I truly like Ted. But I wish he would stop calling it Radical islamic terrorism. It’s just islamic terrorism.
It is simply “Islam”.
Islam IS terror. Always has been.
Ted Cruz has gone further with this statement than any other U.S. politician.
I agree with you, and Ted probably does as well, but this is as far as the envelope goes. Of course we are yet to hear from Trump, who may do us all a service by calling Islam itself out for what it is, freedon of religion be damned. Let's hope so.
I like Cruz, too, but you are so right. He needs to change his terminology. That bugs me about everyone I hear who uses the term “radical” when referring to Muslims. Islam is Islam. If some Muslims seem peaceful, it just means they either don’t know what’s going on or they aren’t practicing...yet. The commands for everything the jihadis are doing is right there in the Koran, much of it demonstrated by Mohammad himself. He had a particular fondness for bloodbaths and severed heads.
I also don’t want to hear the word Allah translated to God by people on our side. Islam’s Allah and the Christian God are in no way the same. If someone is referring to Allah, then they need to say Allah. That is Islam’s deity, not Christianity’s. I see great danger in the insidious crossing of fundamental definitions. It plants the wrong impression in the minds of the uninformed.
Everyone needs some nit to pick in order to "keep their options open"...
I take comfort in the fact that he isn't backing off and going PC - saying they need to understand that attacking us and others should mean they have signed their own death warrant is a finishing touch.
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
