It would be impossible to obliterate Isreal in a nuclear attack without inflicting serious, direct collateral damage to some of the holiest sites in Islam. But we've only begun to address the results of nuclear detonations.

Since when has inflicting damage on a shrine or other Muslim 'Holy Site' ever been a consideration within Islam? Seems to me that they utilize Mosques for aid stations and sniper postions as well as for storing weapons caches.

They only really get outraged when a non-Muslim inflicts damage or disrespects a Muslim Holy Site.

I hope that the Palestinians realize that, just as the other Arab states are willing to fight to the last Palestinian, that Iran would not hesitate to create massive casualties among their population in any attack on Israel.

Remember how antsy some of them got when Tancredo suggested (as a deterrent) destroying their shrines at Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem?

There are ‘holy’ Islamic sites, and then there are the big three.
