I wonder why everyone is aghast about a discussion to destroy Mecca? You aren't seriously wondering this, are you? If you want to understand why everyone is aghast, just assume that along with Mecca the 2nd nuke misfires and lands on the Vatican. That sort of might help you understand, although Mecca is probably more important to Muslims than the Vatican to Christianity (if such a thing can even be measured).

You know, it's pretty funny. None of these posters were all up in arms when an ancient statue of Buddha was destroyed in Afghanistan. I wonder why everyone is aghast about a discussion to destroy Mecca? Let's practice the golden rule. Do unto Muslims as they do unto you. You weren't even on this thread when they tore down the Buddha statue. Had you been you would have known that a number of us were upset. Just because we don't want to annihilate Muslims or practice genocide does not make us Muslim lovers. But you don't care............its either hate them like you do or leave. Isn't that right, MM? Love it or leave it! Its the 1960s all over again.

>> Not a bad idea. Problem is you destroy Christian sites too. << Christians have been given sufficient warning: And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. (Luke 21:20-22) >> Let's practice the golden rule. Do unto Muslims as they do unto you. << let the glorious light of Jesus Christ enlighten you: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:43-44)
