You said -- "These loons have as much chance of getting ahold of a Nuclear submarine as they do an A bomb."
I'm not so sure of that. I think there could be many ways.
Let's say that Pakistan loses its leader, and abandons its relationship with the U.S. and the mullahs over there take over the running of that country. And let's say that they decide to help al-Qaida get a bomb. They've got them already. It fooled us apparently, for a while. They've got them now.
Or, I also hear that there's some radical Islamic country who is willing to give away nuclear bombs to other Islamic countries, once they get theirs built.
As I see it, there are countless ways to get those bombs into terrorist hands. I didn't mention North Korea as a possibility. I've also heard (just rumors) that Saudi Arabia has some nuclear weapons. Whether that's true or not, I just don't know. But, it's possible.
If you've got the money, you can buy all the materials and details you need to get it done...

Space aliens could fly down and give them away too. And that is only slightly more far fetched than your worries.
We need to concern ourselves with the PRACTICAL problems we face not wild, paranoic pipe dreams.
BTW your take on Islam ignores the tremendous number of Islamics who are fighting and dying alongside our soldiers.
It would however make enemies of them ALL even when there is no need to do so.
Nor is such a simplistic approach likely to be successful since Islam has been around for almost 1400 years and always grew through the sword. Death is more attractive than Life for many of the truly lunatic. However the vast majority are not willing to die because some erzatz holy man says they should.
