This is about Tancredo, not me.
There are two explanations for his remark about Mecca:
1) Tancredo's too dense to realize that even hypothetical talk about destroying THE religious shrine for one billion people is wildly reckless.
2) Tancredo's the craftiest guy around; he knows that talking about "nuking Mecca" will be wildly popular with the "let's kill all the ragheads" crowd that largely make up his base.
It's a culture-clash that will inevitably happen sooner rather than later.
Islam is at war with the "infidel" West. Everyone knows that (except you.) It's escalated everyday since 9/11 with NO repite on in sight.
