Newt Gingrich said Thursday night in the aftermath of the deadly truck attack in France that the US should issue a religious test to Muslims and deport those who are found to believe in Shariah, or Islamic law.
The former House speaker made his comments on Fox News when host Sean Hannity asked, "What does this tragedy, this evil attack tonight, mean for that conflict and debate?"
"Western civilization is in a war," Gingrich said. "We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Shariah, they should be deported. Shariah is incompatible with Western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up Shariah, glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door."
He added: "Anybody who goes on a website favoring ISIS, or Al Qaeda, or other terrorist groups, that should be a felony, and they should go to jail. Any organization which hosts such a website should be engaged in a felony. It should be closed down immediately."
The First Amendment to the US Constitution protects against "an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Gingrich, who was thought to be one of Donald Trump's top picks for vice president, said he was "sick and tired of being told that the wealthiest, most powerful civilization in history, all of Western civilization, is helpless in the face of a group of medieval barbarians."

Yeah that will take care of it...
Sorry Newt but that is a pablum approach.
Isa deport a nice way of saying execute?
That would be a good start.
Test citizens for their beliefs and punish them if they don’t think the right things?
So, how accurate are lie detector tests, anyway?
At least........
..........deport THEIR HEADS!
Sometimes...yes.
I guess you would have supported Nazis here during WW2???
He just disqualified himself from VP (and POTUS, ever).
Any chance this was the cause for the delay in Trump announcing his VP?
I see nothing wrong with questioning anyone coming here if they will support and defend the Constitution and abide by our laws. Since Islam is a clear and present danger, the adherents of Islam should and must be asked that question.
And you want to give Hillary that power?
Test non-citizen invaders would be A-OK.
You know? When I was inducted in 1968, I had to make a pledge of loyalty to this country. IIRC it even used the word “God”....
When my wife got naturalized back in the 70s she had to pass an insane amount of “testing”. I had to provide an affidavit I wouldn’t let her become a ‘burden’.
My FRiend, there is a huge, huge difference between ‘thinking’ and ‘insanity’.
Not at all. It’s not an idea that fits into a 20-second soundbite, but overall it’s spot on.
The key is to videotape their oath to uphold the Constitution as the supreme law of the USA above Sharia law or any other foreign laws. That is actually in the Constitution. Videotape it, and post it on the internet.
Muslims who are willing to literally apostatize on videotape, for the record, are the only ones who should be allowed to live in the USA.
Sure, some will lie, but this will weed out most of the bad actors, who will refuse to be videotaped making an oath of apostasy against Islam.
WE ARE AT WAR!
Didn’t you pledge loyalty to the constitution?
....bout a week late there SPARKY
Sharia Law is an integral and inseparable part of the Koran. All muslims believe in Sharia, Newt. Never-the-less, you have a great idea.
Say goodbye, muslims.
Newt, HEY NEWT...they lie. They can lie for Allah. There isn;t a safe middle ground that has been discovered yet. THEY want to destroy the West, the INFIDELS¡ YOU. That;s their goal.
