#1 Islam is truly a lower lifeform.

#2 The Grand Mosque and the holy city are forbidden to non-Muslims,

Here is a hint, God owns all the property. Who are you?

#3 For the longest time I have advocated reserving the shrines as targets of reprisal or perhaps holding them as physical hostages in the GWoT. As Islam continues to shit on everything in sight I'm becoming more inclined to have one of the shrines blown sky high as a demonstration of just how badly misguided Muslims are in their belief that Allah will protect them from all harm. It's time to strike a major demoralizing blow straight in Islam's heart and cast our enemy into permanent confusion. The time may not be right, just yet. But it certainly seems to be approaching.

#4 I've long thought about it like this: We parachute REALLY B I G! H-BOMBS into Mecca, Medina, Riaydh, Islamabad and Cairo, and, as they are landing, have our diplomats explain to the respective peoples of the middle east countries involved, "It works like this: On an irregular schedule, OUR PEOPLE come in and maintenance the bombs. If they can't get to the bombs to maintain them, they go off. If any unauthorized person gets near them, they go off. If any jihadi jacksh*t anywhere in the world belches out loud, ALL THE BOMBS go off. No hajj for 29 thousand years. Capice?"

#5 MM, your's is the "physical hostage" scenario I posted here quite a while ago. I would take the shrines and then allow the haj to occur only when there have been 13 calendar months without any major terrorist activity. One screw-up and "sorry, boys, no haj this year."

Somehow, we have to reach out and touch over a billion Muslims. One of the only Islamic rituals that encompasses even a fraction of that number is the haj. People save up their entire lives for it and if jihadists are seen as botching that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, then maybe some Muslims will begin to turn upon the jihadis.

Short of massive civilian deaths, there exist few other levers with which to apply force against a significant portion of this world's Muslim population. We had best begin to identify which ones there are and put them into use or else the prior option will come into play by default.
