The Republican Party Congressman for Colorado 6th District, Tom Tancredo has proposed a retributory action against those he termed as Islamo-facist, meaning Islamist terrorists. He wants to bomb their holy shrines as revenge for any terrorist actions they conduct against the USA or western civilisation (hmmm, what about Asian or African ones?)
When asked whether his proposal includes the bombing of Mecca, he replied "Yeah".
He said his warning would put the onus on moderate Muslims to ensure the extremists don't conduct their terrorist activities, or they will suffer the consequences – in other words, he doesn't want to hear them cry mama when the Americans start to pulverise Islam's holy shrines.
Well, you know what they say about simple plans and simple-minded people?
I would like to see how the USA will cope with an enraged Islamic world should Tancredo gets his wish. And as for Tancredo's threat to moderate Muslims, if the USA were to bomb Mecca, I would say "What moderate Muslims?" because there won't be one on the planet Earth!
And what western targets then would the Islamist Islamo-facists target in the inevitable cycle of violence?
Well, Tancredo is of Italian stock, so presumably as a Catholic he would have some reverence if not affection for the Vatican and St Peter's Cathedral? And what Protestant sacred monuments and churches are there? What about the Wailing Wall (sorry, that's not Christian, but Judaic)?
It's a frightening thought, when blokes like Tancredo come up with such imbecilic proposal without anticipating the outrage the Muslims throughout the world would experience.
No doubt it makes him look like a hero in the eyes of those rightwing Americans who had wanted to nuke Afghanistan after 9/11, and have frequently propose sending all USN aircraft carriers off the coast of China to terrorise Beijing away from Taiwan so that the latter could proclaim its independence.
Hell (no pun intended), why stop at that? Why not nuke everyone else that the USA doesn't like?
Tom Tancredo proudly proclaims on his website that he:
- was born in Colorado
- went to school in Colorado
- worked in Colorado
- works for Colorado
He should really open his mouth to speak only about Colorado.
