US Politician threatens Muslim holy sites, angers Muslims

Where was this idiot politician's handler when he said this? (from Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. congressman who suggested the United States might consider bombing Muslim holy sites, including Mecca, has drawn apology demands from U.S. Muslim and Arab groups but rejected a request to meet with one leading organization.

Rep. Tom Tancredo made the comment on July 14 in answer to a radio host's question about a possible response to any hypothetical nuclear terrorist attack on the United States.

"If this happens in the United States and we determine that it is the result of extremist fundamentalist Muslims, you could take out their holy sites," the Colorado Republican said.

Wouldn't it make more sense to take out military targets?

I know this guy meant well with what he said, but this is the kind of statement that could incite actions against the US and her citizens abroad.

Anyway, I'd rather support a proactive war on terror than sit by and plan for retaliation for the next atacks on US soil.
