What kind of maniac/idiot would attack Mecca?!

[ck4829]

"An estimated 10,000 American Muslims are preparing to embark on the annual pilgrimage to Islam's holiest sites in Mecca and Medina, in Saudi Arabia, later this month. They will join an estimated one to two million Muslim pilgrims from all over the world. The pilgrimage, or hajj, slated to take place from about February 20-25, is determined by a lunar calendar.

The Saudi Embassy in Washington says about 9,000 American Muslims went on the hajj in 2001. Ibrahim Hooper, the spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington-based advocacy group, said the number of American Muslims making the hajj increases by 1,000 or 2,000 yearly. Hooper said he expects about 10,000 American Muslims to make the journey in 2002. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States."

It's not just ghoulish to even considering to attack Mecca, but you would also be attacking Americans too! The same can be said about ANY holy city such as the Vatican or Jerusalem.

3. Tancredo should be made to apologize by his party. Remarks like his

are used by militants as an excuse to attack westerners. The right is constantly accusing the left of aiding the enemy by their statements but never say anything when some wingnut makes idiotic remarks like this.

4. An onward

christian soldier, who was confused. I am serious. The fact that this is being advocated makes me feel ill.

5. Tancredo says, "Onward, Muslim soldiers!"

As if anyone failed to see through the utterly transparent War on Islam in the first place.
