Al Qaeda, I’m happy to report, hasn’t pulled off an attack on America since 9-11 but recent al Qaeda-inspired attacks have prompted Congressman Peter King of New York to call hearings this week on radical Islam and the potential for home-grown terrorism.
He told CNN’s State of the Union that he’s worried about the Fort Hood shootings and the Times Square bomber:

King D:

He was on CNN’s State of the Union with Congressman Keith Ellison, who is Muslim, and who says the hearings are unnecessary

Ellison A:

More after this from Charlie:

Rep. Peter King – the new chair of the House Homeland Security Committee acknowledges that "The overwhelming majority of Muslims are outstanding Americans” but he’s also worried… that some young Muslims will be unable to resist the call of radical Islam:

So his hearings will go on despite the objections of Muslims like Congressman Keith Ellison:

In New York City at a demonstration against the heraings, Imam Faisal Rauf, co-founder of that Muslim center near Ground Zero said the same thing:

Of course by saying that – you’re admitting young Muslims can be radicalized even by something as boring as a congressional hearing, which I’m not sure helps the argument.

Maybe the way to make everybody happy would be to expand the hearing to cover ALL religions that like to spread the message of a vengeful God… As I recall we heard a lot from a scary-sounding Christian group last week:

Margie 1

Do you think that maybe there could be some crazy people inspired by THAT kind of talk?

Margie 2… imminent.”
