“They are not content enough to have their way of looking at the world, they want to put their way on everybody in the world. And again, I don’t know how big that is, and depending on who you talk to, but they are certainly — they are willing to go to extremes. They are willing to use and they do use terrorism.” (RELATED: [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore]: Barack Obama Is ‘An Apologist For Radical Islamic Terrorists’)
