“Mecca and Medina are not ruined wrecks with most buildings gone forever and the Kabaa a pile of dust, gone to ashes.”

They are not half-mile-deep glass-lined craters that glow in the dark, either. They should be. So should Qom. The last of the Muslim holy sites, Jerusalem, should of course be spared – but no Muslim should ever be allowed there again. EVER.
