Bomb Mecca?
| quote: | | A Republican congressman said in a radio interview aired by a Florida station that if a multiple-city attack happened in the United States in the next 90 days, as predicted by an Israeli expert, and was found to be the work of extremist Muslims, then we should take out their holy sites. Congressman Thomas G Tancredo, Republican from Colorado, was being interviewed by AM 540 WFLA radio host Pat Campbell, who asked him what the response of the United States should be were terrorist attacks on US cities to take place and were attributable to extremist Muslims. The Congressman replied, ... then we could take out their holy sites. Asked if that meant Mecca, Tancredo answered, Yes. |
Ok, this is really bothering me.
That right there is a mind of an ignorant and retarded congressman who does not know what they fuck he is talking about. Does he really think that bombing Mecca will result in world peace? Why bomb Mecca? Since when did a extremist bomb a church, the vatican, or tried to kill pope?
Now, this type of comment is what really turns on those patriotic Americans. Not to mention that bombing Mecca will obviously result in a 3rd World War. I'm a muslim and I do feel for those who lost their loved ones in the bombings, but why should I, or any other muslim have to suffer for what someone else has done? Something like this doesn't affect the suicide bomber because he's dead. It's the other muslims who have to put up with it.
I've seen cases in which someone with the last name of 'Mohammed' or something similiar could not get a job clearly for the race. It's sad to see people die, but its even worse to see that racism still might exist in this, or any other country.
