"[Within minutes of taking the Oath of Office, I would end Islam forever. It cannot exist without Mecca.]"
Yep, just what the Romans said about Judaism when they destroyed Solomon's Temple in 66 A.D. or thereabouts.
How simple-minded of you! The issue with Islam is not the religion, per se (which is foul enough), but the political use to which it's been put and the underlying culture in which it festers. Until those conditions change (political freedom comes to the Middle East, and the people somehow free themselves of their midieval mindset), Islam will continue to be nothing more than a prop for the politically adroit and socially dangerous.
Go ahead and wipe Mecca off the map, Mr. President. Makes no difference (although it certainly would be satisfying).
P.S. - as for giving any "credibility to Giuliani", I never intended to do so. My post was simply to present you with the facts with regards to your ridiculous remarks about Patton.
As far as Rudy is concerned: as a native New Yorker, who walked away from 1 WTC on 9/11, I'd say there was never a better leader in the history of New York City (surpassing even the sainted LaGuardia, in my opinion). It';s a shame that the Puritan wing of the republican party (which hasn't had a thought that did not originate somewhere in scripture since about 1640 or so), would throw their usual hissy fit and not consider him for as much as dog catcher within the party hierarchy.
I think this is a mistake, that perfectly good and qualified individuals are ignored (and vilified!) simply because they cannot pass an incredibly high-level smell test (mostly applied by hypocrites, but that's another matter altogether), to the detriment of the party.
In this day and age, should George Washington himself rise from the grave and announce his candidacy, it's very difficult to see him winning a nomination in this party, let alone a general election.
The Jews do not worship a black idol in the middle of a desert. Islam cannot exist without it.
And, for that matter, the Islamics want to do far worse than the Romans did to the Jews and everyone else.

The issue with Islam is not the religion...
“Islam” is the idea of the world under a dominant Moslem state.
