Logic has no place here

The Iranian leaders are not interested in logic. Rafsanjani has said that it's perfectly okay to "damage" the Islamic world with a nuclear weapon if it means the destruction of Israel. Nuking Israel means the incineration of Islam's third holiest site. It also means the obliteration of the Palestinians. If Israel retaliates in kind, there's no telling how far the devastation would spread. It could affect Mecca. Do Muslims care?
