The King Hearings

Muslims enraged at King's hearings show that Islam is a Religion of Peace by threatening his life

"The Obama administration has tried to frame the discussion around radicalization in general, without singling out Muslims. King has said that's just political correctness since Al Qaeda is the main threat to the U.S."

Congressman sobs in testimony during King hearings  "King and others in this hearing have gone out of their way to repeat that they are looking into radical Islam as a major problem in home-grown terrorism.  Even that won’t satisfy Ellison, who seems determined to shout (or sob) down any attempt to talk about the nature of radical Islam and the threat to national security it represents as somehow an attack on all Muslims."

Some Democrats Can’t Handle the Truth at Peter King Hearings  "“It may be right, but it doesn’t look right when we take on Islam, and we allow this to take place, and we don’t take the chance to tell the truth about the KKK and the problems with Christianity,” said Rep. Green today. “It doesn’t look right, Mr. [Zuhdi] Jasser, when we take on one religion with the exclusion of others.”"

Inside King’s Hearing   "King, his voice firm, explains the purpose of hearings. He calls them “vital and important” at the top. Today’s session, he says, will be the “first in a series of hearings” dealing with the “critical issue” of Islamic extremism in United States. He adds that he is “well aware” that the hearings are stirring controversy and reactions ranging from “disbelief” and “rage” to “hysteria.” Again, he emphasizes that he will “not back down.” To do so, he warns, “would be an abdication” of his committee’s duty to “protect Americans from terrorist attacks.” There is “nothing radical or un-American” about that, he says."

Rep. Peter King is alerting us to the Islamic radicals already among us.  " “American Muslims must take the lead in creating solutions to the radicalization of our own,” Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D., wrote Wednesday on FoxNews.com. “These hearings will provide the long overdue platform for us to step away from the standard denials and apologetics in order to reclaim our Muslim identity from the terrorists and redefine ourselves within the framework of the American pantheon.” Jasser, a former U.S. Navy lieutenant commander and now president of the Phoenix-based American Islamic Forum for Democracy, testified today before Congressman King."

Rep. Peter King, the IRA, and the Hearings on Radical Islam in the United States  "It would be far better if King could look critically at his own past, and say something like this: “In the past, my ancestral ties to Ireland and my belief in Irish independence blinded me to the tactics, politics and associations of the IRA, which I unfortunately supported years ago. Would I be able to go back in time, knowing what I do in the present, I would never have backed fund-raising campaigns that I learned helped fund IRA attacks in Britain, against civilian targets. I regret my actions. That is why I seek to help my country and the broad Muslim community stand firm today against those who would use Islam as a way to gain support for dangerous radicals who speak in its name.”

"That he is doing the opposite will only hurt what he is trying to accomplish with the hearings that start today."
