Rep. Tom Tancredo made his remarks Friday on WFLA-AM in Orlando, Fla. His spokesman stressed he was only speaking hypothetically. Talk show host Pat Campbell asked the Littleton Republican how the country should respond if terrorists struck several U.S. cities with nuclear weapons. “Well, what if you said something like  if this happens in the United States, and we determine that it is the result of extremist, fundamentalist Muslims, you know, you could take out their holy sites,†Tancredo answered. “You’re talking about bombing Mecca,†Campbell said. “Yeah,†Tancredo responded. The congressman later said he was “just throwing out some ideas†and that an “ultimate threat†might have to be met with an “ultimate response.†[u]‘No uniform, no state’[/u] Spokesman Will Adams said Sunday the four-term congressman doesn’t support threatening holy Islamic sites but that Tancredo was grappling with the hypothetical situation of a terrorist strike deadlier than the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. “We have an enemy with no uniform, no state, who looks like you and me and only emerges right before an attack. How do we go after someone like that?†Adams said. “What is near and dear to them? They’re willing to sacrifice everything in this world for the next one. What is the pressure point that would deter them from their murderous impulses?†he said. Tancredo is known in the House for his tough stand on immigration and had a 100 percent rating last year from the American Conservative Union his votes and positions on issues. Mohammad Noorzai, coordinator of the Colorado Muslim Council and a native of Afghanistan, said Tancredo’s remarks were radical and unrepresentative but that people in Tancredo’s position need to watch their words when it comes to sacred religious sites and texts.

Guest BlackJesus Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 [quote]Sure if we are attacked by Israeli and Italian terrorists[/quote] [i][b]actually it wouldn't be nationality... the congresmen did say Sauids (where Mecca is) it would be religion. So you should have said ..... [quote]Sure if we are attacked by Christian/Jewish and Catholic/Christian terrorists[/quote][/b][/i] [i][b]In that case the IRA in England has done far more bombings than Al Qaeda (Catholic) and Tim Mcviegh claimed to be a Christian. On a side note with your initial rationale the Jewish State is a terrorist aparthied State in itself... so .........
