Jeb Bush: Only Christians should be allowed refugee status in response to

The candidate also worked also distinguish himself from the Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton by calling out what she said in the Democratic debate Saturday night.

“I don’t think we’re at war with Islam”. “That would be like saying we weren’t at war with Nazis because we were afraid to offend a few Germans who may have been members of the Nazi party but weren’t violent themselves”. “We need to have a resolve that will bring the world together to root out the kind of radical jihadist ideology that motivates organizations like ISIS – a barbaric, ruthless, violent, jihadist terrorist group”.

The Islamic State group (IS) claimed responsibility for the Friday attacks.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday, Bush said ISIS – which has taken credit for the attacks that killed more than 120 people in Paris – and al Qaeda, which struck the United States on September 11, 2001, are both examples of Islamic terrorism. He didn’t say all Muslims.

His desire to call for war could provoke comparisons to his brother, President George W. Bush, who sent troops to Iraq in what became a widely unpopular war against terrorism after the September 11 attacks on the U.S.

“But there is a global jihadist movement in the world motivated by their interpretation of Islam, in this case Sunni Islam, in the case of ISIS, and it needs to be confronted for what it is”, Mr. Rubio said, using an acronym for the Islamic State.

That drew a sharp disagreement from O’Malley. Clinton stressed that this can not be an American fight, although American leadership is essential.

Relatively hawkish Clinton, self-described democratic socialist Sanders and low-polling O’Malley took the stage in Des Moines, Iowa for their second Democratic showdown in the 2016 primary cycle.

Her poll numbers have risen steadily since mid September, to more than 54 percent today according to a RealClearPolitics average.

“I think this is the first manifestation of that effort and of that success and eventually they will try to build a similar attack capacity in the United States”, Michael Morell, a Central Intelligence Agency deputy director under Obama from 2010 to 2013, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation”. He said he doesn’t think “the term is what’s important”.

On the economic front, the candidates sparred – gently, compared with their Republican rivals who have already clashed in four on-stage debates – over how to increase wages and expand the work force.

The day after the terror attacks in Paris, Hillary Clinton refused to use the term “radical Islam”.

Sanders shot back with a blunt message – “Not good enough” – and essentially challenged Clinton to disavow much of her connections to Wall Street millionaires who back her campaign.
