Well here it is! Seems this idea is becoming more mainstream as time goes by and the threats continue.
Edit: I think 100 cities is a bit much, but a plainly stated policy of Equal retaliation against those who commit OR harbor the culprits?
A threat to vaporize 100 Muslim cities?

Back in the days of the Cold War, the U.S. had a nuclear-weapons doctrine called Mutual Assured Destruction, or MAD for short. This doctrine held that
if the U.S. were attacked with weapons of mass destruction, or WMD, we would immediately and without debate counter-attack the homeland of the
perpetrator in such a way and with such overwhelming nuclear force as to make the cost of the initial attack too much to bear.
For instance, if the Soviet Union or the Chinese would have attacked us with WMD in the Cold War, we would have counter-attacked at the very least by
destroying their 100 largest cities. The theory was that once you have destroyed the 100 largest cities of any society, even an evil empire, that
society effectively ceases to exist, perhaps for several generations, thus deterring any WMD attack. Variations of this same nuclear doctrine were
held by our Cold War allies and advisories, including the evil empire.
Of course, the hand wringers, peaceniks and leftist elites would shout and scream bloody murder about how aggressive, unfair and politically incorrect
this doctrine appears. However, I believe it would accomplish the same thing as MAD – namely, the successful deterrence of nuclear holocaust. All we
need is the will to declare it.
Edit:
The Proposal?
I propose that the U.S. immediately adopt and publish the following nuclear doctrine:
In the event of a WMD attack by terrorists on the U.S. homeland or U.S. military facilities overseas, the U.S will immediately and without discussion
use its immense nuclear weapons capabilities to destroy the 100 largest Islamic cities on earth, regardless of state, and destroy all of the military
facilities of Islamic-dominated states. This will include all of the capitals and at least the 10 largest cities of all Islamic-dominated states and
the "holy" cities of Mecca and Medina. In addition, North Korean cities and military installations will be destroyed.
