S. and Soviet Union got into an all-out nuclear exhange. We could all survive the former without much of a problem, where the latter (invovling literally thousands of times more ordnance) would likely create the "nuclear winter" conditions Carl Sagan and Co. all warned us about a few decades ago.
....So don't worry yourself ;)
Oh btw, just in case you're wondering, I'm not advocating this course of action against the Muslim world. ......yet, anyway.
