#12  #11 I suppose you could ask the country you're posting from to do that, if you feel so strongly it's the right thing to do.

You're known Muslim sympathizer and apologist LOTP. So I don't take you seriously.

The country I am posting from is India, and they may well have to fry them up a mess of Pakis at some point. As for it being the right thing to do...I can't say.

I do think it will be a necessity, they'll leave us no choice. BTW, I'm an American from Fort Worth, I'm just in India for my annual 2 month visit.

#10  We may not need to nuke Mecca after all.

No, we need to nuke it, and Medina too. Send an unmistakable message and reassert ourselves as the strong horse.

#7  Spot is quite correct: these are Muslims enforcing the Koranic/Islamic no-Compete mandate.

#6  Bah. I'll believe they are against their "heritage" when they demolish the Kabaa.

#5  Ironic. They are wiping out thier heritage for fear of people worshiping at an "idol", but then the developers come in and erect hotels for the pilgrims - so they can visit in luxury, worshipping their wealth.

#4  Kind of like the modern media eh? If it doesn't fit the narrative - it gets buried.

#3  It's like the Kennewick Man. Bury/destroy the evidence that may repudiate the mythological record of events that don't fit the meme.

#2  I don't care about their heritage. My concerns are the threat they pose to my (genes) future.

#1  We may not need to nuke Mecca after all. Saudi wahabi taliban does an excellent job to erase any historical context of the RoP..
