Memo to His Most Excellency, Governor Pontius Pilate
Re: The Christian cult problemThat core symbol is in Jesus Christ. Destroy that symbol and you destroy the religion of Christianity forever. It will totally disintegrate. That's the bottom line.

Uhh, and there are how many that we haven't already alienated by daring to defend ourselves against the swine?
Why is it so many people are afraid to admit that Muslims at best are INCREDIBLY racist? And at their worst, INCREDIBLY bloodthirsty? If Christian or Jewish leaders preached 1/10 of the malicious horrific lies and calls to violence preached in the mosques,they'd be strung up for hate crimes. Such double standards will end in the destruction of our way of life.
And the West would never do it, but I do not put it past some future Indian regime.
As it always does when the truth hurts..
"fully armed and OPERATIONAL missile defense system."
Now where have I heard a similar line in a sci-fi flick?? Something about a death star, perhaps? Hmmm...
I like it if it true, but maybe we can win the stalemate by upping the stakes: OBL, turn yourself and your officers in by noon tomorrow or we'll nuke Mecca. What's it gonna be, call or fold?
I get the same info from two cousins in the Marines: one (in Iraq) and his brother (in Thailand). According to the latter Thailand is crawling with anti-American hatred and islamic thugs. We are starting to wonder who is in the greater danger.
Because the Koreans can fight back.
You said.."Secularists have a tendency to underestimate the faith of others."
By George I think you've got it!
Could it be that the US does see things differently because we are still a mostly Christian nation governed by our creator and Europe is not?
We and the Euros are looking through two different sets of glasses on most issues because of this.
If you are a Europeon or a US secularist, try to imagine for one moment why the US might have gone into Iraq for moral reasons and why most of Europe cannot understand this.
Hint: There is a religious war going on perpetrated by Muslim extremists trying to take over every country and convert everyone to Islam by force. People of real faith understand fully what commitment to that faith means. Those that have fallen away do not.
Does Europe even care if it becomes Muslim? The US still does or at least the majority don't want a religion forced upon them.
For those of us on earth that still believe we have been given inalienable rights from God that no man or government can take away....fighting for moral values is part of defending the interests of our nation.
i like the israeli strike on the aswan dam! and 20 feet of water over inhabited egypt.
when do we start?
The other point is; if Allah does favor Muslims to the degree that they believe their religon to be supreme, nuking Mecca, would obviously discredit Mohammed's religion. Allah wouldn't have allowed it otherwise.
Of course he wouldn't have alowed two Islamic countries to fall to, so-called, infidels either. Religion, the opiate of the masses. Still an addiction after millennia.
The world's muslims are already alienated, so nuking Mecca can't possibly make things worse.

I would argue you are applying an invalid precedent.
I'm thinking of Arabs who would suddenly be totally lost. There has never been such a loss to Christians. Jerusalem has always been there.
As long as the Saudis have oil, and as long as we _need_ it, we will _have_ it.
Are you old enough to remember the _first_ Arab oil embargo, in 1973? I remember it well. The United States will _never_ allow such an embargo again.
If there was an attack on the United States sufficient to warrant the use of a nuclear weapon against Mecca, we would certainly be at war with the Saudis. And just how long does one think a war between the United States and Saudi Arabia - a society where nearly _everything_ is contracted out to foreigners - would last? I'd say about 3 days longer than a war between the U.S. and Mexico (hearty laugh).
Saudi Arabia is one of the most totalitarian - and most dangerous - nations on earth, a cancer upon humanity. We tolerate them in exchange for the economic lifeblood that lies beneath their miserable sands. I find American patronizing of Saudis - ESPECIALLY by Republicans and the administration - to be vile. Perhaps the greatest strike for world freedom and the defeat of Islam would be the overthrow of the House of Saud, to be replaced by, well, anything.
Cheers!

The lovely thing is that mere talk of such a strategy is enough to do the job. It doesn't have to be official US policy.
I hope it's true.
Dad says it's not the Christian way to retaliate. I think he has a bit of a lopsided view of that.
I can imagine that Bush is part of God's way of dealing with Bin Laden.
We shall see. I just hope we have the courage to follow through if needed. I'd hate to see it. But that is the only language that mentality understands.
Of course, we'd likely have some 1 billion angry Muslims to deal with afterwards. But I suspect we'd also have a LOT more of their respect.
AND, IT MIGHT JUST BE THAT THEY'D START TO QUESTION THEIR DEMONIC MOON GOD WHO WASN'T ABLE TO PROTECT MECCA.
I could imgine God really liking that aspect a lot.
I am basically against killing innocents in that city, however, the radical Muslims all over the world only understand and worship brute force. It would send an absolutely clear message to those of radical Islam.
Use a dirty nuke or train a very highly paid multi-ethnic covert assassination battalion to hunt and eliminate the radical leaders (bast*%ds) worldwide. The sooner peace lovin' Americans (and that's most of us) accept the reality of the way to maintain a reasonable level of peace, the sooner it will get done. Just never let the US government officially acknowledge it sponsored any such move.....Do not ever think that for one moment that Muslims intolerant of Christians, Jews, the West, and anyone not of their particular faith would not hesitate to do the same. If those in charge or our government to make such a decision do not believe personally the teachings of the New Testament, well, there's nothing to hold them back with such a move.
Ever seen in person where a powerful bolt of lightning has struck sand? It leaves a spot of greenish-black low grade glass......
