A stopped clock is right twice a day, and Tom Tancredo is one such nonfunctioning timepiece. Wrong on nearly everything that matters, he is nonetheless right that a nuclear strike by Muslim terrorists on the United States should be responded to with a nuclear strike on Mecca. If I may extend Tancredo’s logic beyond what he himself may be capable of, the Plain of Arafat, the Plain of Mina, and the Masjid al haram should be irradiated such that human visitation becomes impossible for thousands of years. the Kaaba and other religious sites such as Mecca, Medina,

I ask Nykrindc this: Was the invasion of Afghanistan likewise wrong, as it destroyed something operationally most valuable to our opponents (a state supported base)?
The answer is no: besides being a clear case of proportional response, the Afghan invasion also made the conditions of 9/11 much harder to replicate. The Roman response to the Jewish War the destruction of the Temple did the same. Rome destroyed the conditions that allowed a faith based on priestly worship to exist. "Jews" as a community continued,

In the same way, an obliteration of Mecca that leaves the city radioactive topples one of the five pillars of Islam.
People say that Islam needs a reformation. Reformed variants of Judaism thrived twice, both in response to a grand shock (the Destruction of the Temple, leading to Christianity,

On the other hand, if you are happy with the Islamic status quo and remain so after a nuclear attack on the homeland there is nothing to change! No such outrage is necessary.
I think the style of MAD you propose has some merit. is attacked with nuclear weapons by radical Muslims,

Buy Real Mens Buy Viagra Online Outlet Store Waiting For You, we went after a country hosting the enemy who attacked us on 9/11.
The reason that I think Tancredo and you are wrong,
Authentic Buy Viagra Online Authentic Quality And Cheap Price Guarantee, is this: For Jihadists, the world is not only in a state of fitna,
Real 100% Buy Viagra Online Sale Here With High Quality, but along with its holiest sites it is under Western occupation. In addition, one of bin Laden’s most important functions in fighting the US, is to incite Muslims to jihad. This means that threatening to bomb Mecca (in Tancredo’s case) and nuking it (in your case) is that this is exactly what Jihadists want. We threaten to destroy Mecca, and they are more likely to attack us, because our response would be more likely to incite the millions of Muslims who have up until now refused to heed Osama’s call to jihad.
In my post,
Order Mens Buy Viagra Online Official Website Sale Discount, I also cited your post on how the wahhabis are destroying Mecca themselves due to their austere religious interpretation of Islam. Since Wahhabism is an influential component of Jihadism, the deterrent value of threatening to destroy Mecca is reduced as far as jihadists are concerned. The effect on moderate Muslims, however,

Now that said,
Where To Buy Viagra Online Outlet For You To Choose. Buy Now., when I wrote my post I didn’t realize that unlike Tancredo, you were calling for the US to use nuclear weapons on Mecca if the US was attacked using WMD. That’s a whole different ball game. However, it would raise similar pitfalls.
You state: +++an obliteration of Mecca that leaves the city radioactive topples one of the five pillars of Islam. +++
Would it really? I don’t think it would. If anything, it would give martyrdom a more profound religious meaning. That is,
Order Womens Buy Viagra Online 70% Off Free Shipping, one of the pillars of Islam is to make the Hajj at least once in a Muslims life. Once. That means that Muslims, particularly as they get older will still be able to make the Hajj (or part of it) and these would willingly walk into the irradiated section of land, giving their life to fulfill a pillar of Islam. For most Muslims, not only Jihadists, this would be seen as the ultimate proof of religious devotion, a very powerful symbol.
You cite the destruction of the temple of Israel, with regard to Rome and the Jewish insurrection. However,
Real Buy Viagra Online Clearance Sale 2014. Get 85% Discount, you fail to note two things. One, along with the destruction of the temple, Jews were forcibly removed from Palestine and spread throughout the empire. Additionally, the destruction of the temple,
Real Cheap Buy Viagra Online For Cheap But Real Womens, did not stamp out Judaism, instead it gave Jews a powerful memory and symbol of the plight of their people. If Jews had been left in Palestine, the destruction of the temple would not have had the same effect it did,
New Style Buy Viagra Online Where Can We Buy The, once they were forcibly removed from the promised land. We can’t know with certainty, but I suspect that not only would they have rebuilt the temple, but they would also have tried to rise up against the Roman empire once again. In short,
Cheap Buy Viagra Online Exactly Where Can Provide You Fantastic Cheap, it was the forced removable of the Jewish people from Palestine that was responsible for pushing Judaism to a reformation, not the destruction of the temple.
Irradiating Mecca, would be similar to the destruction of the temple, but only by providing a symbol around which all Muslims could rally around; Osama’s dream come true. He ‘description’ of Vatican City,
Online Buy Viagra Online You Can Enjoy The Cheap Price And Get Best Quality Items Here, if his analogy is meant to be taken seriously, is ludicrous. At least in the Christian,

Sorry I forgot to address the comment you left on my blog. With regard to Peters’ argument for an Islamic Vatican City, I think he picked that name, not because he wanted Mecca and Medina to be run in the manner in which Vatican City is run, but rather to bring to peoples minds the notion of the semi independent religious state that Vatican City is, independent of the Italian government. His point was,
Cheap Sale Buy Viagra Online You Can Find The Latest Style Of, in alluding to Vatican City, that an Islamic religious city encompassing Mecca and Medina, would be independent of the House of Saud. Additionally, he called for making it a place for the different sects of Islam to come together and discuss the future of the faith by once again employing the practice of Ijtihad.
I don’t think that Peters meant that in Vatican City all Christian sects have an equal say in running it, he just meant that like it, an Islamic Super Vatican would be independent from the House of Saud or any other Muslim government.
This is a completely different sense from the sort of destruction that would come from a nuclear blast.
