Marco Rubio Just Called Out the Real Threat the Left Pretends Doesn’t Exist: Radical Islam [WATCH]

Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the global threat posed by radical Islamic movements, outlining what he described as their long-term objectives and the risks facing the United States and its allies.

Rubio said that these movements consistently identify Western nations, particularly the United States, as a primary target.

He explained that their ambitions go beyond regional control and instead reflect broader goals.

“Ultimately, all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the West writ large, but the United States in particular, as the greatest evil on the earth,” Rubio said.

He rejected the idea that such groups are limited in scope or intent.

“And every chance to have the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history,” Rubio said.

Rubio stated that these movements aim to expand their reach beyond localized areas.

“Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate,” he said.

He added that their objectives involve broader territorial and ideological expansion.

“They want to expand. It is revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people,” Rubio said.

According to Rubio, this includes plans that directly affect Western nations.

“And radical Islam has designs openly on the West, on the United States, on Europe,” he said.

Rubio also pointed to actions carried out by Iran, describing them as part of a broader pattern.

“We’ve seen that progress there as well, and they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism. In the case of Iran nation state, actions, assassinations, murderers, you name it, whatever it takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their domination of different cultures and societies,” Rubio said.

He characterized the situation as a direct threat to the United States and its allies.

“That’s a clear and imminent threat to the world and to the broader West, but especially to the United States, who they identify as the Chief, chief source of evil on the planet,” Rubio said.

Rubio also addressed tensions involving U.S. allies in the Middle East.

“The reason why they hate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of the UAE of Bahrain, is because they’ve allowed the United States to partner with them,” he said.

He continued, “That’s why they hate them. They consider them infidels for it.”

Rubio further stated that hostility extends beyond those nations.

“They hate Israel, but they also hate America, and they hate anywhere in the world that we have influenced,” he said.

He said that these views contribute to threats within the United States itself.

“They seek to attack it, including here in the homeland,” Rubio said.

Rubio pointed to past incidents as examples of domestic attacks inspired by such ideologies.

“If you look at the domestic terrorists at the attacks that happened here domestically, the overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints,” he said.

He cited specific cases. “That includes the shooting in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that includes the Saudi pilot in Pensacola, my home state, two attacks,” Rubio said.
