"I thought nuclear weapons on the islamic world were the answer that night on 9/11."

Yes, we should use them on the one thing the terrorists really care about, Mecca and Medina. Start with Mecca.

If Mecca is turned into black, radioactive glass, then they lose their holy black meteor and they can no longer make the hajj, a key part of their cult.

And suddenly they become reasonable and embrace Western values ?

I wonder if what is need there is not a schism. Islam is no more monolithic than Christianity, and there are enough differences between Shiits and Sunnites and Druzes and Sufi and other variants to manoeuver.

Let's kill two birds with one stone. Drop the nuke on Mecca during the hajj! Hope there would be enough virginians (er, virgins) waiting for the pilgrims!
