I don't buy the whole "holy place" argument. If I was a commanding officer, and my men were being fired on from anywhere, I would order that place destroyed, and I don't care if it's the Pope's balcony in Vatican City.
"I don't care if it's the Pope's balcony in Vatican City."
About the only thing you would get hit with from that balcony is a big wad of phlegm.
FROM THAT STATISTIC ALONE, we can ASSUME THAT a "Mosque" in IRAQ is an "Enemy Combatant!!
AT LEAST, ANY "MOSQUE" should be Searched--&--at the SLIGHTEST Provocation, any Threat from ANY "Mosque" should result in the INSTANT ANNIHILATION of that Site!!
CLEARLY, the "Followers of Islam" have NO Compunction about using,-- what would be Sacred Ground in Western Religions,-- a Muslim "Holy Site" to Murder "Others!"
ISLAM is UTTERLY AMORAL in it's "Dealings With" other Cultures!
In MANY WAYS, "ISLAM" is MUCH LIKE the "NAZI'S!!"
& the DANGER TO "Free Societies" is Similar!!.
"Radical Islam" is a "Mind-Control-Entity" not unlike Other "Suicide Cults," (Like "Bushido" in WW11 Japan) & it's DEFEAT requires the UTTER DESTRUCTION of it's "Priests!!"
Such a "Defeat" required TWO Nuclear Bombs in 1946~ I FEAR we MAY NEED to resort to Similar Force to--once-&-for=ALL ELIMINATE the "ISLAMO-KAMIKAZE'S" in our Modern Times.
SO BE IT!!
