Attack the US? We'll bomb your 'churches.'

Quote:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo’s campaign stood by his assertion that bombing holy Muslim sites would serve as a good “deterrent” to prevent Islamic fundamentalists from attacking the United States, his spokeswoman said Friday.
“This shows that we mean business,” said Bay Buchanan, a senior Tancredo adviser. “There’s no more effective deterrent than that. But he is open-minded and willing to embrace other options. This is just a means to deter them from attacking us.”
On Tuesday, Tancredo warned a group of Iowans that another terrorist attack would “cause a worldwide economic collapse.” IowaPolitics.com recorded his comments.
“If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites in Mecca and Medina,” Tancredo said. “That is the only thing I can think of that might deter somebody from doing what they would otherwise do. If I am wrong, fine, tell me, and I would be happy to do something else. But you had better find a deterrent, or you will find an attack.”
Tom Casey, a deputy spokesman for the State Department, told CNN’s Elise Labott that the congressman’s comments were “reprehensible” and “absolutely crazy.” Tancredo was widely criticized in 2005 for making a similar suggestion.
–CNN Associate Producer Lauren Kornreich
While shocking at first, I think this guy really has a point. It's obvious by the number of suicide bombings that these radical muslims care for little other than their religion. Why, then, are we not attacking them where it hurts?
The "impending terrorist attack," if any, is predicted to be worse than 9/11. If this is true, I don't believe we would be in the wrong to retaliate.
It's definately an extreme plan, and it should only be used in the most dire circumstances, but that threat might be the only one that hits home for jihadists.

I certainly dont think we should target churches/mosques. But if they happen to be using a church to fight the Jihad I definitely say attack the church.

I still say EVERY American bullet should contain a drop of pigs blood... Their dead bodies would be "unclean" and they wouldn't make it to "heaven".
I don't believe in that bullshit, but THEY DO... so we should use it.

Fuck them. They want ALL of us to be converted to Islam or ALL or us dead. Then ALL of us will fight them. It's truly want they want. No fucking rules. Just dead extremists. Show them they have something to lose and nothing to die for.

Really are you so stupid you can't tell the difference between terrorists and innocent people who believe in Islam?
What you're saying is akin to claiming that some KKK members are christians so we might as well wipe all christians off the face of the earth.

how about we just leave them alone...and they leave us alone?
I think if we got all our "peace keeping troops" (the ones with huge machine guns) out of other countries and stopped trying to tell the rest of the world what to, they might leave us alone...
Do you really think, if we said- "we will remove all our troops from every country but our own, they would still want to fight us?"
I really don't think they are that crazy and unreasonalbe...
We should say- "we will remove all our troops after a month of ZERO voilence" "Once we withdraw, if attacks on america or europe continue, we nuke mecca"
I believe they would be cool with that deal...
The jihad is supposed to be a huge online thing, I'd like to talk to some of these guys...
"Terrorist"...I know your people just like me, I don't want U.S. troops in your country ethier, Let's talk... I'm a God-fearing man, just as you are, Do you really want endless war? Or could we both just live in peace? And practice what we choose to believe?

It is impossible to bomb churches. Church is a spiritual place, temples however exist on Earth! But they were built by hands of man.

Muslims don't have churches, they use mosques for their psycho-criminal activities.

He wants to attack Mecca of all places? Only around 15 percent of Muslims live in Arabic countries. All able bodied Muslims are required to make a hajji to the holiest city of Islam once in their life. Hypothetically speaking if we did bomb Mecca, you;d have a lot of Moderate Muslims (yes even American) joining the Jihad to fight back. To them it's Islam first, country second.
This is doing nothing but helping the radical imams recruit more soldiers for their cause of Jihad. Is this Tom Tancredo a Christian? Doesn't he know that Christians and Muslims worship the same god?
This isn't the first time Mr. Tancredo has put his foot in his mouth. He's a fucking idiot in the truest sense of the word.

I'm saying that it may be necessary to bomb Mosques and other holy Islamic sites in the event of a string of terrorist attacks. Minimizing noncombatant fatalities of course. The majority of Muslims are not terrorists, but the majority of Muslims would also like to see America fall. My post was mostly said in jest to stir up some emotions.

It's not necessary, and it will never happen. It's true what you said, a large majority of Muslims sympathize with the mouthpiece of Al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden because he stands up to the west. Those same Muslims would never want to live under his rule.
>Minimizing noncombatant fatalities of course
in Mecca? baaahahah

Well we just don't know what may become necessary do we? When this country is in a state of panic many things are going to happen that we didn't think were necessary. It's going to be scary.

Bombing Mecca would be a great criminal act - but utterly unrealistic. It is mostly a pipe dream of some militarist fringes.
