US Presidential Candidate Wants To Attack Mecca and Medina!

I normally don't consider personal views and acts of people toward some country or nation. But when it comes to views of Presidential Candidates, it must be considered toward that nation or country.

Here is what Tom Tancredo, Republican Presidential Candidate said:

Nice to know the mentality of a Presidential Candidate

What a retard.

your thoughts?

 

anyone can run for president, all you have to do is fill out some paperwork. his 0% support in national polls says it all, I think.

 

True but still. See this:

lorien1973, this is not just a statement of an individual from US. He must have balls to say all that, something sure is behind him on whose support he is speaking so loud.

Its same like threatening of attack on Rome for the act of a couple hundred Christians of Philipines or attack on Israel for act of couple hundred Jews of Canada.

 

I'm not saying there isn't a contigent of people who believe we should nuke mecca, there is. I see that line of thought all the time; its ludicrious and stupid. But this guy is just a house member - probably a 5th or 6th term guy - who doesn't even have to campaign to win his seat each cycle. Equating this statement with agreement among those who vote for him; doesn't wash.

Tancredo should have stuck to the issue he is about - immigration. Putting his nose elsewhere, he clearly shows he's out of his element and more out of his mind than normal.

 

I am positive someone will misunderstand me, but I will try anyways:

I read the whole paragraph of what he said and in that context it is different than that of what the OP tried to portray. This guy, Tancredo, is saying that if you promise to attack those sites if and only if this country is attacked. It is making a promise to hit back where it counts to the extremists and those who support the works of these extremists.

This isn't a pre-emptive attack but an answer to an attack.

I am not saying what he says is right, just trying to put it into a correct perspective.

To those who can't read, comprehend or general are foaming at the mouth...
- fire away -

 

Not just an attack, but a Nuclear attack..

I will post and highlight the point OP felt to drop..

Obviously that would be extreme step and would hurt billions of people's faith, So ofcourse it is not acceptable..

But what he said is just his opinion in the case of a nuclear attacks by extreme Islamic terrorists.....

 

debunked and The Webmaster, Who will prove that attack on homeland of that nature was by Islamic terrorists? And it was not done by someone else pretending to be Muslims? Or was not done one purpose?
While conspiracy theories about twin towers are still around.

There are a lot of non-Muslims who hate US like hell. What if Venezuela with a population of 96% Roman Catholic do something like that? (I know you will say Venezuela don't have nukes lol) What if North Korea do something like that?

For an instance we assume some Muslim do that. Cannot it be the reaction of their attack on Afghanistan or Iraq? Purely on the base of country patriotism?

What are your thoughts about:

 

district (he's not a senator, so he represents maybe 1 or 2 counties in a state). it is very hard to remove an incumbent once he's in office. whether he's liked or not; the majority of voters always vote for the incumbent and don't pay attention to issues.

not necessarily. i'm not sure you can make the leap that he's been saying this or similar for 15 years. has he been a conspiracy guy for 15 years? yep. is he weird? yep.

heh. if they did that; there wouldn't be a 95% re-elect rate each cycle. even congressman who are indicted or about to be indicted win their elections. it's pretty sad, actually.

 

Why US Presidential Candidate wants to create another big problem in this world? In Islam, no muslim can harm anyone. what osama bin laden is doing, this is not real Islam.

Anyways, my advise is not to talk about it. Otherwise, we will face another big problem in near future.

 

Why the hell is that?

If someone's not doing a good job why not get rid of them, surely that is the whole idea of voting.

 

He said:

He isnt saying that they will go and bomb Mecca if anyone nukes US..


Anyways, I consider it a blabber of speech, no one in the sane mind is going to bomb Mecca. And it doesn't worth a discussion..

And for the record - No, I do not support his statement

 

What is interesting is the attitude towards China. Though China has a small military budget in comparison to the US ($800 billion in debt) China has a lot of manpower.

The lame reference to China being communist is stupid and reflects a lot of stupid views coming from a small minority in the US (the cold war ended years ago in case you didn't notice....). China is communist but it has shown how communism in a light form can be successful - who's economy is dying and who's is growing at a huge rate?

 

Who's Economy is dying?

Besides China's growing economy heavily based on exports to US, so in case of US economy failure China's economy will suffer too..

 

This guy is an idiot. And it is very sad to see some members (usual suspects, won't name names) supporting him.

 

Isn't he fanatic or an extremist?

 

I found no one in this thread who supports the guy, not sure if you meant the thread or that you think everyone in his part of that state are idiots and that you somehow knew this already?

At the same time, I don't see what has you so up in arms with a no-name guy in the USA?

 

I'd say the probability is much higher that an Islamic extremist group would attack "holy places" before the US would. Mosques are used in battles every day.

 

I mean thew presidential candidate and not the thread starter.
