"Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo told a radio show host that the U.S. could "take out" Islamic holy sites if Muslim fundamentalist terrorists attacked the country with nuclear weapons. He made his remarks Friday on WFLA-AM.
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."
Spokesman Will Adams said the four-term congressman doesn't support threatening holy Islamic sites but that Tancredo was grappling with the hypothetical situation of an attack deadlier than 9/11. "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?"
"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.
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."
just found this
I really hope it doesn't come to that

I mean doing this to there holy sites would basically give the terrorists a a solid reason to kill the shit out of us.

yeah and they go there to fight and die for ridiculos reasons...
In my opinion there is only one justified reason for a country to go to war and its defending themselves against an invasion. That's what I call fighting for freedom and justice. eg.
"FREEDOOOOOOOM" William Wallace in Braveheart a great example of a justified act of war
So I hope you all agree on that invading a country because of protecting "our way of life" or democracy is just bullshit.

No one likes us, I don't know why, we may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try, but all around, even our old friends put us down, let's drop the big one and see what happens. We give them money but are they grateful? No, they're spiteful and they're hateful, they don't respect us, so let's surprise them, we'll drop the big one and pulverize them. Asia's crowded and Europe's too old, Africa is far too hot, and Canada's too cold, South America stole our name, let's drop the big one, there'll be no one left to blame.
We'll save Australia, don't wanna hurt no kangaroo, we'll build an all American amusement park there, they got surfin', too. Boom goes London and boom Paris, more room for you and more room for me. Every city the whole world round will just be another American town, oh, how peaceful it will be, we'll set everybody free, you'll wear a Japanese kimono and there'll be Italian shoes for me.
They all hate us anyhow, so let's drop the big one now. Let's drop the big one now.
