Hard to keep the faithful in line when it requires bowing to a plate of radioactive glass.

Would the Jews pack it in if Jerusalem was nuked? Would Catholics give up is the Vatican was destroyed? Or would either act motivate the people to strike back?

Nuking Mecca would wipe out 2 of the 5 pillars of Islam - the Salat (daily prayers to Mecca) and the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca).

There is no Christian or Jewish equivalent for Vatican City or Jerusalem.

This would put a serious dent in a third pillar - the Shahadah. Hard to claim no other God except Allah when the infidels have wiped Mecca from the face of the earth.
