Gingrich: U.S. Should ‘Test Every Person Here Who Is of a Muslim Background’!

Following the deadly truck attack in Nice, France, Thursday night, Newt Gingrich said the U.S. should “test every person here who is of a Muslim background” to see if they pose a threat to the country.
Speaking to Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, the former House speaker said if those background checks reveal an allegiance to Sharia law, or Islamic law, the individual “should be deported.” 
“Let me be as blunt and as direct as I can be: Western civilization is in a war,” Gingrich said. “We should, frankly, test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported. Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization.”
He did, however, make it clear he is “perfectly happy” to welcome Muslims “who have given up Sharia” into the United States. Regardless, Gingrich said the country must “be fairly relentless about defining who our enemies are.”
Gingrich told Hannity he is “sick and tired” of being told the most powerful nation in the world “is helpless in the face of a group of medieval barbarians.”
