I took Latin for 5 years. Good rework of a quote from Cato "Carthago delenda est" < hard "th" like Car-TA-go. Carthage must be destroyed. One hell of a word before the Roman Senate (SPQR, Senatus Populus Que Romanus). Firebrand Cato makes our starched politicians look like fat- free soy twinkies.
Look at what happened to miserable Carthage, Rome finsished the Punic wars with vengeful finality. Salted the ground, sewed captives in hollowed out dead maggot-infested donkeys to bake in the hot sun, etcetera. Talk about revenge. Carthage got the works and then some.

"When the swords flash let no idea of love, piety, or even the face of your fathers move you." -Caesar
I digressed. I couldn't help but notice the classical allusion.
Yes, the terrorturds have to go the way of Carthage. We need a modern day Cato.
I like, "Riyadh delenda est!" myself.
Kinda like the way it just rolls off the tongue, you know?
"I took Latin for 5 years."
I had 8 years of Latin and 2 years of Classical Greek, back in the 60s, and can't remember most of it. I did enjoy it, though.
