After the March 22nd terrorist attacks in Belgium, Republican U.S. Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz said law enforcement should be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” In defending the plan, Cruz cited former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his aggressive policing efforts, including the alleged targeting of Muslim neighborhoods for surveillance. Current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton held a press conference where they criticized Cruz’s proposal as “incendiary” and “foolish.”

Yes, and local police should increase surveillance and patrol of all neighborhoods with high crime rates regardless of race or religion.
@4PWL4TS4yrs4Y
Their should be no Muslim neighbourhoods as they breed terrorism and intolerance as we have seen in Europe. Immigrants should be evenly distributed throughout the country and forced to integrate with the current population.
@d3bates4yrs4Y
No, targeting Muslims is unconstitutional, Islamophobic, and incendiary and would provide ISIS with ammunition to accuse the U.S. of a conspiracy against Islam
@4PLZY2B4yrs4Y
Muslim neighborhoods? what is this nazi Germany?
@4PRG5DS4yrs4Y
No, more attacks are commited by Christian fanatics
@4W4SHWV4yrs4Y
We shouldn't even allow "Muslim neighborhoods", there should only be "American neighborhoods". Anyone who has demonstrated an unwillingness to adopt our culture should be expelled with great haste. Diversity is NOT our strength.
@4TXL84Y4yrs4Y
Yes. Islam is NOT a religion, it is a socio-political ideology masquerading as a religion. No problem at all banning it.
@4PN6YBG4yrs4Y
yes we are being invaded from within all we have to do is listen to briton communities and see what will happen here, the united states was based on christianity that is why most immigrated here those who immigrate to the u. s. need to intigrate within our communities, celebrate thier religions and customs but realize they have moved to a christian nation and respect our way of life and not try to change us or we will retaliate with a vengance
