Loading ...Hours after a truck ran down and killed at least 80 people and injured scores more in Nice, Newt Gingrich called for a Muslim test.
In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Gingrich said that every person “who is of a Muslim background” in America should face a test.
“We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported,” he told host Sean Hannity. “Sharia is incompatible with western civilization. Modern Muslims, who have given up Sharia — glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door.”
Further, the act of visiting a website that favors ISIS or al Qaeda should be a felony, Gingrich declared.
“We are behaving as though we are insane,” he railed. “We’re like sheep wondering why the wolves keep killing us.”
He also called for mosques to be monitored for signs of jihadists. “Let me be very clear. You have to monitor the mosques,” Gingrich said. “I mean if you’re not prepared to monitor the mosques, this whole thing is a joke. Where do you think the primary source of recruitment is? Where do you think the primary place of indoctrination is?”
And Gingrich also suggested that not only should every “internet-based source of terrorism” be shut down. If that’s not possible, he called for more drastic action.
“We should destroy them with kinetic power, using various weapons starting with predators and frankly just killing them,” he said.
