Muslims rally against Tancredo; call for his removal from office

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 don't think we should bomb mecca
we should bulldoze some of their other sites to let them know we are serious
every time there is an attack on US soil
and if there is a nuke detonated here(not a dirty bomb)then mecca needs to go
and if we run out of other sites to bulldoze........mecca needs to go

In case you can't tell, I am a little upset about living under the shadow of terrorism
must be some of that islamophobia thats been going around

It would appear that "Our man" has found a tender spot in the pig sucking moslem asshole. He will now be killed .....of course........by ROPrs........using their protected First Amendment rights to express their political disfavor for him by cutting his head off......and the jihadikrats will look smug and say shit like "He shouldn't have said that" and "Islam is the ROP" and "He should have been impeached for saying that ..where are the WMD's?"

FUCK'EM! Until they get their collective "religion of peace" lovin muslim asses together and vehemently denounce the cowardly actions of their fellow muslims, they have absolutely no right to criticize others....Denounce the actions of your cowardly brethren first or STFU..

The best part is the way the ROP's have formed a new bond with the aztlan assholes who have been trying like hell to bring Tancredo down here. Local news here covered protests by "Pro immigration groups and Muslim organizations" in Denver to call Tancredo to task for his statements.

He's pissed off everyone worth pissing off locally-yippee! My vote really DID count!

Sigh...what's the difference between liberals and communists?

Gee, it's not like he hijacked an airplane and flew it into a building.

Muslims are calling for him to be fired for what he said, that he shouldn't be deviding people? What about these Muslim and black and hispanic "leaders" that preach hate and intolerance as well as racism in it's purest form, that's okay because they're not white, right? It's all fucking bullshit, if these people don't like our country, get the fuck out! If any group strikes out in an act of war on behalf of religion, then that's now a valid military target. One big glass bowl!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Mr. Tancredo and his staff are taking seriously the fact that he is now a target for some POS ROP'er who will attempt to use his "rights" to silence him.

I also hope their attitude is "bring it."
