Sen. Ted Cruz blamed an "extreme strain of Islam" for Tuesday's terrorist attacks in Brussels, which saw at least 34 killed and 170 injured after two explosions hit the Belgian capital.
Cruz also argued in a statement that the attacks are not "isolated incidents." The two attacks took place outside of the Brussels airport and the Maelbeek metro station near the European Union less than a week after Salah Abdesalah, the terrorist behind the Paris attacks in November, was captured.

He’s wrong again -
conservative, this is Exhibit A against that conservative, this is Exhibit A against that claim.
“Extreme strain” = those who follow the words and deeds of Mohammed as written in the Koran and Hadith.
Spoken like a true Bush, Teddy.
Uh Sorry Ted, but there is no such thing as an "extreme" strain of Islam. There are only people who follow their religion exactly, and there are those who don't.
Does Ted Cruz have a magic formula that militarized police can use to identify this “extreme strain” while they’re patrolling and securing the streets of America?
Correct, doing what they do for 1400 years.
Trump is right on the number one issue.
And everybody else dances around it.
Christianity runs the gamut from the hard-core Fundamentalists and Dominionists at one end, to the Calvinists to the Arminians, and ending up with the backsliding Episcopals and UCC at the other end.
If one of them bombed an airport in the name of Christ, ALL of us would be painted with the broad brush of blame and “journalists” would insist that each denomination publicly disown that group and give up any strong believers in their midst.
Islam is Islam. There are fundies and there are backsliders.
The moron. He will be another Bush. Being buddies with Saudis while claiming he is fighting extreme islam, and is too uneducated to even see the irony.
I take it by your juvenile personal attack that you disagree with me. I take it by your complete lack of an actual rebuttal that you don't have anything other than personal attacks to give. Lemme guess, you're a Soros employee. Gee, that was hard to figure out.
Wow, that Cruz sure is a rebel. A renegade. Anti-establishment to the core.
Would have been.
He sabotaged the only chance at the presidency he could have had.
Cruz pushed for doubling of immigrants, including Muslims, to 1.67M PER YEAR
Wow! They’re not isolated “incidents”! I’m so glad Cruz pointed that out.
Sorry Ted, only one strain exists
Did he and Beck hand out “Teddy” bears instead of some kind of Mexican toy because they were trying to send a secret signal to the Mexicans?
Walking back Islam...
How very Ted of him.
Like cancer and aggressive cancer?
It’s just a matter of when it’s gonna kill ya.
The “extreme strain of Islam” are those Muslims who do not support the Islamic war with the West. These “extremists” are subject to also being murdered by true and dedicated Muslims.
