"Make one impossible and yes, the entire faith goes down the proverbial tubes."

If you nuke Mecca do you make one impossible. Already the religion gives a break to those who just cannot make it to Mecca. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of them putting on there radiation suits and going even if the place was still glowing. Muslim charities would pay the huge cost to clean up the nuclear material and in time they'd rebuild the mosques and go on as they always have.

Would have been better if I said: "If you nuke Mecca, do you make one pillar impossible?"

And where would the charities get their monies from? You forget, the economic engine of the world was destroyed in a brazen nuclear attack orchestrated by fellow Muslims on the USofA that their charities BTW supported. And most likely Mecca would not be the only target.
