New It might also extend who the enemy is.
To destroy Muslim holy places would foreclose the option of installing a reformed Islam. If there actually are a significant number of moderate Muslims out there, this would turn them against us for sure. And besides, it makes us look petty.

Also, just because some people make a religion out of commerce doens't mean it should be regarded as such. Think of the impact on tax revenues!
