No.
sure, i would probable threaten the same thing...however, carrying it out would be unrealistic.
LOL... This would certainly smack the Koranimals delusional belief system out from under them.
;o)
Your statement is true respective to the medieval persecution of Jews by the nations of Western Europe, which often was supported or at least condoned by church leaders. However, the 20th Century persecution of Jews was conducted by the Nazis, whose leadership was neo-pagan and occultist, and opposed to traditional Christianity. Numerous Christian clergy and active lay people were persecuted or executed under Hitler's regime, for example, Corrie ten Boom and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, not to mention thousands of Polish Catholic priests and nuns.
An astute observation, which is borne out by the fact that one of the most frequently claimed grievance made by Muslims against whoever for whatever is that they have been "humiliated", and by their long historical record of rabid intolerance of the buildings, symbols, etc. of other religions in territory they control. No other major religion comes close to Islam in its efforts to actually destroy the symbols of other faiths, whether by destroying priceless Buddhist art or by leveling churches and synagogues and building mosques on top of them (to demonstrate their superiority).
Are you sure? Do you think if someone manage to nuke Washington the US would cease to exist?
I think rather the opposite.
I am sure that if Mecca got attacked, even the moderate muslims (as the 90 percent of them are) would turn against the attacker.
Think of Pakistan with their nukes... You really want to count them as enemies? Musharraf already facing an assasination attempt per month for being friendly to the US...
Or think of the saudis... they are already on the brink of a civil war for their oppressing regime...
Then after nuking Mecca... where the oil would come from?
Here's what drives the Paleostinians Muslims nuts. Many of the West Bank settlements are built on hills. The Arabs are in the valleys where there is more precipitation, dew and moisture for crops and forage. The Jews on the hills sink deep wells to survive.
The fact that Jews look down on them makes them go crazy. Jews are always supposed to be below Muslims in all ways. In Jerusalem the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa mosque look down on the Jews praying at the Western (Wailing) Wall. This suits the Muzzies just fine, so fine they rain rocks down on the praying Jews every few years.
Just the title of this thread makes me smile... :)
Excellent response.
Say that Osama sent some of his henchmen to set off a suitcase or a dirty bomb and a million or so die...What do you think the American's would call for to retaliate?
Frankly, I don't think it would take a small measure of that many lives for America to want to resort to such actions.
Was attempting humor there. That's what the following Hmmmmm was for.
Make that 50. And not just Americans.
If you vaporize Mecca, wouldn't that pretty much say that Islam is ~misguided!?~
I support the utter destruction of Mecca as the retaliation for an Islamic terrorist WMD attack against the United States.
I think that nuking Mecca SHOULD be an option, but I doubt that it is considered as such by this or any administration. The Muslims can blow up Buddahs and churches, but we try to avoid damaging their mosques.
You're only 1400 years too late. While you're catching up, can you identify one of these alleged "moderate Muslims" for us?
You mean there are muslims left in the world to alienate?
