Crush the oppressor. Free the slaves.

Your analogy is a poor one.

It seems to me that bombing the Kaaba per se is distinguishable from bombing a million hajiis, and worth talking about

It's worth doing.

They seem to be gibberish.

They are gibberish.

And overall, it has no moral, thematic or narrative unity.

Its moral unity is that mohamet wants you dead.

My friend, as long as the American people and any administration are concerned with what the rest of the world thinks of us, as a country and a people, we will never again release the full might, of the US military, against any foe.

Personally, I say we should do whatever we need to do to ensure our own safety and freedom.

Unfortunately, it will never happen.

Your analogy [Crush the oppressor. Free the slaves.]is a poor one.

No analogy is perfect, but this one is good as far as it goes. As I said, even in the dar-al-islam, the farmer farms, the mother mothers. And the just man, as Hopkins says, justices. You can and must distinguish between the Muslim who can be an ally, and the Muslim who cannot. Maybe the first is, in the eyes of other Muslims, a heretic. OK then: free the heretics.

"bombing the Kaaba is... worth doing."

We may live to see.
