Muslims in America have no need to fear the fight against radical Islam, and the only reason some do is because Democrats are stoking fear, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tells Newsmax TV.
Cruz, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, told "The Hard Line" host Ed Berliner in an interview aired Wednesday that he would tell American Muslims that we need a president whose first obligation is to protect the American people and keep the country safe.
Democrats have "stoked up" fears among Muslims born and raised in the United States the Republicans are against them, Cruz said.
Following the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, President Barack Obama didn't give a national TV address expressing outrage at the terrorist, but rather said the biggest danger was Islamophobia, Cruz said.
"What utter nonsense," he said. "Look, there's nobody targeting innocent, peaceful Muslims in America. There are, however, radical Islamic terrorists both in the Middle East and here in America that are trying to murder innocent Americans, and by the way they're trying to murder Christians, they're trying to murder Jews, they're trying to murder Muslims."
Radical Islamists are willing to murder anyone who doesn't embrace "Islamism," which Cruz said is different from the Muslim faith.

Cruz is deluded.
ReplyDeleteIt is the SAME religion. The less "religious" an individual is, the more he leans toward agnostic or atheist, the less likely he is to want to murder others in the name of his deity - in this case, they call it "Allah". The more committed to his invisible friend, the less he is susceptible to reason and rational persuasion. Doesn't matter whether it's Allah or God, if they are true believers they hold the imaginary ideals above that of human life.
In the case of Islam, their theocratic society's s have so embraced the religion and ideology, that there is practically no chance they will ever value the most basic humanity over that written a thousand years ago by a sociopathic, probably schizophrenic megalomaniac.
If "peaceful Muslims" should be afraid, it's from the evil lurking within their mosques, not the nature reaction of the innocents their brethren so enthusiastically betray and slaughter.
Islamophobia, my @ss. That's just a made-up word. It doesn't exist.
Great, but that's one opinion.
