Hispanic and Muslim groups called on US Republican Tom Tancredo to resign

Hispanic and Muslim groups called on US Republican Tom Tancredo to resign, saying he has embarrassed Colorado by suggesting that Americans bomb Islamic holy sites if terrorists launch a nuclear attack on the United States.

They also criticised the Republican congressman's staunch advocacy of tougher immigration controls. "Enough is enough. We're here to say 'Stop,"' Hispanic activist Manolo Gonzalez-Estay told a crowd of about 200 people at the state Capitol.

Abdur-Rahim Ali, imam of the Northeast Denver Islamic Center, said Tancredo's statement that "you could take out" Islamic holy sites in a retaliatory attack was unacceptable.

"What would happen if a prominent Muslim made that statement about Catholic holy places like the Vatican?" asked Ali. Tancredo's spokesman, Will Adams, said the four-term congressman would not comment on the rally, but has no intention of apologising or resigning.

"They are a lot more upset about what he stands for, our nation's security and border policy, than anything else," Adams said. Leslie Hanks went to the rally with a sign supporting Tancredo for president. "I'm very proud of him," Hanks said.

Salaam all,

Lets just make clear what he is advocating, "terrorists" normally means criminals not acting on orders of a government (except in the French Rainbow Warrior case etc).
So if independant criminals happen to be from a country where the majority of citizens have surrendered to God, then the US of A should bomb holy sites of just the same nation as where the criminals come from, or Islamic sites in general.?

Does that apply to American criminals as well, if american criminals were say running Cuba, (as they used to) then it would be okay to launch some tow missiles at Mt Rushmore or fly some planes into the Twin Towers.

So in the end this is just a tit for tat race to be the worst terrorists.

What is then justified by the US using DU projectiles, agent orange, etc etc etc etc. Hey he made the call not me.

Peace
