Explain to the Muslims that if they attack us with smallpox (or any biological agent), then Mecca will cease to exist.

We're not gonna do that and you know it. What exactly is the point of this bluster?

You're probably right about us "not going to do that".

The "point of this bluster" is to suggest that such a policy of retaliating against Mecca is probably a good deterrant, given the value the Muslims place on it.

It's obvious that the terrorists aren't rational, and can't be reasoned with. There is a word for that: barbarians. Barbarians, do however, understand fear, and the US should exploit the weirdness of their desert-demon religion to scare the hell out of them.

We may not ... but the Israelis certainly will.

Muslims are also not the primary threat to us. Our compromised, globalist and Chinese-influenced, government is.
