Actually, I think surrendering to the muslim world is a fine idea.

Since the muslim world is so huge and diverse, it would have to be a
conditional surrender. Otherwise the USA would receive a bunch of
contradictory demands from the various muslim nations involved. So I
propose a formal surrender, in about a year, to whoever rules Mecca at
that time. At that time USA negotiators would sit down with the
representatives of the muslim world (as in, those that rule Mecca) and
work out the exact terms of USA surrender. The USA should stear clear of
taking any sides should conflict over Mecca result.

Perhaps the USA might immediately acceed to a demand to cease support
for Israel. Israel, then, would have no choice but to use nuclear
weapons should war erupt since, as the 1973 war showed, they would
otherwise quickly run out of conventional ammunition.

Somehow the idea of the entire middle east becoming a radioactive glass
plain has a certain appeal. It would be a permanent memorial to the
billions of lives lost to religious bigotry and intolerance thru the
ages.
