Why nuke Mecca? If you really wanted to make a point you would nuke "around" Mecca, leaving it intact as an historic site of some note, but prohibiting Moslems from making their pilgrimage to the place.

The pilgramage to Mecca is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims take it seriously, and in a very literal sense.

Nuking Mecca would in effect undermine one the the principal foundations of Islam, and force the the Islamic world to realize that they cannot take their faith in a fundamental or literal sense.

In any event, to quote a line from the Godfather, Part II: "We should hit them now, while we got the muscle!"

no. what you do is announce *now* that the next loud noise heard in the u.s. will result in the nuking of mecca and medina and riyadh and damascus and teheran and tripoli.

Nuke Around Mecca! Very good idea.

After each terror attack we make one approach side radio active!

Muslims are historically and culturally retarded so it will take them three sides before they figure the deterrent out.

Yep. I like it. Far better than letting them sell pieces of glass like they were splinters of the true cross.

"Muslims" allegedly worship @ a Large, Black, Meteoric Rock in Mecca.

The "Rock" supposedly represents some sort of "Heavenly Presence" to them.

There is NO "Judeo-Christian Equivalent" to this "Holy Stone!"

Many of Us who consider "Islam itself" as a Mortal Threat to Western Civilization, suspect that this "Holy Stone" represents a FAR MORE IMPORTANT SYMBOL in "Islam" than previously reported.

If Jerusalem, Rome, Constantinople, or Bethlehem were to Disappear,--would Judaism or Christianity also disappear??

If the "Stone" in Mecca suddenly Disappeared--would "Islam" survive??

Can "Islam" survive the Loss of It's Symbol??.

One Wonders.

Can't we just spray lard all over it?
