A growing number of Muslim groups are expressing serious reservations about the plan of House Homeland Security Committee’s chairman, Rep. Peter King (R – NY) to hold hearings at which hae has promised to expose the “real threat” posed by America’s Muslim minority.
King, who previously opined that America has “too many mosques” and that the government needed to focus more on how to infiltrate them, insists that the hearings will prove that the Muslim community isn’t sufficiently pro-war nor eager enough to cooperate with law enforcement probes against them.
Despite some half-hearted assurances that the probe would be “fair” the effort is seen by many as an attempt to portray the broader Muslim community as a grave threat to the US government, with stop-offs related to the Ground Zero Mosque controversy for good measures.
Though King denied planning to paint the entire Muslim community with the probe it has also raised questions about the notion of having a Congressional inquiry into the American-ness of an entire religious minority in the first place. Though Rep. King appears quite comfortable with the move, it remains to be seen what impact it will have on the treatment of Muslims across the nation.
This is the real face of america to distrust their minorities and force Pakistan to change Blasphemy laws but they are doing with law inforcement agancy which is a facists agency directed against Muslims. Several thousand Muslims are behind the bar without trial.
This is not wise to creat hatred within american society and will be counter productive but american administration is biast against muslims but future is even in america with us.
Muslims groups SHOULD be "concerned." Outraged, suspicious, and they'd probably better lawyer-up. You see, what we have here is failure. Failure to rise above immoral demagoguery. King, asshat that he is, will beat this McCarthy-esque horse until he can't turn another dime off the proposition.
Can we all say pogrom?
As well they should. As so should the rest of Amerikans.
The Muslim world has been around a lot longer than Rep. King, and will be here long after he's gone- if he wants his legacy to be that of an ignorant bigot, so be it. I say to him: we are Americans, we are Muslims, we stand with Allah(swt), we will not be bullied and terrorized by our government, and we will not be silent. In the words of a former American politician:
Bring it on.
Wow, this punk wants a pogrom!
We should investigate King and his family for their neo-fascist convictions and delve into Rep King's support for state terrorism.
The Foxes have taken over the American Chicken Coop.
Truly, "chicken coop" seems a most apt description of America these days.
I wonder why the Muslim community can come together so quickly to protest this probe into RADICAL Muslims, and we are still waiting for a comparable protest against terrorism and radical Muslims?? When 99% of terrorist attacks are carried out by Muslims, what do you expect??? – investigate Baptists?? If you decide to label me – so be it.
