'Muslims are our partners': Paul Ryan wallops Trump a day after terror speech...

UK Daily Mail ^ | June 14, 2016 | David Martosko

[Pinkbell]

House Speaker Paul Ryan drove another wedge between himself and Donald Trump on Tuesday with a stinging rebuke of his party's presumptive presidential nominee's proposed pause on non-citizen Muslim immigration – saying 'Muslims are our partners' in the war on terror.

'I do not think a Muslim ban is in our country's interest,' Ryan said during a press conference at the Republican National Committee's Capitol Hill headquarters.

'I do not think it is reflective of our principles – not just as a party, but as a country,' he said. 'And I think the smarter way to go in all respects is to have a security test, not a religious test.'

Ryan's comments came just a day after Trump seemed to walk back his December 2015 notion of a religious test for entry into the U.S. until homeland security officials can get a handle on the potential for terrorist infiltration.

Instead he shifted to the idea of nation-specific immigration limits tied to terrorism incidents.

'The immigration laws of the United States give the president powers to suspend entry into the country of any class of persons,' Trump said during a speech in Manchester, New Hampshire, saying such judgments are 'to be determined by the president for the interests of the United States. And it’s as he or she deems appropriate.'

'I will use this power to protect the American people,' he continued. 'When I’m elected I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats.'

Ryan's tone emphasized the cooperation the U.S. receives from more moderate Muslim governments around the world.

'This is a war with radical Islam. It is not a war with Islam,' the speaker said.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryan was Hillary’s VP choice.

For anyone keeping score:
 

People killed by radical Muslims on 9/11:	2,996
Muslim-Americans killed "in revenge":	1

Thankfully, an American jury sentenced Mark Stroman to death.  The same cannot be said of many Muslim terrorists, including Palestinian mass murderers who who kill children.  They are not only celebrated in some circles, but have even been invited to perform the Haj at Mecca - without a peep of protest from Muslim groups or individuals.

The overwhelming obsession with "Islamophobia" is not supported by a body count.  That may sound crass, but since 9/11, an additional 139 Americans have been killed in 48 separate acts of deadly Islamic terror or Islam-related honor killing in the United States.  Hundreds of mass murder plots have been thwarted or botched.  The real story is not "Islamophobia" but American tolerance - which rightly refuses to punish the individual based on group identity.

As the Muslim population increases in the United States, so too will the number of Islamic terror attacks.  This is because the pool from which the radicals recruit grows bigger.  Studies show that between 5 - 25% of Muslims in America believe that violence in defense of Islam is justified.  The number of potential terrorists therefore grows proportionately with the overall number, even if only a small minority actually plot terror.

Immigrants to America have killed and have plotted to kill.  However, the real threat comes from successive generations of Muslims living in the West, which have proven to be more radical and more dangerous than their parents.  Muslim immigration thus means that more Americans will eventually die.  The benefits that offset this reality are not entirely clear.

For anyone wondering about the history of deadly Islamic terror on American soil since 1972, here’s what we came up with:

"Does Ryan want Trump to lose?"

Ryan is either stupid--not really likely! Or one of the most cowardly politicians ever to serve as Speaker of the House--one quite possible interpretation! Or a totally indoctrinated internationalist, who wants to see Americans lose their independence to some form of humanist/collective world order--another quite possible interpretation from his actions! Or that is precisely what he wants!

His waffling on endorsement; his virtually daily expression of new doubts--thus keeping negatives against Trump on the front news burner, in a way the Democrats cannot, without looking to be simply slinging mud; and his endless pretensions of moral hand-wringing in the process by a false narrative; all suggest that he is deliberately trying to sabotage Trump & America, itself.

One can only guess at the underlying reason. But we need to focus a spotlight on this nonsense until he either desists or resigns. The speed with which the Administration is pushing their overt betrayal of our heritage, leaves no time to waste.

[Electric Graffiti]

They were spot on about Newt too. From your link:

Newt Gingrich said he [Norquist] was the smartest. And sadly (WATCH THIS GUY, TRUMP!) Newt is usually right there with them with full support for amnesty, and BAD trade.

[who knows what evil?]

No wonder Romney picked this bozo for VP...

[LS]

Ryan’s position “isn’t who we are.” We are Americans.

[combat_boots]

“Ryan is a damn fool!”

Ryan plays for the other side. He throws the game.

[BatGuano]

Nice picture but the sword will eventually fall on Ryan. His head will bounce, the beard will be soiled and the Muslim who beheaded him will be snarling, “All Hah Snackbar!”

What a DORK he turned out to be.

[TangibleDisgust]

what is it with these GOP’ers. they go to Washington with good intentions and within a matter of months, those all take a backseat to being liked by the left and the driveby media.

i’m beginning to think that the amount of corruption and money being handed around under the table there is MUCH greater than we realize. either that, or those post-office lobbyists jobs pay awfully well.

the tree of liberty needs watering.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Why is it that whenever muslims commit some barbarity, western politicians go into the defense lawyer mode and say nice things about muslims? Why not let the muslim clerics defend their religion or, if it is not defensible, change it? PC western politicians are under the influence of some kind of mental illness, and Ryan has it bad.

[Ken H]

It’s going to be near impossible for Trump to overcome this onslaught not just from the Media and the ‘Rats, but the Republican Party too.

Have you been asleep for the last year?

[Paine in the Neck]

Just because the Saudis have you bought and paid for, Ryan, doesn't make them our partners.

Ditch the GOPe's pathetic princeling, Paul Ryan.



There is an alternative.

Make it Happen!

Vote Paul Nehlen August 9

[GOPJ]

Ryan must like being invited to the A-list parties... and having the press treat him with respect. All he has to do is pile the hate on Trump.

Seems easy enough..

Well, until Trump's gone... then his value to democrats and their boys in the press will largely disappear. He'll be treated like McCain in the waning days of his influence - where the press would only 'fawn a little' - while getting a ‘hit quote’ on some fellow Republican.

Don't walk down this path Paul Ryan...

[EDINVA]

I understand why they had to shift to countries vs religion. BUT the shoe bomber was French. French Muslim, but not from the Middle East, so the exclusion only by cuontry is not going to do what needs to be done

[ncalburt]

I am making my Second donation tonight .

Enough

Ryan needs to be remove or recalled .

Pure treason from this crony capitalism / Sauidi call boy

[goldstategop]

Paul Ryan apparently thinks Khalid Muhammed, the Amarillo Islamic terrorist, is a partner.

If he says so!

I’d like the scum to be Cantorized by his district’s voters.

[Jack Hammer]

Stockholm Syndrome has taken over the United States, and it would seem there are countless millions of people whose only response to this and other outrages is simply to crawl on their bellies while spewing apologetic pabulum into the unlistening air.

[Cobra64]

It would not bother me if he got his just desserts from “his people.”

[Tench_Coxe]

Ryan, like Boehner and McConnell, is acting like someone who is compromised.

[Fungi]

I hope so! Lyin’ Ryan must be Cantorized. Go Nehlen!!!
