Islamic fundamentalism can’t be destroyed with physical bombings directed at physical objects. How can a philosophy be destroyed physically? How can a bomb wiping out a physical place really wipe out an ideology? It can’t.
Consider this: Sunni Muslims follow the traditions known as "hadith" as a way of perceiving the Qur’aan. In the hadith, one states that it is lawful to assassinate a being who walks directly between the Muslim and their point of prostration during prayer. The praying Muslim is to stop the trespasser a total of three times, and if that doesn’t work, the trespasser is said to be a devil and it is then lawful to use physical force to end the transgression, this physical force ending with nothing less than murder if no other way is feasible or effective. What, then, do people think coming between the entire Muslim populace and one of their 5 obligations would result in? I say, it would be nothing less than the cause for a all out and Islamically agreed upon jihad, not a secterian psuedo-jihad like we are seeing now. If people think that having jets fly in to 2 skyscrapers full of people was bad, then I wonder how these same people would view having their quite local Muslim community take up arms against every non-Muslim in the area.
As far as the idea that Rome had destroyed radical, fundamentalist Judaism, consider Isreal. It is a country founded upon the basic tenets of radical Judaism. Yes, we can argue that the Zionist occupiers are political in nature, and not religious and therefore aren’t fundamentalist, however truth be told the Zionist regime justifies every atrocity with a fundamentalist interpretation of the Judaic faith, therefore in the long run, Rome’s actions haven’t wiped out anything, but rather sharpened it to conceal itself behind a facade of suits, ties, and political rhetoric. This same thing is done by Muslims and it is known internationally as The Muslim Brotherhood, Brotherhood of Muslims, or, Ikhwaani Muslimiin. The Saudi Government is reported to have spent tens of billions of dollars at one point to place "fundamentalist" Muslim teachers in the universities of the world, as well as to translate many fundamentalist texts into different languages to spread the doctrines to the masses. Let it be known that war and mind-games aren’t abstract concepts to the Muslim mind, and to continue to consider these individuals as somehow different or less evolved does two things. Firstly, it shows the naive arrogance of the west to think that somehow war will work for us, and always against them, and it shows a gross underestimation of Muslim planners.
Islam itself has its roots in Rome. In the time of Muhammad, his hometown had been infested by Roman Catholic "plants", awaiting the coming of a prophesied "comforter". Roman astrologers knew for some time that, from that region, at a time foretold by the stars, would come a prophet, and that prophet would have the character and demeanor necessary to implement a faith upon a foreign people who were difficult to convert to Christianity. Augustine devised a plan to place Roman Catholic nuns and priests in the region of Mecca in high enough concentration, and blending in so as to round up this individual early in their awakening and in turn guide their perception of the awakening towards an inherently Christian comprehension. Muhammad’s first wife, Khadija, was Catholic. As soon as he got the desired results from his cave-meditation sessions and freaked out, he went to her, who in turn sent him to her uncle, a Roman-Catholic priest. This priest then commenced to explain Muhammad’s visions as being the angel Gabriel coming to him to teach him of the next phase in God’s plan for man, and that next step was Islam. It was to be spread both by nature and nurture, aka word and sword, by the Arabs to the world. Rome never imagined that this man could be so influential as to pull it off, and now we have the present situation; the Roman descendants have a way-ward child to deal with and are so frustrated that they are ready to use nuclear weapons to "defeat fundementalism", and are trying to use Biblical lies to justify it.
Consider the issue that Christianity itself is only the sum of stolen, so-called pagan teachings and mythologies. It has elements from so many different cultures that have been invaded and destroyed. This makes Christianity a way-ward child of the ancient mystery schools, too big for its own britches, and running roughshod over the inhabitants of this whole planet. Now, one of its own bastard children is acting the same way. It is truly son against father, but people are so caught up in the hype that the two aren’t one, but really are two, that they can’t see that what we have is a whole bunch of pain and strife, dressed up in suits, ties, collars and habits, kufees and khimar, all killing itself. People need to get the hell out of the way and let it fall faster. Instead of bombs, try using right knowledge to kill not only Islamic fundamentalism, but also Christian and Jewish. Of course, people are still afraid to go to Hell, so they think they have some inherent rights to something, justified by faith. All forms of fundamentalism are breeding grounds for terror, and the Christian right are equally bad. Where do you think the idea for nuking Mecca came from? I would guess from the same murderous and dominating intent that created and then destroyed Herod, and even Rome. Americans will fall with the current incarnation of this barbaric ideology, unless Americans wake up to the evils of Re-Legion as a whole, and stop thinking that we are some god-favored nation that deserves, anything.
