I still don't see (when people mention this option) what kind of deterrence that has. Most of the people in those places you mentioned have no ideas what is going on.Without Mecca, Islam is over... no more black rock idol to pray to every day... proving to them and the whole world that their false pagan god is not omnipotent...

You said -- "Without Mecca, Islam is over... no more black rock idol to pray to every day... proving to them and the whole world that their false pagan god is not omnipotent..."
You probably didn't see my previous comments on this subject. To start off, I would agree that to destroy their black stone symbol (of such importance) would be extremely significant to the Islamics and it would destroy their faith in their false god -- Allah.
But, what I was answering back on -- in reference to deterrence was that to threaten to wipe out the entire city or region with nukes is not going to result in deterrence. In fact, I would argue strongly against doing that with nukes.
I've always said that Islam needs to be destroyed, as it's an evil and false religion that is leading the entire world to war. It's being done on their side, not ours. We're responding to attacks. We'll continue responding to attacks forever, as long as we leave that false and evil religion in place. What we need to do is destroy it all -- all the mosques, kill all the clerics who teach this kind of evil religion and teach their people to attack others for their religion, and destroy all the important and significant holy places. Grind them all to dust and blow them away. That's not nuking entire regions. That's destroying that evil religion. That's what we need to do.
Then, yes..., the people will see, after a short while, that they've been lied to and misled by their evil clerics. They will see that their so-called "god" -- Allah -- is false and is of no consequence. In fact, we probably need to laugh at the destruction of their evil religion -- in the same way that Elijah laughed at the false prophets of Baal -- and then had them all killed when they couldn't "summon" their so-called "god". Do the same to Islam, as Elijah did to the prophets of Baal.
Now..., as to proving to the whole world that their false pagan god is not omnipotent -- I don't know if that's going to make too much of a difference. The real difference for most of the world is going to be destroying the *basis* for the terrorism -- in that name of that evil religion. That's going to be of significance to most of the world.
I would think that most of the world doesn't really care that those crazy Islamics believe in a false god. They only care that they're carrying out crazy acts of terrorism against the rest of the world. That has to stop.
As for a small group of Christians (in the world) who do know that the true God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob -- then it might make a difference -- but not to the rest of the world. They'll just appreciate getting rid of the *basis* for terrorism in the name of that evil religion of Islam.
