WND writer openly states he wants to nuke Mecca.

"Dat will show dem moose-lims how civilized we is!"

Columnist: US should ‘bomb Mecca off the face of the earth’ to show Muslims ‘our God is more powerful’

As conservative politicians ratchet up hatred of Syrian refugees seeking asylum in the U.S. to escape persecution from radical jihadists, a conservative columnist claims that he is “sick and tired” of being pushed around by the followers of Islam and suggests a final solution: “Bomb Mecca off the face of the earth.”

This week saw possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump calling for Muslims to wear some type of identifying badge — reminiscent of the yellow Star of Davids Jews were forced to wear in Nazi Germany — and some GOP lawmakers suggesting internment camps like the ones used to incarcerate Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Writing for conservative news site WorldNetDaily, Burt Prelutsky suggested that destroying Islamic terrorist group ISIS isn’t enough and that the center of the Islamic world and the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad needs to be destroyed as a lesson to the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world.

“Suggesting that there is nothing wrong with a religion whose Quran is a handbook for terrorism is reminiscent of those fools who keep insisting that communism is perfect, and that the only problem with it is that it’s never been done right, whether in China, the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, Mongolia or North Korea. Believe in Marx’s utopia, the idiots insist, not your own eyes,” he wrote.

The former television comedy writer turned conservative gadfly continued, “My own politically incorrect suggestion is that we remove ISIS from the face of the earth, hopefully as a joint effort with every other nation it has threatened or attacked, and that we then bomb Mecca off the face of the earth, not concerning ourselves in the least with collateral damage, letting the Muslims know once and for all that our God is far more powerful and, yes, vengeful than their own puny deity.”

Prelutsky allowed that killing the 1.2 million people who live in Mecca — Islamic or not –might be harsh, but “they’ve been asking for it for over 1,400 years.”

“I, for one, am sick and tired of seeing the Islamic bullies demand our lunch money and, like a bunch of scrawny wimps afraid of our own shadow, we hand it over,” he wrote. “What’s even more appalling, we then pretend we did it because we’re good guys who realized that they’re human beings just like us, and who just happen to be a little bit hungrier than we are.”

“The idea that we can civilize these savages is beyond ludicrous.”

(How about we civilize WND first.)

I am sure that that would go over as well as the nuking to occur immediately after, no doubt.

9. You know, bombing Mecca off the face of the earth seems like a very bad idea.

I mean, is it just me, or is this guy kinda crazy? Because I went to the source article and he actually says that.

There is one thing for sure, though. This is dead serious.

Trump has called for Muslims to be 'tracked' and given 'badges' and perhaps 'concentrated' in certain areas. I don't give a shit if we aren't supposed to bring up Hitler, because this is EXACTLY how Hitler and his Nazi brownshirt wearing, swastika sporting, jack booted criminals started out with the Jews.

These fuckers need to be stopped. Like right now! And it is urgent that they be stopped. All of us need to stand up whenever something like this is said and put it down. Immediately. Vocally. Don't let anyone get away with spouting this racist shit.

And, while we're at it, let's also do that whenever a cop kills a black kid. Because this shit has to stop. Deluge the police station with telephone calls. Overload their servers with emails calling for justice. If it happens in your area, do all you can to end it and get justice.

If you don't think a Nazi type movement could rise in America, think again. Because it could, and none of us wants to live through a Fourth Reich rise and fall. We've got to take this very, very seriously.
