“During WWII we did not nuke Tokyo “

We used conventional incendiaries and HE gravity bombs in March 1945. We vaporized the center of Tokyo- 17 square miles turned to ash and rubble- and killed over 100,000 civilians. Estimates are still hazy- I read numbers between 80,000 and 200,000. More people were killed by LeMays’ firestorm than at Hiroshima.

Oh yeah we spared Tokyo!

Oh yeah we spared Tokyo!

I understand the point, however that took thousands of raids, instead of a single ordinance of a completely different caliber.

You seem to be ignorant of the fact that to be a true muslim you must visit Mecca at least once during your lifetime. No Mecca, no more islam, period.

As to the suggestion that this parallels Christianities survival: not true in any way. Christ SPECIFICALLY states that there is no such thing as a central church. That any church/site is irrelevant to the religion. Islam SPECIFICALLY states that Mecca MUST BE VISITED. THIS SITE’S EXISTANCE IS INTEGRAL TO THE RELIGION ITSELF.

But please, stick your head back into the sand and keep believing islam is not the cause and solution of this war. Better to live in blissful ignorance than come to terms with the fact that we are using our military as a mercenary army to support the spread of islam, to support the creation of islamic democracies (can you say oxymoron) in the middle east.

The sooner we free the 4 billion adherents of islam from their religious slavery, the better. Like these people are not already trained to hate us from birth to death anyway.
