Hispanic, Islamic Groups Want Tancredo Out
By STEVEN K. PAULSON
Associated Press Writer
Hispanic and Islamic groups called on Rep. Tom Tancredo to resign Monday, saying he has embarrassed Colorado by suggesting bombing Islamic holy sites if terrorists launch a nuclear attack on the U.S.
They also criticized the GOP congressman's staunch advocacy of tougher immigration controls.
"Enough is enough. We're here to say 'Stop,'" Hispanic activist Manolo Gonzalez-Estay told a crowd of about 200 at the state Capitol.
Abdur-Rahim Ali, imam of a Muslim shrine in Denver, said Tancredo's statement that "you could take out" Islamic holy sites in a retaliatory attack was unacceptable.
"What would happen if a prominent Muslim made that statement about Catholic holy places like the Vatican?" asked Ali.
Tancredo was traveling and unavailable for comment. His spokesman, Will Adams, said the four-term congressman has no intention of apologizing or resigning.
"They are a lot more upset about what he stands for, our nation's security and border policy, than anything else," Adams said.

Democracy can be a bummer sometimes :-).
"I note your pointed refusal to address the Grand Mosque issue I raised OR the point that OBL would be happy to see Mecca nuked since that would validate his statements that the US is trying to destroy Islam."
First of about the the Mosque. Who cares?
Iran took over the mosque and Saudi Arabia took it back.
Are you trying to say that Saudi Arabia would attack us?
I don't think the have a death wish!
As far as Osama is concerned, I don't care and even support for him is dwindling. I should care wheter Osama feels justified?
Don't think so.
"These people" are NOT every Moslem and to make that claim is very dangerous."
Until I see more condemnation of these acts from 'MOSLEMS', to me they are!
They are supported by the 'MOslem' nations through propaganda and funding and I haven't seen a single one of them stand up and condemn them.
Unless, of course, it's THEIR people being attacked.
And even then, to them it's an ISRAELI CONSPIRACY!
Gotta run!
By now!
Real shame, isn't it? Mere mention of words like "Tancredo" or "amnesty" draws them like moths to the flame. I always look forward to the shameless illegal alien flacking engaged in by FR's resident quisling contingent.
So, if we are nuked we should just shut up and take it so as not to make OBL's jihad against the west seem valid?
The enemies of America are united in hating Tancredo - more than enough reason to redouble our support of him!
Tancredo should just give up the 08 race. He is just going to waste money and time. He is a one issue candidate.
They have. The Vatican is a much a threat to the radical Muslims as any other western country. The Vatican will be bombed by these people when they think the world is ready for it.
The Latino community and the terrorists. Are they one in the same? Both hate America and would like to over throw us. Wonder who'll win this bid?
Next we'll wait for the open border politicians in DC to strut around and call for Tancredo's demise. Tancredo should tell them Karl Rove has to be the first one to go.
Interesting.
If you had a bishop who was killing infants after he baptized them and the Vatican knew, would you condemn the Vatican?
Of course you would.
The reason you don't hold the Vatican accountable for your bishop being gay, is that at some level you feel it's a personal choice. If I'm wrong about how you would react in the example (the Bishop who kills -- or the Bishop who's gay) let me know. And let me know if I'm right too. This might clear up for me why you think it's OK for them to nuke us and us to just "take it".
If you don't like him, don't vote for him... I think he'll win in a landslide.
You really need me to answer this? Because the Islamist bombers do not believe that those Muslims they are bombing are real Muslims at all. Because Iraqi policemen are seen as traitors under the thumb of the infidel. Etc.
You think he'll win cause you are dillusional. He doesnt stand a chance vs. Allen, Guiliani or even McCain nationally.
That's what they think. I think the Scummy Hated Islamic Terrorists Stooges... should be responsible for their actions.
Osama will go down in History as the man who caused Mecca to be destroyed.
Only la raza and CAIR sympathizers are in a huff over this. The rest of us are just nodding.
The reason I don't hold the Vatican accountable for a bishop being gay is because as far as I know it is against the belief of the Vatican
And don't forget the: "Tancredo stabbed Delay in the back" line. Must have heard that one a million times.
The silence from the administration in support of Americans is deafening.................
