Ohio Gov. John Kasich rebuked Sen. Ted Cruz's call to "patrol and secure" Muslim neighborhoods in the wake of the deadly explosions in Brussels on Tuesday.
"We are not at war with Islam--we're at war with radical Islam," Kasich told reporters in Minneapolis, according to the New York Times. "In our country we don't want to create divisions where we say, 'OK, well your religion, you're a Muslim, so therefore we're going to keep an eye on you."
He added, "The last thing we need is more polarization."
ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the attacks, which have killed at least 30 people.
Kasich's remarks stand out against those of his other Republican primary opponent, Donald Trump. In response to the attacks on Tuesday, Trump announced his support for employing torture tactics against terror suspects for intelligence-gathering purposes, despite considerable evidence that such methods fail to produce useful information.
"If they could expand the law, I would do a lot more than waterboarding," Trump said on the Today Show. "You have to get the information from these people."
Terrorism expert Malcolm Nance slammed Trump for the comments, describing them as fodder for terrorist recruitment efforts.
Kasich will gone after tonight.
we’re not at war with Germany or Japan!!!
we’re at war with Extremist Germans and Japanese!!
now please separate yourselves so we can attack.
and we want the names of EVERY SINGLE pilot who attacked pearl harbor. Prison, at least 10 years each.
And John Kasich can officially bite My Ass!
“Terrorism expert Malcolm Nance slammed Trump for the comments, describing them as fodder for terrorist recruitment efforts.”
Yeah I’m sure we will trick the terrorists into being nice because we don’t say anything about them. Some expert.
The TRUTH is that Hillary criticized Trump because all she wants is Muslim votes at any price - even our lives.
He’s already gone. No way he can get to 1237
FU ka-sick, with rusty barb wire.
Doesn’t stop the GOPe from making him the candidate at the convention.
While I hate the idea of big government “Fortress America”, I hate the idea of giving ISIS invaders a hug and a “warm kiss” infinitely more revolting.
yeah and you should have heard him at the AIPAC yesterday
all serious about protecting them and kissy to the Jews...
can we call this treasonous behavior ???
snakey jerk...
Or the right country?
Kasich could win many delegate in PA NJ and NY.
Circular firing squad.
He's Governor of OH. What is his plan if all *ell breaks loose in Cleveland because of these plans?
no but he can muck up Trump’s chances..
Trumps going to need a truck load going into the Convention to cover the turn coats.....
Funny how the Left has no problem watching and killing people like David Koresh and the likes of Christian Identity believers...
If he can identify the differences before they go boom and kill innocents it sure would be swell if he could share that information with all of us.
Want four more years of Obama, VOTE FOR K-SICK.
Yes its usually not those women who get raped by the islamic “refugees”
However there was that welcoming party a few months ago where the islamics felt up the stupid European women who were standing in the crowd or giving out food etc
The ijits were shocked to find their wonderful Islamic guests wouldn’t act like gentlemen...
