There seems to be a widespread belief among certain members of the political class that protecting the country against terrorism is a matter of ideology. According to them, the strong leaders in this area are the ones who are willing to insult Muslims, advocate torture, and engage in various other provocations. They claim that other leaders are paralyzed by political correctness and that they alone have the ideological fortitude to guard against the terrorist threat.

However, it's not a surprise that Cruz wouldn't know what he was talking about: he's a Republican and if his mouth is moving there's about 80% chance
he's either lying deliberately, or doesn't know enough to keep his mouth shut when he doesn't have the facts.
