Urge Republicans To Repudiate Tancredo's 'Bomb Mecca' Remark
(WASHINGTON, DC, 7/21/2005) - CAIR today called on all people of conscience to contact Colorado and national and Republican Party leaders and urge them to repudiate Rep. Tom Tancredo's (R-CO) remarks suggesting that America could bomb Mecca.
Tancredo made the remarks during an interview on a Florida radio talk show last Thursday during a discussion of what should be done in response to an attack on this country by "extremist fundamentalist Muslims." Tancredo said one possible response would be to "take out their holy sites." When Campbell asked if the congressman was "talking about bombing Mecca," Tancredo replied, "Yeah." Despite condemnation of those remarks by Muslim in this country and worldwide, Tancredo has refused to apologize.
"While the rest of America seeks to win the war on terror, isolate extremists and improve our nation's international image, Rep. Tancredo is busy handing rhetorical ammunition to those who would do us harm," said CAIR Government Affairs Director Corey Saylor.

Saylor urged the Republican Party and its leadership to clearly distance America and the GOP from Tancredo's inflammatory and irresponsible remarks. Yesterday, CAIR sent letters to President Bush and to the chairmen of the national and Colorado Republican Parties asking that they repudiate Tancredo's remark.

CAIR's site is a great source for finding out what upsets Muslims.
Here's another hypothetical ultimate insult: dropping pork-renderings bombs on Mecca.
CAIR has already stated that they desire to see Sharia law replace the Constitution in the United States. They've also stated that Islam isn't here to be equal with other religions but that it is here to be dominant. They can start bombing Mecca any time they want.
Yes! Tancredo for President, in a heartbeat! Paul Sperry for CIA, Robert Spencer for State, Ralph Peters for SecDef, Michelle Malkin for Immigration and Naturalization - it is SO NICE to see a pool of people who "get it!"
Here's a site I'd like to mention:

We need to keep pushing this one, IMHO. I call his office frequently and their comment is that he WILL run if the important issues continue to be ignored. And I think that we can say that they ARE being ignored! So join my effort to bug Tancredo until he runs!!
PG,
Thank you for the site! We're right behind you; you know the adage, "If at first you don't succeed, nag, nag again!"
Also, folks, please support Duncan Hunter (R - CA), who today proposed legislation the would prevent strategic infrastructure from falling under foreign control, among other things. A brief (and therefore cheap) phone call from outside CA to his office will be answered by a very nice young person. The number is: (202) 225-5672.
Wow, I'm so happy that I'm not the only Tancredoist out there, even if I feel sometimes like the only Fortuynist!
