I have not propose attacking Mecca and Medina. I cannot imagine anything that would enrage worldwide Islam more (aside from being unjust). I do not favor any kind of attack on Cairo or Rabat or any Muslim city. I do love Muslims and do not feel that Christianity should be imposed on anyone. Jesus said, knock and the door will be opened. There is no compulsion in Christianity; in fact, Christianity is the antitithis of compulsion because it REQUIRES each individual’s internal assent. I do not call for a Christian “jihad.” All such arguments are “straw men.” I would suggest that atheists and agnostics should dread the triumph of Islam because they will NOT be tolerated in Islamic state. They will be considered to be “casting corruption upon the Earth.” Read what the Qu’ran says about the treatment of such disbelievers. You seem to think tha Christianity requires a pacifistic response to every attack. I do not agree. The church has had a “just war” doctrine for hundreds of years. The only alternative to conflict is complete separation. We must separate ourselves from the Islamic world so it is not a threat to our very continued existence. This is distasteful to us, but necessary. Good intentions are not enough. Already we see a September 11 demonstration being banned in Brussels and a Muslim parade being scheduled for New York, incredibly, for September 9, two days before the anniversary. What an “in your face” statement of contempt by Islam.
