Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry says a string of tragedies proves the fight against terrorism has moved from battlefields abroad to the cities and streets of America.

Fortenberry says the twisted ideology of the Islamic State has infected too many, triggering the deadly attacks at Ft. Hood…Chattanooga, Tennessee…San Bernardino…and now Orlando

Fortenberry says the United States must get serious about rooting out radical Islam, whether imported or homegrown.

Fortenberry says Muslims need to speak out against the twisted theology that spawns such bloodshed, but laments that there is no centralized voice for Islam

Fortenberry says radical Muslims have abused the freedoms they enjoy in this country to spread their twisted view of the religion.
