This is one very excellent reason (among many) why Marco Rubio (aka Jeb 2.0) should not be our nominee. The fact is that the Islamic doctrine of jihad (holy war) is very much the problem.
And as for his asinine response on the gun-range -- here is the back story on that: Muslim Who Is Suing Gun Range Demanded CAIR Float for Veteran's Day Parade.
In his response, he shows an astonishing ignorance that is unforgivable considering the danger jihad presents and the human toll it has taken
"Marco Rubio: It Is 'Wrong' And 'Immoral' To Ban Muslim-Americans From Gun Ranges," by Charlie Spiering, Breitbart, 25 Feb 2016:
Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) condemned a recreational gun range that banned Muslims from their facility, during a presidential forum with Fox News host Megyn Kelly.
One member of the audience asked Rubio about the incident, where a Muslim-American army reservist was denied access to the facility in Oklahoma, and asked for his reaction to the incident.
"The story you just told me is wrong. It's immoral. We should not be doing that to people," Rubio said. "The bottom line is there are millions of patriotic Muslim Americans."
A lawsuit against the gun range was filed by 29-year-old Raja'ee Fatihah, a board member of the Oklahoma chapter of the Muslim Council on American-Islamic Relations. The gun range owner argues that Fatihah was denied service because he was "belligerent" and that the "Muslim free" signage in his business was protected by free speech.
Rubio told the audience that patriotic Muslims had died defending the country in the Armed forces, separating them from the dangerous radical Islamists that were threatening America.
"Our issue is not with patriotic Muslim Americans. It's not even with Islam. It is with radical jihadis. It with radical Islam, which is a politicization and a radical ideology that threatens Islam," he said.
Rubio cited ISIS as a threat to not only Americans, but to Muslims who refused to practice their radical form of the religion.
Also incorrect. ISIS kills no-Sunni and secular Muslims because they are considered heretics all in accordance with Islamic law.
"I think we are capable of recognizing the threat of radical Islam without having to demonize an entire religion, especially those Americans here that are so loyal to America."
My IQ is obviously way higher than yours. I back a consistent conservative with a 97% conservative/pro-liberty voting record, whereas you are willing to stake the presidency on a corrupt, life-long leftist and corporate socialist just because he has decided to make some conservative sounding noises in the last six months.
That’s why Trump is leading. He makes no bones that the issue is with Islam.
"My fellow Americans. Once again, the alleged religion of peace known as Islam has lashed out at the world. Thousands of our people have perished in these attacks across the nation. This can no longer be tolerated. And Islam can no longer be tolerated. Earlier this evening I signed orders, and I will take responsibility for what now must be done. For sixteen hundred years Islam has been a plague upon human history. As of a few minutes ago that plague is about to be eradicated. A limited nuclear strike has just been ordered against the city of Mecca..."

And this is why guys like him do not stand a prayer.
Guys like Trump, Christie, Giuliani, those that smelled the ashes of the WTC and thousands of others remember vividly.
I totally agree .. and to say it’s not “Islam” proves he’s in the tank for the GOPe .. he’s not for America.
Anybody who votes for this guy doesn’t have a clue what he’s really like.
Serious question. How will you feel about Cruz if he endorses Rubio?
Rubio is an empty suit who speaks English like Cubans speak spanish

Preach it bro ;-)
AP Fact Check
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is displaying a spotty memory about his past views on foreign policy.
Just as he claimed to have loudly opposed the Iraq invasion before it happened, which he didn’t, Trump claimed in the latest Republican presidential debate that he never called for U.S. intervention in Libya, which he did.
Some claims made in the Thursday’s debate and how they stack up against the facts:
TED CRUZ: Trump “agreed with the Obama-Clinton policy of toppling the government in Libya. That was a disaster. It gave the country over to radical Islamic terrorism and it endangered America.”
TRUMP: “He said I was in favor of Libya? I never discussed that subject. I was in favor of Libya? We would be so much better off if Gadhafi were in charge right now.”
THE FACTS: He actually argued on numerous occasions, and fervently so, that the U.S. should intervene to stop a humanitarian disaster in Libya. He said the U.S. would have a “major black eye” if it didn’t take out Moammar Gadhafi, the autocratic leader.
In a February 2011 video captured on BuzzFeed not long before the U.S. and NATO stepped in, he said, “Gadhafi in Libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is.
“And we’re sitting around, we have soldiers all over the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage. And that’s what it is. ... We should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick, we could do it surgically. ... This is absolutely nuts, we don’t want to get involved.”
True to his business principles, Trump proposed sending Libya’s successor government a bill for the U.S. intervention: “From your oil, we want reimbursement.”
“My IQ is obviously way higher than yours. “
OK, I am not disagreeing that your are smarter, but what was your score?
Muslims who don't practice the religion as Allah and Muhammed want, and ISIS , Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, the Wahabbis, CAIR, and the Muslim Brotherhood practice it, are heretics and Apostates, and as Muhammed would say Hypocrites.
Those so-called Muslims are no better than us Kafirs and are subject to the same fate as us.
Worse, some of the so-called Muslims aide and abet us Infidels and are more hated by the fundamental Muslims, and that is why so many of those traitors are killed.
Nobody likes traitors. - Tom
He’s also called for a complete ban on Muslim entry into the country. Sure it’s the opposite of what he’s said in the past but what else is new?
Sorry Marco but actually I’m coming to the realization that Islam is the problem. Sure there may be some Muslims somewhere that are ok. But really, virtually all Muslims directly or tacitly support the hatred and violence. Islam is a “religion” that is based in conquest and killing. Always has been, always will be. There can never really be peaceful coexistence with it. The followers are just too prone to sliding down into darkness and beliefs and practices that the rest of us find absolutely abhorrent and savage.
Soon both will be out of work
I don't see Texas reelecting Cruz
Ms. Geller confuses “ignorance” with willing complicity.
As she said, Rubio is Jeb 2.0 - more specifically the CIA & Deep State, the very ones foisting the Satanic Cult of Death upon the country formerly known as America.
The entire Bush family is a dynasty CIA family. America soundly rejected them. Rubio looks to fill that gap.
Seems then he agrees with the mass slaughter of men, women and children; sometimes in the most horrific manner possible.
