The San Bernardino shootings. Report indicates the female shooter Tashfeen Malik had been posting for years on social media about wanted to be a part of the violate jihad. Did that keep her from entering the country . Criminal activity is criminal activity regardless of where its coming from and wrong is wrong. You know, we do consider this an act of terrorism just like anything else. A new development in the california mosque that was fire bombed. A man is in custody this morning accused of a hate crime. And cruz trumps trump. The new iowa poll out shows ted cruz is double digits ahead of longtime frontrunner donald trump. Good morning to you on this sunday switching things up a bit starting a new spot for you. Im christi paul. So grateful for your company. Im victor blackwell. A stunning new report about how one of the San Bernardino killers slipped into the u. S. Despite openly talking about violent jihad online. The New York Times reporters before Tashfeen Malik moved to the u. S. From pakistan she posted about her part to be a violent jihad. The posts were missed during three, yes, he three different background checks. Had they been found, authorities might have been able to keep her out of the country. Malik and her husband committed the deadliest terror attack since september 11th. We know 21 others were injured and 14 were killed. Investigators have wrapped up their search at that lake going on for several days near the site of the massacre and cnns Annika Cabrera has the latest. Reporter divers spent days combing this lake searching for any evidence that may be connected to the killers Tashfeen Malik and syed farook. We have found the divers have found a number items in the lake but fbi officials arent confirming to us exactly what those items are, nor whether they can confirm if they have to do with this case. One fbi agent telling us they have to do further investigation to determine whether it is part of this investigation. But we have learned a little bit more about how they are conducting this search. It is slow. It is methodical. They are using metal detectors and they have specialized equipment to help them because the water is dark and murky and up to ten feet deep in places, we have learned. These divers are trained professionals and they are doing a grid search so that they leave no stone unturned to make sure they get anything that could possibly be evidence in this case. We do know that Tashfeen Malik and farook were in this area on the day of the shooting according to what authorities have said on the record. They say they got a tip that led them here. They have scoured the park area but the lake is what is left. Did the shooters ditch anything . One thing that has been missing since the beginning is the hard drive from the couples computer. That is something that they are really hoping to find, perhaps its in this lake. The other thing i want to remind us of is the victims in this tragedy. We know many of the victims are being laid to rest, including Shannon Johnson who is funeral was on saturday. He is the 45yearold man who many called a hero saying he died trying to protect one of his coworkers. Thank you so much. This morning, a man is in custody in connection with a fire at a mosque in southern california. We are talking about 23yearold carl james dial, jr. He was booked yesterday and hasnt been formally charged but arrested on suspicion of arson, a hate crime and felony burglary. The mosque in california suffered considerable damage from the fire and police say was an intentional act. People were inside praying when it happened on friday and no one hurt and the acti ining iman sa this will not prevent them from worshipping. We can worship were in. The building offers us protection from the elements and a symbol the fact we are here. We are people of revolve and im absolutely sure we are going to pick up the pieces and fix the building and move on. Its what make america great. You have the right to worship in your own manner and it really doesnt matter who likes it or doesnt. The suspect is scheduled to app in Court Wednesday morning. The disturbing number of antimuslim incidents is growing add a record pace this year. Pablo san dousandoval is live i new york. Reporter one muslim leader tells me it has not been a very year to be muslim here. The Charlie Hebdo attacks earlier in the year. One expert seems to think that it is simply fueling this wave of islam phobia. Reporter 2015 will likely see the most antimuslim incidents in the u. S. Since the 9 11 terrorist attacks according to some experts. The cases are tracked by the council on American Islamic relations or care. The group status shows they have been targeted by vandals 63 times this year that number doesnt compare to what some muslims truly face according to cairs public president. Not even close what is happening in the streets. Reporter arson investigators believe a fire at a mosque in california was intentionally set on friday. Worshipers clung to their faith and left to pray on the sidewalk. You see the brothers there praying . Is that that is one of the obligation, we pray. Not on the dirt, not on the rug but thats what we do. Reporter dial was arrested and charged with committing that hate crime. A separate incident investigated by the fbi was caught on camera in philadelphia. That is a severed pigs head being thrown out of a truck at a mosque. This, too, being investigated as a hate crime. Practicing muslims are prohibited from eating pork or pork byproducts. In florida, a gun shop owner is using words to fuel controversy about 25 will get you this sign to establish muslim free zone. Andrew calls his signs a novelty, end quote, something humorous. This lady is not laughing. A muslim store owner was attacked and violently he got to the hospital and we were talking about coming together as a nation what stops that attack was actually customer coming in and acted as a Good Samaritan so not with that Good Samaritan, perhaps things would be much different. Reporter a mother and an american citizen only hopes that kind of compassion and unity spreads across the country. So getting really achieving that level of understanding is key here according to what i was told yesterday. At this point, it would take potentially or at least i was told it would take fellow muslims reintroducing themselves to their neighbors and starting that conversation and tackling what is a very hard conversation to have, victor, but this is something that is a struggle for members of the Muslim Community. He told you during that interview the number that is reported really isnt, in her estimation, a tenth of the actual number of incidents, but what is the number we know and why are they so difficult to track . Reporter this last month alone we saw 17 antimuslim attacks according to some of the folks who track them, but the reason its so hard to track them is many of the individuals may not speak up and may be intimidated and may be afraid. What we are seeing here is leaders in the Muslim Community trying to encourage some of their fellow muslims to come forward. That is very key to get a better idea of how real this issue is. The last time we saw these kinds of numbers about 53 that took place in 2010 or the mosque controversy at the ground zero site so Muslim Leaders dont