Hispanic, Islamic groups want Tancredo to quit Colo. representive's idea to bomb Islamic holy sites deemed unacceptable July 25, 2005 msnbc.msn.com DENVER - Hispanic and Islamic groups called on Rep. Tom Tancredo to resign Monday, saying he has embarrassed Colorado by suggesting bombing Islamic holy sites if terrorists launch a nuclear attack on the U.S. They also criticized the GOP congressman’s staunch advocacy of tougher immigration controls. “Enough is enough. We’re here to say ‘Stop,”’ Hispanic activist Manolo Gonzalez-Estay told a crowd of about 200 at the state Capitol. Abdur-Rahim Ali, imam of a Muslim shrine in Denver, said Tancredo’s statement that “you could take out” Islamic holy sites in a retaliatory attack was unacceptable. “What would happen if a prominent Muslim made that statement about Catholic holy places like the Vatican?,” Ali asked. Tancredo was traveling and unavailable for comment. His spokesman, Will Adams, said the four-term congressman has no intention of apologizing or resigning. “They are a lot more upset about what he stands for, our nation’s security and border policy, than anything else,” Adams said.
