Weekly Standard " “I don’t see Islam as our enemy,” Paul said. “I see that motivation is occupation and those who hate us and would like to kill us, they are motivated by our invasion of their land, the support of their dictators that they hate.” "

Ron Paul says U.S. intervention motivated 9/11 attacks " “(9/11) was one of the main motivations for getting your attention on why they hate us and want to kill us,” he said. “You could send 20 million people over there and all it would do is make our problems worse.” "
From RealClearPolitics: Ron Paul's Foreign Policy Predicament "Paul likely will have a difficult time making his case effectively on international and military affairs to many of the voters who might otherwise be inclined to support him on the home front.
""I think what brought the tea party together were domestic economic issues -- the health care bill, the tax issue," Curtis said. "When it comes to foreign policy, the opinions become more diverse. Some take a very narrow view and would like to see the U.S. take a more isolationist view when it comes to foreign policy, whereas others feel strongly about providing for the common defense and preventing future terrorist attacks.""
From The Foreign Policy Initiative "Continuing to include Paul and his mob of vocal supporters at Republican debates makes the GOP look unserious. It would be as if Bernie Sanders were allowed to grace the stage at Democratic-party events and promote his socialist vision for America to a cheering crowd. "
"Compounding the problem, some in the Tea Party movement now seem to be following Paul’s recipe for American decline".....
Ron Paul on Israel "...he believes that we should NEVER try to use our influence to stop Israel from defending herself. Ron Paul refused to vote to condemn Israel during the 2006 war with Lebanon. And he will never try to pressure Israel into accepting a “land for peace” compromise before the Israelis themselves decide."
