DENVER — Local Muslims aren't satisfied with an apology from U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo about his remarks about bombing Islamic holy sites, Muslim officials said Saturday at a Denver rally.
"He needs to be removed from office," said Gerald Muhammad, a Nation of Islam minister from Denver. "We're not going to stop pushing until he is censored. We can't afford to have a man like that in office."
Muhammad and other Muslims spoke to about 200 people at the "With Justice Comes Peace" at Civic Center Park.
Tancredo has been under fire since July 15 when he told a radio host that the United States could "take out their holy sites," if Islamic terrorists attacked the country with nuclear bombs.
Some at the rally worry that Tancredo's remarks will cause people to be hostile towards Muslims and encourage prejudice.
"He should be bringing people together, not dividing them," Israr Haq, 42, of Northglenn. "The congressman went overboard."
The U.S. Rep. told a Muslim group Wednesday he was sorry if anyone was offended by what he said, but he stands by his comments, his spokesman Will Adams said.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Republican Party said Friday the party backs Rep. Tom Tancredo, despite rifts the Colorado congressman has created with some Hispanic groups over his outspoken opposition to illegal immigration.
"The fact is, we're a big-tent party. I'm proud that we have debate in our party. I think debating the way to protect our borders and protect our national security is a good thing. I believe in a big public debate," Ken Mehlman said.
I just wish I was a CO resident so I could vote for him.
The only apology he should make is for using the word could rather than should. A remark like this is not only spot on, but could cause an Islamofacist to think twice before setting off a nuclear device in this country.
Will someone please beam these fools up to their "mothership" already?
I must have missed the part where these Muslims demanded that their fellow terrorists stop killing people.
This was not an original idea of Tancredo's. Has U.S. threatened to vaporize Mecca?, WorldNetDaily January 7, 2005.

Whatever happened to "freedom of speech"? Apparently it's only a one-way street.
Muslim cry-babies setting the stage in Denver for some car bombings or other acts of Islamic "worship".
Remove him after we remove you mutts
Hang in there Tom! It's just part of the way they do war.
"With Justice Comes Peace" sounds like a threat to keep up the terrorism.
"The Headlines we would like to see"

"This is my oldest son Mohamed. He's 24 years old now".
"Yes, I remember him as a baby" says the other mother cheerfully.
"He's a martyr now though" mum confides.
"Oh so sad dear" says the other.
"And this is my second son Kali. He's 21"
"Oh, I remember him," says the other happily, "he had such curly hair when he was born".
"He's a martyr too " says mum quietly.
"Oh gracious me ...." says the other.
"And this is my third son. My baby. My beautiful Ahmed. He's 18", she whispers.
"Yes" says the friend enthusiastically, "I remember when he first started school".
"He's a martyr also," says mum, with tears in her eyes.
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully at the photographs and says ...
"They blow up so fast, don't they?"

Screw the Muslims. Who gives a damn what they think.
How strange... these same Muslims couldn't raise a hand to denounce the terror bombings. Perhaps not strange...
