This nation is great because not one peculiar exclusive religion rules the government, although many religionists and politicians try to make it an absolutist government that "trusts in God" instead of law and order. Radical evangelical Ted preaches that the United States is ruled by his religion. But ISIS like the bigoted KKK, targets for terrorism the people in this country since many call America Christian.
And this is the crux of the scathing problem of Cruz's religious title acting like a magnets in provoking revengeful violence that makes us all less safe. Centuries of three mainstream Semitic law-religions have been killing one another and others for eons Yet political extremist candidates still try to get the nose of the camel into the flap of the government until it's in like Flynn.
Now Cruz is campaigning for U.S. Muslim neighborhoods to be monitored and controlled but not Christian or Jew neighborhoods. Even though America is no longer included in the circle of endless fire, Jihadists want to terrorize us because of dangerous candidates like Cruz. This is just one more notch in his belt of hatred and misunderstanding. It's overtime to realize that America is no longer one of the three related branches of the same persuasion, and they all can't be the only true one. The Treaty of Tripoli (1797) in Libya proves this peace treaty still stands in a land once called the mixing pot, although its cultures survive especially at international food festivals and in restaurants.
The three Semitic religions of the perpetual blood feud can't all be the only true, legitimate one. When will America ever admit what causes deadly rival terrorism?
