Just imagine for a monent the Kaaba, Mekka and Medina get completely destroyed. Some people automatically fear that this would enrage sentiments around the globe amongst Muslims. I could imagine another reaction as well: that of total psychological paralysis, a time-out of encrusted superstitious belief: "The stone is gone, the cities are gone, and Allah did nothing to prevent or revenge it". this could lead many minds to ask the simple question: "How could this be?" And this could be a chance to brake into the self-powering cycle of self-feedback that always, always turns and thinks in cycles and never leads anywhere than just back to conclusions that the Quran is always right. It would be the chance of their lives for them to learn how to ask the question IF the Quran necessarily must right, and to start to examine history and origin of islam and muhammad'S real biography by using modern examination standards of reason and academical analysis. there is a reason why the West technically and scientifically and philosophically is so superior in developement compared to Muhammedan nations, who do not climb to these levels by their own effort, but by just buying and importing our knowledge without asking for the ways and methods by which we gained it. After all, everything in Islam always just leads back to Muhammad, and what Muhammad has said that Allah is, and what Muhammad has said that Allah expects of man, and what Muhammad said what should be done, and what Muhammad said about this situation in life, and that constellation in life, and another special event in life. all there is is the unchecked statements of just one single man whose life was dominated by fighting, robbery, bloodshed, intimidation, and war. So, after 1400 years it may need some substantial shock indeed to shake the long-held habit to believe that this single man, of highly questionable reputation and with blood-dripping biography, could ever have been selected by any deity to be it's messenger - if this deity really wanted to lecture about peace, tolerance, and reason (in the Western understanding of these terms which is totally different than Islam's understanding of these terms). And if this deity does not wish for peace, tolerance and reason, man better sent it to hell where it belongs.
And if you fear the hysteria of the masses in some countries - why is it that you do not fear a nuclear attack by an Islamic faction against a Western target first? Could it become any worse than this? Is the anger of Muslims so much more terrifying to you that you use it as the argument to prevent - forgive the archaic word - retaliation? What would you try to negotiate with somebody who wills to massurder your people and shatter your cities by use of nuclear weapons? Retaliation as a display of determination and strength and an effort to finally delete the problem by starting to kill it at it's roots - and mind you that strength always has been the only thing throughout history that ever was respected by Islam in that way that it was bringing it's advance to temporary halts? No dialogue and no mutual understanding ever acchieved that, it always was - superior force that was stronger than the forces of Islam. You can be as reasonbale yourself as you wish, if the other insists on archaic strnegth being the standard to decide difefrendces in opinions, you are lost. reason needs reason to communicate. Reason cannot communicate with or overcome violance. But violance can kill reason very well.
9/11 shook america to it's bones, because it was a first, Americans considerd themselves safe and and secure in america, and unattackable by foreign powers. Destroying the Kaaba would shake Muhammedans to their bones, too. and I doubt that it would be able and capable and psychologically equipped to produce an active reaction like the american military response (how ever misleading the longterm strategy of the US has been, if there has been any, that is).
So if an islamic faction is launching a nuclear attack and is not prevented from this by muslims and is supported by many muslims around the globe in fact, and funded by organizations and nations, then this is the point for me at the latest where I stop any further talking, or moral hesitation, and where i would give up all self-limitations and scruples immediately and would unleash all dogs of war and open fire with all weapons in an effort to wipe out this enemy doing this to me and prevent once and for all that he could ever acchieve the ability to do it again. To talk to somebody who nukes my people is absolutely undiscussable for me. Because then it would be not the time of words, but the time of swords. I have nothing to say to someone who masskills my people with nukes, that simple it is. It is either them, or us - that simple.
In other words: nuclear terror is where all subtlety is finally ending - at the latest. And the answer to it cannot be just to control the menace, but must be to try hard to annihilate all and every factors that led to it, which of course includes the ideology of Islam itself that motivates people to commit violance and conquest. It compares to the denazification of germany - here, no compromises were accepted, too, after all the horror the Nazi's ideology had been responsible for. If that is an unfriendly perspective for muslims, then I strongly suggest they try much harder to stop those who do terror in Islam's name, and I demand them to push much harder to educate Islamic people about how dangerous and inhumane islam'S message to mankind really is, and give up their following to this troublemaking set of queer ideas and superstitions, and stand up against it. It is either this, or that, there is really no in-between this time. Else it is: fly with the crows, get shot with the crows - I'm not sorry then. Everyone is responsible for the decisions he makes. who decides to follow islam is resonsible for it, like I would be repsonsible for supporting nuclear counterstrikes against an ideology and it's centres that motivates for global war and conquest and thus leads towards nuclear attack as well, if only you think it to a logical end.
islam will never be satisfied to just co-exist peacefully with others - this is in it's genes, that there is somethign that is not itself already is offending and needs to be overcome, no matter in what way and by what tools and means. There can be no peace as long as not all is Islam. This mission is true Islam, and not the nicetalking of it that has become a modern habit in the west. See where it has led us to: a state of cultural desintegration and self-denial. More and more of our fellow citizens can no longer say and do not even want to know anymore who they are and where they have come from.
The ship has already hit the iceberg, but nobody cares. Nobody tries to repair the damage, nobody even tries to save his life. Instead, everybody is denying as much as he can that there has been a collision, that there is a leak, that the ship is taking water, and that it will sink if nothing gets done. Lazy they sit in the bar, having drinks, giving toasts, and think it will be like that, forever, and if the floor seems to fall into growing angles, then this is not due to the water filling the ship, but because of becoming drunk from having had too much fun, too many drinks, too much laughter. So, nothing gets done. Life can be so easy, the music plays on, the party is wonderful, isn't it. Nice to meet you, how's your wife and kids?
Go figure how the story ends. Different to it, the Titanic actually had survivors.
