The greatest mockery of the Hajj would be if Crusaders circling around the Kabal Ka'ba [×] made it fall like the walls of Jericho.
I was thinking more along the lines of a Templar missile with a 15 MT yield neutron weapon[/b], cobalt salted if possible, being detonated during the haij Hajj. [....] Deus Vult [*]!
I'd prefer that a low-yield
neutron weapon be used [†], which would blow away the Islamic masses on the
hajj, but avoid radioactive contamination to nearby uninvolved populations. And to avoid radioactive risk to fire-fighting aircraft, who would be assigned to fill the surrounding Islamic structure with
pork fat--but only after its culinary value has been exhausted.
-------
Note ×: We Catholics will be arguing various Islamic issues for the next many years, so we might as well get accustomed to learning 1 of the accepted
Romanized spellings for their words.
Note
*: I repeatedly read the root [**] inflected thus, but it's
present indicative mood. Shouldn't that be in
subjunctive mood instead, expressing a wish (implying Eng. "if"), as
Deus "velit" (3rd-person inferred from 1st-person
"velim")? But I digress.
Note **: The irregular verb
volō, velle, voluī.
Note †:
Please, Lord, U.S. Pres. Carter wasn't so
naïvely &
foolish as to have actually
eliminate U.S.
neutron weapons or research programs. Because the Russians and Chinese sure as
Hades wouldn't have eliminated either of theirs.
