#1 Translation: Are you kidding? if we so much as seriously point a weapon at those Jews, they will hunt us down to the last curly toed slipper! The Saudis are a lot safer and easier to attack.

Look at the leadership of Hezbollah- those poor B@$!@#%$ have to live underground like moles. at least the americans give us some opportunities to get some air before they send the drones after us!

#4 the precedence of killing heretics and apostates before lifetime infidels is pretty clearly established in Islam

the only problem is that the definition of heretic and apostate is changeable --

on this subject, it seems to me that for ISIS, the Shia must be considered worse heretics than the saudis by far

But Mecca and Medina are the ultimate possession, lord garth. Nonetheless, conquering Saudi Arabia would not be as easy as conquering Iraq, it seems to me. And even conquering Iraq turned out not to be the doddle it first appeared.

#6 If they fought Israel they wouldn't be mainly intimidating women and children? It does seem that the arab/islam infested can only really manage that "feat".

#9 "ending Saudi control of Mecca and Medina takes precedence"

Ummm - Israel could do that for you (as could we, the Brits, the Phrench, etc.). I'm sure any of us could spare a couple of nukes to help y'all out there.

Why not just ask?

#10 As far as the Koran is concerned Jerusalem always was a side-show. They just made a big thing out of it to concentrate the natural hate of everything that boils in the Arab mind towards a target that wasn't the leader of an Arab country.

#11 "Not the Muslim's primary cause" > no surprise here, iff the Paleo cause e-v-a-r! was.
