Ted Cruz: ‘I do not agree’ with Trump’s Muslim moratorium
WashTimes ^ | 12/8/15 | Seth McLaughlin -

Posted on 12/08/2015 8:56:22 AM PST by VinL

GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz said Tuesday that he disagrees with rival Donald J. Trump's plan to ban Muslims from coming into the United States until the federal government can ensure that those coming into the nation do not pose a threat to the country.

"I do not agree with his proposal," the Texas senator said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. “I do not think it is the right solution.”

Mr. Cruz said that some have encouraged him to criticize Mr. Trump, but said he will not to so. Instead, he said he is pushing solutions aimed at putting a three year moratorium on refugees from Syria and Iraq, and giving governors more power to stop refugees from being resettled in their states.

Mr. Trump has tangled with most of the candidates in the GOP field ..with the exception of Mr. Cruz .. though he warned at a rally in South Carolina that he will respond in kind if Mr. Cruz attacks him.

I heard a REALLY interesting analysis of why we’re not getting more Christian refugees on a Christian radio show the other day. Apparently the refugees are being redirected to the U.S. and elsewhere by the U.N. out of U.N. refugee camps. The Christians cannot even go to the camps because they aren’t safe for them. The Muslims in the camps threaten them. So unless Obama makes a special effort to get Christians without the help of the U.N., they won’t generally be included.

Might not fear God in the way you do (or say you do) but the bible says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and Trump has some pretty wise ideas. God manifests in many ways to many people. The bible says the entire creation witnesses to Him. This looks a lot like a path that a future open believer would be on.

I.e. it looks like something good may be going on beneath the hood of the Trumpmobile.

“It’s only a matter of time before every Muslim goes full jihad right?”

It’s a fact that you can’t tell which ones will and which ones are content to live Western lives.

And they ALL practice taqiyya.

And Murana.

And unless you convert, you’re kaffir and worthy of death.

They just haven’t killed you yet.

They’re either lazy muslims or biding their time.

I’m sure Farook’s coworkers thought he was a nice, if a bit religious, guy too.

My religious background isn’t one that tells me to kill anyone who isn’t of that same religious background.

My Lord, you Trumpbots are just salivating to find anything to fling against Cruz. Here's a question for you and for Trump: How do you determine who is a Muslim and who is not??? Make them check a box? Swear an oath??? Ever hear of taqiyya? If Muslim terrorists wants to enter this country, they will lie, cheat steal, DO ANYTHING to get here! And I want to hear an answer NOW, not a typical Trump, "we'll put our best people on it" line of B.S. I do agree that Cruz needs expand his list of nations.

I think those who would give Trump advice should be able to do it better themselves.

The ones that are actually Muslim in the sense of buying into the supernatural author of that wicked book.

Well fine, but can you furnish us with a positive statement. Jesus never let anyone into heaven on a “well, I am not a pagan.”

The simple fact remains, you can’t tell which ones are giving that book lipservice and which ones really believe they need to kill you to get to heaven.

It’s like deciding which round is live or not by playing Russian roulette.

Sooner or later...

Oh I do know the anger... it’s here too. The attack awakened some up that were asleep. I want everyone to know this is here and it’s real.. they have waged war against Christians, America, Israel and anywhere these choice picks exist. Those who don’t realize this, are the ones who need to be shaken to their core.. What makes me the angriest is the president who agrees with the enemy.. and congress who agrees with the president.. and the media who protects the president and the enemy.

How do you do something you know can’t be done perfectly but is crying out to be done?

You do it IMPERFECTLY?

Ever heard of, say, Syrian Christians? They recognize this kind of B.S. in their souls. There are good, if not perfect, ways to get screening on that satanic lying finds it difficult to get by.

Therefore your statement is just a statement of pride about yourself. It does not acknowledge Jesus’ own power to screen.

You want to fight all those who adhere to Islam?

Islam has 1.6 billion adherents, making up over 22% of the world population. According to another study in 2015 Islam has 1.7 billion adherents.

we better produce more bullets

Islam will have to change Islam ( If it can).....the best we can do is put pressure on islamists to change and kill jihadists

Who is this “you”? A spiritually lazy soul like you? Or one who has had to battle that demon daily?

Shalom.

Cruz is notorious for his history of being on the wrong side of immigration issues. As a nation, we are committing suicide by letting this continue. We need a full stop and regrouping to focus on those already here.

Ask yourself if Israel should grant all ‘Palestinians’ in other countries the right to emigrate to Israel. A nation should have its own borders and not be reprimanded for securing them by any method. We aren’t an unkind nation. We give billions in foreign aid and established trade to help people in their own countries already.

The notion we must have unlimited, unchecked, and rampant immigration is the path to national suicide.

Whatever? Is this all you can give us? You make such confident statements and are reduced to a whatever now?

Spiritual wars have spiritual solutions.
