Where Was Ted Cruz Radicalized?

Pot? Meet kettle.

When GOP presidential candidate, Ted Cruz stated, “We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized,” I chuckled.

I mean it’s no laughing matter to stigmatize and ostracize an entire community based on their religious affiliation — but I find it funny. The Muslim community has already been monitored for years. It’s something we joke about inside the mosque. We joke that those watching us will decide to convert to Islam or that they are simply bored watching us. But not only that — it’s the hypocrisy. If Muslim Americans are “radical” then what is Ted Cruz? The fuzzy Easter Bunny?

Let’s take a look at the two Muslim Congressmen, Keith Ellison and André Carson. Both support LGBT rights, the right to choose and causes that protect basic human rights. As a Muslim, this is right in line with my beliefs. Contrary to Islamophobic drivel: as a Muslim, we must adhere to the law of the land in which we live. We share this land with people of all walks of life. My religious freedom is important — and the freedom of others to not practice religion, practice a different religion or live out their beliefs (as long as they do not harm others) is equally important....

He’s a lying taqiyya artist, doing what they do.

LOL! She uses the example of 2 Muslim politicians supporting LGBT rights to show how the entire Muslim community is tolerant! As if the 2 in question, or any other, would have won the Democrat nomination without being supporters of LGBT rights!

Ted is a little fuzz ball of innocents compared to the Kenyan, Commie/Muslim Rock Sucker.

Muslims should not be permitted to exist in non-Muslim countries, simple as that.

Want to come here? Reject the creed that says your destiny is to conquer, convert, or kill us. It’s a very reasonable - and only sensible - position for us to have.

Ted Cruz does not belong to a religion that advocates killing and raping other people.

Yeah, I’m saying “monitoring” is insufficient.

If our government was doing its duty on national security it would not be allowing any moslem in at all, just like it didn’t allow in Nazis or Communists.

Mohammadeanism as a creed is worse than either Nazism or Communism. Just look at what they did to India - they’ll do that again the moment they get the chance. It’s suicidal to give them the chance.

(Oh and hai NSA I’m already on your list I’m sure. Can’t have those independent critical thinkers going around untracked...)

Hilariously funny and tragic. Being a firm believer in the Constitution of the United States of America qualifies one as a “radical”. Nuts.

I don't think Allah or Muhammad would agree with this heretics view on religion. -Tom

Ted Cruz is radicalized?

Only in the fevered minds of left wing loonies.

Maybe they’re temporary alliances and the two Muslim congressman will kill them when the time comes.

Thus the problem using a euphemism like "radicalized" to describe jihadists.

Believing "radically" in a religion that was made up by a despicable illiterate barbarian to justify his conquest pillage rape and murder is not the same as believing "radically" in a religion that tells us to focus on our own hearts and our own sins and accepting that we need God's grace to be made right with Him and thus not hold ourselves above anyone else, but to pray for and love and wish for the good of even our enemies.

Ouch! Hit ‘em again!

Cruz claims conservative principles but then votes otherwise.

I see Islam like the Muslim Mafia these days.

“Now look, here’s how it is. Now I’m a moderate Muslim, see, and I’m pretty easy to get along with. But my cousin Mohammed over there, he’s crazy as they come, and you don’t want to upset him. And when you say things that are bat about Islam, it really upsets him, and when he’s upset...”

That’s EXACTLY how they operate: Good Muslims, Bad Muslims.

Here’s a scary thought: Toss in the 5 million Indian population, primarily Hindu, then watch the muzzie go nuts and then watch the Hindus join in. That’d be over 10 million savages going freaky and making demands.

The Hindus will nuke Mecca, that’s a difference right there.

Talk of being "radicalized" misses the point. All the so-called "radicals" are doing is taking the Koran seriously. There is no other "religion" that demands of its followers that they make war on the whole world until all is Islam. The only thing that came close to that was Communism. And we haven't fully stamped that out yet.
