I don't like the Religion Of Pieces any more than the rest of you do, but Tom Tancredo's remark was just plain stupid. The interviewee was right when he said Tancredo was stirring up trouble that he didn't need to.

Sometimes, a person needs to show discretion and level-headedness when he speaks publicly.

Where was the outrage in the Muslim world when 09/11 occurred? Oh yes I remember, there was celebrating in the streets.

Only the Muslims can think the unthinkable. The Western World isn't qualified to do that.

Well I'm not a big fan of the nuke Mecca idea, but you know what, I may have to learn to get used to the idea unless a few Muslim a-holes wise up.

We're playing for keeps here Muslims. Which side are you on? For the life of me, it's damned hard to tell about 99.9999% of the time.

If a nuke goes off in one of our cities, you better believe we're going to be looking for payback, and you better understand there are only a few hot-buttons available to us.

If you value your religion, wise up and represent it better.

Nobody here has it in for you, but we're not going to be your bullseye submissively.

You do not understand the Oriental mind. When you say something stupid and detrimental to your own side, the Arabs will not protest. If you say something that is wise and makes sense when it comes to dealing with the Arab attacks, they will bluster and protest because they are truly afraid someone in the infidel community gets it. I predict before the end of this war on terrorism or the war on the Arab civilization, we will see the usage of nuclear weapons on them in order to save our forces from countless casualties like what we finally had to do when confronted with a fanatical Japan. Mark my words.

This Reverend doesn't seem to realize that he will be among the first in line for the Islamic Ovens Of Extermination should the Moolahs get there way.

Some people just refuse to see the reality of the situation.

[monkeybrau]

Oh no! Now they must really hate us. What was that about fear being a motivator for change?

[Clintonfatigued]

You may be right, though I hope it doesn't come to that. If there's no other way, then we'll do what we have to do. But to publicly say that we should single out religious sites for bombings shows a lack of good judgement.

[alnitak]

Beat me to it.

[null and void]

*yawn* Exactly what is it that we do doesn't stir them up?

[HungarianGypsy]

I'm sorry, but after a second London bombing I am at the point I don't think he was fanatical enough. Actually, he was quite mild. So that we go with something that the Muslims understand, I say we go with "an eye for an eye".

[Dead Corpse]

What are we waiting for?

[Aquinasfan]

I hope the Terrorists, THINK WE ARE CRAZY! And UNPREDICTABLE.

We have a winner! The only thing they understand is brute force.

[NoClones]

this all boils down to those who really do believe we have something in the USA that is worth fighting for and those who deep down just want to surrender!

[Antoninus]

If TROP-members nuke a US city, I reckon about 80% of the US population will be calling for the "Tancredo-option."

"If truly moderate Muslims exist they need to get a grip and exercise some self control over their co-religionists so we don't have to do so, but I seriously doubt they will."

I'm with Robert Spencer on this kalee. "Moderate" Muslims have a real tough job on their hands. There's too much in the Koran that does not fit what you'd like to see.

In Iraq, "Moderate" Muslims are literally throwing their copies of the Koran in the Tigris and converting to Christianity. Others also are dumping the Koran, but without affiliating with another creed.

This war has been going on since A.D. 732 in the West, http://militaryhistory.about.com/cs/battlesandwars/p/battletours732.htm I do not look for it to end very soon or even, as Rumsfeld predicts, in 12 years.
