The moment when Newt Gingrich regarded Thursday’s terror attack in France, and encouraged the deportation of all Muslims who believe in Shariah law, President Barack Obama was the first to claim that this suggestion is simply unacceptable.
“In the wake of last night’s attacks, we’ve heard more suggestions that all Muslims in America be targeted, tested for their beliefs, some deported or jailed,” Obama kvetched in remarks from the White House on Friday, according to CNN. “And the very suggestion is repugnant and an affront to everything that we stand for as Americans.”
Moreover, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest doubled down on Obama’s rhetoric by calling the proposal “un-American.”
Neither of these statements pleased Gingrich too much.
Obama's attack on me would be more impressive if he had ANY plan to defeat Islamic supremacist.8 years of failure disqualify him as a critic

“Obama’s attack on me would be more impressive if he had ANY plan to defeat Islamic supremacist,” he tweeted Friday afternoon. “(Eight) years of failure disqualify him as a critic.”
He added that Obama ought to at least share a “serious plan” on how he intended to prevent terrorists from taking advantage of his Syrian refugee resettlement program.
I challenge President Obama to share with us a serious plan to screen out terrorists from the Syrian refugees.he is risking American lives

But Obama had no intention of doing such a thing, as he prefers to make excuses for those who subscribe to the radical teachings of Shariah law, arguing that attempts to block Islamists from entering the U.S. would amount to bigotry.
Never mind the fact that when Gingrich shared his idea Thursday night, he explicitly cautioned that Muslims who have given up Shariah law should be allowed to remain.
“Perfectly happy to have them next door,” he said at the time. “But we need to be fairly relentless about defining who our enemies are. Anybody who goes on a website that favors ISIS or Al Qaeda or terrorist groups, that should be a felony.”
What Gingrich is actually saying is that Obama, most probably, obstructs his idea to do just about anything, in order to carry out his own political vision, which is highly unappreciated by the general population.
