What would happen if we stated that after the next terrorist attacks we would drop two nukes on Mecca and Medina, {(destroying the Kaaba) according to the Koran the kabba is suppposed to exist at the end of the world}; would this stop terrorist attacks?
I don't realy believe one way or the other on this one, but what do you think??

News update # 7
Research conducted by the Retailers Against Smuggling pressure group says 36% of retailers had considered reducing staff and 38% had considered closing shop after losing revenue to illegal tobacco peddlers. Also, approximately 40% had been offered to purchase illegal and fake cigarettes for their business. In the U.K cigarettes are smuggled in from Latvia (cigarettes cost a fraction of the price they do in the U.K); similarly illegal tobacco products are smuggled in to the U.S from Mexico. The sell of illegal cigarettes has sky rocketed in the last few years in response to high taxation.
