The only point I want to make, and I think it's important, is that you cannot say all Muslims are terrorists. And that Islam, a religion, is not an existential threat to the free world. There have been many religions over the millennia, too many to count, that have sought to control the world. They are the same as communism, fascism, and dictatorships; a means for one group of people to subjugate another.

These people must be opposed. Right now the most active of these is obviously Islam. But to say that all of Islam is terrorists, is to work the wrong way. Islamic jihadists are a subset of all their followers. People who want to see Shar'ia law implemented are another subset. They are your enemies. I could make a Venn diagram...

The problem with saying "bomb Mecca" is you alienate the other Muslims, the ones who are best able to turn the tide of opinion. You can't change public perception for the better with bombs.

My last $0.02, I'm just lurking from here on out.
