“We’re targeted even if it’s not our fault,” said Omar Ghanim, 23, eating Lebanese pizza Tuesday at a suburban strip mall in Orange County’s Little Arabia neighborhood, just miles from Disneyland in California.
Ghanim said Islamic State doesn’t represent his faith.
“They don’t follow the Islamic rules or anything Islam,” he said. “We’re a peaceful people — we’re not violent.”
Cruz said Tuesday that law enforcement should be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” Echoing earlier statements from rival Donald Trump, Cruz also said the U.S. should stop the flow of refugees from countries where the Islamic State militant group has a significant presence. IS claimed responsibility for the attacks at the Brusselsairport and a subway station that killed dozens Tuesday and wounded many more.
