How do you know the Arabs in the Middle East were happy after the 9/11 bombing? There are an awful lot of them and their societies generally frown on opinion surveys, so we know no one asked them.

Then there's the issue of Moslems elsewhere. Africa is full of them. Southeast Asia is full of them. In fact, the world's largest Moslem country is there. The Turks are Moslem.

Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of the Arabs and not offend the religious sensibilities of all those other folks? Hmmmmm!?!?

The enemy in this case is a gang of Islamisists, not Islam, or people who are Moslem. Our other Moslem enemy is a secularist - Saddam Hussein.

It is tiring trying to get folks who have no trouble differentiating between Baptists and Democrats to apply the same subtle distinctions to folks in the Middle East and the Moslem world.

You can differentiate between Baptists and Democrats, right?

I don't see how dumping planeloads of phosphorescent sea creatures on Islamic capitals will help the situation.

If we nuke Mecca there is nothing left for islam.

I wonder whether nuking Mecca would harm Islam or add 1.1 billion to the ranks fanatics.

The temple in Jerusalem has been destroyed a few times in the last 5000 years, but the Jews are still around. If the Vatican were nuked, would it end Catholicism?

I've noticed this too. With the exception of a few others (the Persian Ayatollah and a few heavyweight Pashtuns) it is almost exclusively Arabs causing the problem. Not Turks, not Hashemites, not Beoduins(sp?), but the Arab majorities in S.A., Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq, and the Arab minorities who stir up trouble in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, the U.K., France, here in the U.S....

Good points, but the "nuke Mecca" crowd doesn't care. They keep making the same posts every day for nine months now.

They keep making the same posts every day for nine months now

That's because they're trying to show theirs is the more "peaceful religion."

[Dog Gone]

LOL!

I read on lucianne.com that the wives of two of the Saudi men have also been arrested for being part of the plot.

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

So am I. I'm shocked that Reuters actually used the word "terrorist" in one of its articles.

I have just hear the Security Chief of the Cebta (Spanish enclave in Morocco) taking on Radio Nacional de España. He was forced by the anchor (the guy did not want to criticize his neighbors) to acknowledge that he did not buy the story. That he thought it was full of wind

Morocco, a country that -it is true- works against Islamism, wants the USA to notice that it is important. And that there are two Spanish cities in front of Gibraltar
