Muslim Neighborhoods and Refugees

[kalm]

Cruz has a solution and NYPD Chief Bratton and Mayor Deblasio don't like it one bit:

"If you have a neighborhood where there's a high level of gang activity, the way to prevent it is you increase the law enforcement presence there and you target the gang members to get them off the streets," the Texas senator told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "I'm talking about any area where there is a higher incidence of radical Islamic terrorism."

Earlier in the day Cruz said in a statement, "We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized," adding that the U.S. can no longer afford to "political correctness."

"For years, the West has tried to deny this enemy exists out of a combination of political correctness and fear. We can no longer afford either. Our European allies are now seeing what comes of a toxic mix of migrants who have been infiltrated by terrorists and isolated, radical Muslim neighborhoods," Cruz said in the statement.

"I would remind the senator that he lives in the United States of America, and the statements he made today is why he’s not gonna become the president of this country,” Bratton said during a joint press conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio. “We don’t need a president that doesn’t respect the values that form the foundation of this country."

DeBlasio pointed out that the NYPD has over 900 muslim police officers, many of whom pull double duty in the National Guard. Bratton added “They serve as active duty members of the U.S. Military in combat, something the senator has never seen.”

Burn!

Perhaps Kasich had the most reasonable response?

"We are not at war with Islam, we are at war with radical Islam," Kasich said during a news conference. "Just because you happen to be a Muslim does not mean you want to destroy someone in the West.... The last thing we need is more polarization because for those who want to preserve Islam in the west, we alienate them."

“I fear that we ain’t seen nothing yet. According to Europol 3,000 to 5,000 European jihadists, who went to Syria to fight in the ranks of IS and similar terrorist groups, have meanwhile returned to Western Europe. Some of them hid among the hundreds of thousands of Islamic asylum seekers that entered Europe from Asia and Africa.

“Two of last November’s terrorist in Paris had fought in Syria. So had the terrorist who, last August, attempted to attack the high speed train between Amsterdam and Paris. So had the two terrorists who, in January 2015, massacred the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo. So had the terrorist who, in May 2014, shot four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels”.

“This is amazing to me that these people can kill people abroad, come here, and then walk free in the centre of Brussels. Returned Syria fighters are a huge threat. They are dangerous predators roaming our streets. It is absolutely unbelievable that our governments allow them to return. And it is incredible that, once returned, they are not imprisoned.

“In the Netherlands, we have dozens of these returned jihadists. Our government allows most of them to freely walk our streets and refuses to lock them up. I demand that they be detained at once. Every government in the West, which refuses to do so, is a moral accessory if one of these monsters commits an atrocity."

If we know who they are they should be detained and given a day in court.

So the above facts being considered, the first step is to stop any asylum/refugees immediately. Let them go to other camel jockey countries. They'll assimilate better there. Then go after the radicals here.

That makes sense although if you're referring to your article, I'd be leery about the facts in it. "Dutch Party for Freedom" sounds suspicious.

Right. Then hang them publicly.

No. We're better than that.

No. We're not. Call it Ivytalk's "Red Queen (no homo) Theory of Justice": "Sentence first, trial after!"

Agree. I could see the same guy starting a campaign to rename brussel sprouts to freedom cabbages.

I'm no Cruz fan, but what am I missing here?

Agreed. It seems like a little bit of over-reaction theater by Deblasio and Bratton.

I thought by your "Burn!" comment you agreed with them.

"Red Bill" DeBlasio is a commsymp (remember Agnew?) race-baiter.

[kalm]

I don't think I do. It was just a good burn. Cruz is a douche of the highest order.

I also kind of agree with Trump on stopping immigration from certain countries for awhile...as a temporary precaution...remember...

POST-PARTISAN!!!!!

[89Hen]

It was just a good burn.

We'll have to disagree on that one.

If you experience increased drug or gang-related activity in a city, you generally increase patrols. I can't really determine the difference in having a higher police presence in areas where there is known unrest in Muslim areas of a city.

Of course, we're all about absolutely "not profiling" and protecting people's feewings even though they fit the demographic.

There's nothing worse than tough guy talk or for that matter pro business talk from dudes who are neither tough (and have served) nor have ever run a business.

So you're an Obama guy. No talk from a dude who is neither tough nor has ever run a business. Gotcha.

Bernie sure loves to talk tough about Big Business and Wall Street. Where does his lack of experience in either fall in this manner?

Being a democratic socialist, he's certainly open to that criticism. But I don't remember him bragging about how he's good for business other than perhaps saying he's supportive of domestic industry.

DeBlasio signs Bratton's paycheck, and even if he didn't, Bratton is a political police chief.

Cruz isn't wrong on this one.
