I guess that this applies to Mecca too.

I wonder if any ZEALOT U.S. Fighter pilots have been tempted to take their armed aircraft and accidentally blast the Black Rock of Mecca.

I guess they should be careful what they tempt.

How can the grace of God ever get through to such “asses of men”?

Maybe Israel wouldn’t ever nuke the site, but God has some more old fashioned technology. We know it as lightning.

Well anyhow. If there’s something like Islam in the Revelation times, it’s unclear at best. There is a beheading reference, but it isn’t as though Mad Mo invented this from scratch or didn’t get it from someone else.

An optimistic look would be that they have finally become evangelized and have mixed into the surrounding countries. But the prophecy of warning remains upon them and these countries will become especially prone to warring. Maybe America might even be spared the worst; absences of references to it are not plausible because even if the government collapses, something is going to occupy that land. I’m wondering about a possibility of the reverse — a divine shield, behind which America would stay relatively uninvolved, isolationism finally becoming practical as everyone in the Old World jumps down everyone else’s throat there.

One can only hope... But not with this President.

Mecca
Medina
Tehran

After 911, this should have been the response. Five thousand more Americans would be alive today, and we wouldn't be discussing the middle east today.

I'm fed up with this never ending diplomacy crap that gets our guys killed.
