Sad.
"No people, no problem"? You're leaning in a very dangerous direction here.

I'm not leaning to it. I don't really like the idea of war. However what I stated is pretty darn close to being fact.

Hey, that rhetoric looks familiar. Where have we heard that sort of thing before?
Oh, yeah. I remember now.
Advocating the destruction of an entire swath of people based on the actions of a tiny minority of them ... forgive my contempt.

You're advocating for killing 1.6 billion people. You realize that, right?

The Middle East is the epicenter of religious craziness: Jewish, Christian, and Islamic. The Hindus aren't far away. . . So my answer is at least 200 years after everywhere else.
The frightening thing to me, is despite the fact that the U.S. is getting more secular again, we are our own little epicenter for new Christian craziness: snake handlers; Southern Baptist young earthers; Mormons; Jehovah's Witnesses.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

No, but if a terrorist nukes Tel Aviv and the Israelis respond by nuking Tehran, it might shock everyone into taking stock.
Or it might result in real trouble.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Just for clarity. This is the exact Hitler quote from "Mein Kampf", page 142.
Quote: There can be no bargaining with Satan, there is no agreement to be reached with evil, you do not yield land to evil because evil will use the land to organize and then spread out across the globe. There is only one acceptable policy when dealing with the Jew, treat it as one treats a cancer.

You can bet both of your butt cheeks that it's the latter. A stronger unifying factor against the West at large is hardly imaginable. Always try to walk in their shoes and what you would do when something like that happened.

The Japanese were shocked into changing their way of thinking as a result of getting nuked. Not to say it would be the same for Arabs but it's possible.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I don't think that's quite equivalent, since the Japanese leader was a sort of a god or at least the direct decedent of one. Gods who lose aren't gods. Besides, the reason for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan was to bring about surrender, not a change in religion. What it brought about was surrender and the end of the then current regime. Becoming secular was a side affect.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
