Tancredo's MAD Plan Makes Liberals Nuts

I often write columns criticizing President Bush for being a typical big-government, inside- the-Beltway politician.
Every time I do, I get an e-mail from some bonehead who concludes that anyone criticizing George W. Bush must be a liberal Democrat.
This is a common misconception and one that Tom Tancredo is straightening out quite nicely. Tancredo is the Colorado congressman who until last week was famous for being the leading advocate of enforcing immigration laws, thus earning a permanent place on the Bush enemies list.
Last week he became famous for something else: Tancredo proposed that we inform the fundamentalist Muslims of the world that if one of our cities is destroyed by a nuclear bomb, we will destroy their holy cities.
Predictably enough, this drove the liberals nuts. And the liberal it drove the nuttiest was the one in the White House. George W. Bush's State Department termed Tancredo's remarks "insulting and offensive to all of us."
The spokesman went on to say, "We unequivocally reject the idea of targeting Mecca or any other civilian or religious site by anyone."
Well, let's think about that a minute.

This State Dept. mouthpiece does not speak for me.
I support Tancredo's remarks.
Muslims have launched a crusade of terror on the world. It will not be snuffed out with diplomatic nice-speak.

When will the left figure out you can only fly one flag on a flag pole.
Their (the left in this country) idiocy knows no boundary, and they won't be happy until we're all under occupation by one of our many enemies: Too bad it won't be by the socialist leadership in America they envision.
Without the kind of comments and people like Tancredo, we all might as well begin learning to speak Mandarin Chinese or Arabic.

This is what Tancredo should really stand for;
1.) Repeating over and over that Islam is really peaceful.
2.) Forcing Israel to commit suicide by giving those peaceful Palestinians a sea port to import more weapons to shoot more Israeli grandparents in the back as they pull out of Gaza.
3.) Pussification of the military, by charging our soldiers with crimes for daring to shoot the enemy (happened this weekend and before).
4.) Creating the largest government in US history.
5.) Keeping our borders wide open.

You make the assumption (false I think) that someone like Osama bin Laden is OPPOSED to the United States turning Mecca into a pile of rubble. What makes you think he gives a rat's ass about it? I think he cares only about Osama, and the recruitment of his terrorist army. Islam is only a tool for him. He want's a Saddam-like job somewhere, and Islamic zealotry is his way to get there. That's all.

The Tancredo option would make Muhammad a liar:
KORAN [9.28] O you who believe! the idolaters are nothing but unclean, so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque [Mecca, the Kaaba] after this year; and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise.
THIS IS NOT FROM AL-QAEDA!
THIS IS JUST A BIT OF WHAT ALL MUSLIMS, INCLUDING SO-CALLED MODERATES SIGN UP FOR WHEN THEY SAY THE BISMALLAH "THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS PROPHET"!
KORAN [3.28] Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
KORAN [4.34] Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
KORAN [4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
KORAN [9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
KORAN [9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair [Ezra] is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:176] Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' "
HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:177] Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:56:791] Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!' "
HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6981] Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me); kill him.
HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6982] Ubaidullah has reported this hadith with this chain of transmitters (and the Words are):
"There is a Jew behind me."
HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6983] Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
You and the Jews would fight against one another until a stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.
HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6984] Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
The Jews will fight against you and you will gain victory over them until the stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; kill him.
HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6985] Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:283] Narrated Abu Juhaifa:
I asked Ali, "Do you have the knowledge of any Divine Inspiration besides what is in Allah's Book?" 'Ali replied, "No, by Him Who splits the grain of corn and creates the soul. I don't think we have such knowledge, but we have the ability of understanding which Allah may endow a person with, so that he may understand the Qur'an, and we have what is written in this paper as well." I asked, "What is written in this paper?" He replied, "(The regulations of) blood-money, the freeing of captives, ******** and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel." *********
HADITH Sunan Abu Dawud [14:2526] Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.

"The spokesman went on to say, "We unequivocally reject the idea of targeting Mecca or any other civilian or religious site by anyone."If the Muslims target one of our cities with a nuke, there will not be a Politician or LEO of any sort who will be able to stop what Americans will do. I would add that before we nuke Mecca we should parachute the entire State Department into it first.

If the United States is attacked under this President, I would suspect he would destroy all the military facilities of all nations that are known to support terrorism. He would destroy them with a nuclear response. The terrorists need nation states to support them in their asymmetric warfare against our country. By destroying them with a nuclear strike his message would be clear to any state that supports terror. The message would be this, "attack us or help those that do attack and YOU WILL BE DESTROYED."
I would be very surprised if Condi Rice has not whispered this into the ear of such nations as Syria, Iran, Korea, and perhaps Pakistan and Saudi.

Hey, you're on the wrong thread. This one isn't about Illegal Immigration - which you openly support.
Oh..... wait.
Aha I see now, you have "Tancredo" on your Google news alert list don't you.

I agree with you but I think Tancredo's position is based on the reality that Bin Laden and the Islamofacists would be much less dangerous if so much of the Islamic world did not (at least quietly) support them.
In this article, Mulshine cites a recent Pew Global Attitudes Survey that shows Bin Laden is supported by a majority of Jordanians (supposedly a US ally) among other Islamic countries.
If the people of the Islamic world realized there would be a terrible price to pay for even implicitly supporting and condoning the Islamofacists' nuking of America, they would take steps to make sure it doesn't happen
