A few miles from Disneyland is a place most tourists never see. The signs along the thoroughfare suddenly switch to Arabic script advertising hookah shops, Middle Eastern sweets and halal meat.

"Brussels has done one thing: It's made the Muslim community stand on its heel. Even innocent Muslims now feel, 'I need to fight back,'" said Najaf, an Iraqi native who came to the U.S. when he was 9.

"Nobody," he added, "wants to be on the fence anymore."

Fight back against who? We Americans wanted to fight back after 911, Ft. Hood, Boston, San Bernardino.

I’m a Christian and I don’t appreciate the Ted Cruz campaign wanting to police my neighborhood for Christian “radicalization”.

I have a better idea. Let’s just ban the muslims from coming here.

[TribalPrincess2U]

They have an answer for everything. Worse then democrats.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I like that!

It’s the day after the attacks. Everything is about the poor oppressed Muslims. There is a massive propaganda war underway to make us ignore our own safety. In 24 hours we have become the problem.

[disndat]

There is no such thing as a moderate moslem.

This is a perfect illustration.

[Williams]

Brussels was an attack on America. It can only help republicans so they are completely changing the narrative.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Trump is right.

I used to live 2 miles from the area in Anaheim he is eluding to. imho, most Trop supports the nihadists. in years past, they would hold the most vile Hitler loving demonstrations. They are engaged in Al Taqqiya; deception..

I think he means us. imagine the ####ing nerve.

can’t wait to see the hundreds of thousands of dumb white college ####s that will march with them only to be owned, raped and killed by them one day.

Forgive my poor typing. I was really POed..

[DoughtyOne]

This goes well beyond Trump, Cruz, and other players.

The media is going full tilt to incorporate Islamic characters into popular media content, to lull folks into thinking this isn’t really a threat.

I don’t know if every Islamic person on our soil wants Sharia law, but if they do, that is a tenet of conquering our nation block by block.

Not no, but hell no!

Our two societies may very well not be compatible even for the “peaceful” ones.

[Logical me]

If Muslims don't like it then try being a responsible citizen and hand over the radicals in your little world.

Good, get off the fence. Declare what you really are - what we all already know you are.

A lying, hate-filled, murderous bastard from hell.

[struggle]

If you would surveil your own community, we wouldn't need to.

[Theo]

You are so consistently anti-Cruz, newby.

You’re a Christian?

[20yearsofinternet]

Every time you post, I smile.

It gives me hope that everyone might come around in the end and help MAGA and kick the leftists in the ass in November.

Defiance of the issue is an admittance to collusion.

[Phinneous]

Cruz is just concerned about the rapid growth of radicalized new-immigrant concentrations... like Trumpsters on FR.

YEP!