want to see that happen again. Pablo sandoval, thanks so much. You bet. Lets talk about cnn Law Enforcement analyst tom fuentes who is joining me from washington. I want to get back to the piece in the New York Times about Tashfeen Malik passing these three background checks. Parnl no one uncovered her social media posts where she openly talked about violent jihad. Why isnt scouring social media part of the protocol . I think, christi, the issue for that is how many people they are processing and how much access they have to that kind of information when they are doing these interviews, especially the counselor interview that is done in pakistan before she comes over. So i think its just a question of how deep of a background they are able to do on these people. They do require a Certified Police record from every country that that person lived in, so they have to obtain that. But then that is only going to be as good as what the saudis and pakistanis give us to put in that background check. I understand that president obama, again, according to this article ordered a view that background checks are expanded. Does it just come down to money and manpower . You can only expand it so far. You cant do an investigation on the ground in a foreign country unless they want you to or allow you to. So if youre trying to do backgrounds on people that arent even from the capital and islamabad and other parts of pakistan, there is no ability for americans to go physically go around the country and do that kind of background. They rely on the pakistanis to provide that information and that is the way it is all over the world. So they are saying there is an internal debate at the Homeland Security department. Why is that up for debate given the times we are live in . Thats true. If you want to on change privacy rules, laws to accommodate the times youre exactly right but that is the issue and the issue has been what is the right to privacy of individuals and in our system youre allowed to say bad things unless you do Something Back or incite somebody else to do something bad. I think that is where the issue comes up is how much of an expression in jihad was she making. If she was saying idea of it that is protective speech in our system and you you dont think it would have kept her out . I dont know. I think that is going to be a question for u. S. Cif, United StatesCitizenship Immigration Services oust ones who process these background checks and then it goes to the state department. When they enter the country at Chicago Ohare Airport they go through another interview and taken out of a line and put in a separate room and go through a different interview process. Im very familiar with the current k1 process having just gone through it three years ago, a year before they did, so it is an extensive and diligent, but it relies on the other countries to provide the information you need and that may not be forthcoming over there. That is a problem and always going to be a part of the problem. Certainly a lot of social media posts are public so it does make you wonder. Tom fuentes, we so appreciate your insight on this.

A new iowa poll shows that ted cruz has soared ahead of donald trump. Opening up a tenpoint lead in this pivotal first in the nation state. Trump has since responded to these numbers by tweeting out, quote, new cnn iowa poll. Trump 33, cruz 20. Everyone else way down. Dont trust des moines iowa regist register poll and they are sponsoring this poll. This comes days before cruz and trump face off in las vegas at the next cnn debate. Lets talk more more with erol louis. The Des Moines Register i guess has characterized this as a big shakeup. Is that what we are seeing here . I think its a snapshot like every poll and this snapshot is a little different than everything we have seen. I think they are absolutely right. Donald trump has boasted over and over again about how long he has been leading in the polls and by how much. Now he gets a couple of polls he doesnt like and polls dont mean so much to him but they do mean something. What this suggests is that ted cruz has been diligently working and he has captains in all 100 counties in iowa and a message that resonate with the caucusgoers who are evangelical. Politics is kind of playing out as one would have predicted, that those who are evangelicals are going to respond to a carson and cruz and not necessarily a trump. So trump is boasting his claims up until now, are now questioned by reality, whether or not he responds, we will see. But trumps numbers are still strong in iowa, have actually gotten stronger since the last Des Moines Register poll. Is this more of a cruz v trump story or A Cruz V Carson story . I think its what do the voters want kind of story. When you dig down into the poll, what you see is ted cruz isnt just more popular. Its not just sort of a surface appeal. When you dig down into it, what it says is that he seems to have the right temperament for the job far and away higher than trump, that he seems to be more likely to outlaw all abortion, which is important to a certain slice of that electorate. He has some substantive credibility issues that really just go past trumps. I think thats really the story, that whoever they pick, whether its cruz, carson, or trump or anybody else, these are the issues that matter to them. Of course, the allimportant does he deal with well, does he have sort of does he care about people like you, i guess, is the one that always makes a big difference. There again, cruz is leading the field. These are what really matters, what the voters want, not so much what the candidates are selling. There is a time in this primary season when donald trump walked out with his bible that his mother gave him and talked about his presbyterian faith and put the bible as the only book above his book, the art of the deal. We heard reference of religion a day or two ago in talking about ted cruz. Listen to what ed. So i think we are doing really well with the evangelicals. By the way again, i do like ted cruz, but not a lot of evangelicals come out of cuba, in all fairness. Its true. Not a lot come out. But i like him, nevertheless. Any indication this is an effective strategy . Yeah. I think the polls are one indication that it is not an effect to the strategy. Ted cruzs father is an evangelical. A man of great faith and a man of great accomplishment in those circles. You dont just, you know, sort of throw out a snide comment like that. If donald trump thinks theres something wrong with the cruz family and their commitment to evangelical and faith and action and political activity, he should really just say so. By throwing out Little Things like that, no. The voters out there, that 60 have been surprising pundits and setting the course of politics ever since an evangelical named jimmy carter stumped around in the snow out there and had a surprise win that led to the white house. I mean, this is deep stuff. If you go out there and you talk to people you realize their faith is not just sort of an addon, something they just kind of check off on their way to the polls. This is something that has a real life to it. I dont know if donald trump fully understands that. One poll is an outlier but with two showing trump a trailer, we have a trend. Thank you, errol.
