Cruz: Obama in 'Bizarre Doublespeak' on Radical Islam

President Barack Obama’s refusal to identify radical Muslims as the perpetrators of acts of jihad around the world, referring to them only as extremists with no mention of their religion, is some sort of "bizarre, politically correct doublespeak … simply not befitting a commander in chief," Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Wednesday on Fox News' "The Kelly File."

It’s stupefying, according to Cruz, that the White House could hold a summit on violent extremism without identifying that it’s Islamists we are fighting.

"It is targeted at Christians, it is targeted Jews, it’s targeted Muslims in the region who do not accede to the radical Islamist view, and unfortunately the president and this administration dogmatically refuses to utter the words radical Islamic terrorism," he said.
