Rubio's comments about Muslims are almost as frightening as Trump's

What Rubio said at the dabate was even worse.

On Saturday, at the latest GOP debate, ABC moderator Martha Raddatz asked Rubio why he had a problem with Obama's mosque visit. Rubio responded, "My problem with what he did is, he continues to put out this fiction that there's widespread discrimination against Muslim Americans."

Rubio then cited the graves of Muslim servicemembers at Arlington Cementary to say that American Muslims are part of this country, but that, "By the same token, we face a very significant threat of home grown violent extremism." For this reason, Rubio said he supported "positive relationships in the islamic communities in this country so they can identify and report this activity."
