You seriously think every Muslim would convert to Presbyterianism if Mecca was destroyed?
Destroying the Temple didn't exactly destroy Judaism.
Anyway, the whole original article is a sourcless masturbatory fantasy, so not like it matters.
Hajj is one of the five pillars, not Mecca.
No Mecca, no Islam.
No Mecca, no Hajj, no Islam. No moon gawd Kabba rock to prostrate in the direction of.
Are you sure? Do you think if someone manage to nuke Washington the US would cease to exist?
I think rather the opposite.
I am sure that if Mecca got attacked, even the moderate muslims (as the 90 percent of them are) would turn against the attacker.
Think of Pakistan with their nukes... You really want to count them as enemies? Musharraf already facing an assasination attempt per month for being friendly to the US...
Or think of the saudis... they are already on the brink of a civil war for their oppressing regime...
Then after nuking Mecca... where the oil would come from?
Don't need to nuke Mecca. A 2,000 lb cruise would do the job. Another on Medina and a 500lb on Jerusalem. Remove the 3 holiest sites and destroy the basis for their faith!
I'm all for it!
Note: A nuke just reduces the number of American haters. That is not a bad solution, but without their basis for faith, they most likely will do what they do best --- Kill one another!
