U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo is doing more than just sabre-rattling these days:
A Republican congressman said in a radio interview aired by a Florida station that if a multiple-city attack happened in the United States in the next 90 days, as predicted by an Israeli expert, and was found to be the work of extremist Muslims, then “we should take out their holy sites.”
Now does that mean Muslims will have justification to take out Rome in the event of the bombing of Iran or Syria? Nazareth? Bethlehem? Jerusalem?
Here’s the problem when you treat terrorists as religious believers, and the #1 problem I have with treating the symptoms of terrorism as if Islam were the root cause. It’s not.
