I just don't get this logic you guys are using. If we destroy Mecca then Islam would cease to exist? All the Muslims would just stop believing? That's just ludicrous sounding to me. What if Israel was nuked and turned into a giant sheet of glass? Would Christians and Jews all give up the faith? I don't think so. Those involved in destroying Israel would face serious repercussions and the country would be cleaned up and rebuilt, along with the holy cities. Muslims wouldn't just all turn their backs on their faith either if Mecca was destroyed. They'd raise lots of hell and before long they'd rebuild and make do. Nothing would really change in the long run.

Actually something similar to this happened during Tamerlane's comquest of the Middle East. After defeating Bayezid and incidentally using him as a footrest, Tamerlane turned the main mosque in Damascus into a stable, called all the imams in and lectured them about why Allah was not on their side or this wouldn't have happened. BTW, Tamerlane was a muslim but apparently he was a Mongol first.

Hey, me too. Not to them. Islam has the 5 pillars. If you don't do all 5 you go to hell (thousand cockroaches eating your stomach, the works). Make one impossible and yes, the entire faith goes down the proverbial tubes.
