Islamist and Islamic-extremists are two different things.
And I don't see anyone here suggesting negotiation other than you. We are suggesting that the wholesale destruction of a city is an inappropriate response.
There are many levels in between the two.

To a destruction of a another city? We disagree then.

Dude, pay attention.

No one said that either. We are responding to this, from Haplo:

If we are hit again by islamic terrorists - and since they don't care about their own lives, we will hit something that does have true meaning to them. Call it a cold war mentality - but the next US target that gets hit by islamic terrorists, the "holy city" of Mecca becomes a big hole in the ground.

No where in there did he mention that the destruction of Mecca would be only in response to the destruction of a city.
Even so, I'd disagree with "preselecting" a city, in any case. That's silly and tactically/strategically inflexible.
Not to mention, would be a great way to invite further terrorism from normally benign sources...
