Rep. Peter King Says Threat of Domestic Islamic Terrorism Justifies Upcoming Hearing


Rep. Peter King of New York defended on Sunday a congressional hearing he will hold this week on the threat of homegrown Islamic terrorism that focuses on Muslim-Americans, calling it an issue "which is not being talked about publicly" and needs to be.


"People in this country are being self-radicalized, whether it's Major Hasan or whether it's Shahzad or whether it was Zazi in New York," King said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"These were all people who were identifying, in one way or another, with al-Qaeda or al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

So it's an international movement with elements here in the United States."

King was referring to Army Major Nidal Malik Hassan, a military psychiatrist whose shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in November 2009 claimed 13 lives; Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan-born man living in Colorado charged in 2009 with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction; and Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-born man living in suburban Connecticut, whose attempt to blow up a bomb in Times Square last June was foiled.



King said the hearing by his Homeland Security Committee, scheduled for Thursday, will "go forward; and it's going to talk about something which is not being talked about publicly, which I think should be."

Asked about a recent report saying that 48 of 120 cases involving terrorist plots came from tips from the Muslim-American community, King said he did believed there has been "insufficient cooperation" and that this would be a key focus of the hearing.

"Certainly in my dealings with the police in New York and FBI and others say they do not believe -- they do not get the level of cooperation that they need, and even in Minneapolis we had occasions with Somali-Americans who felt that there were imams in their own community who were telling them not to cooperate with the FBI," he said.



Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat who was the first Muslim to be elected to Congress, said on the same program: "It's absolutely the right thing to do for the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee to investigate radicalization, but to say we're going to investigate a religious minority ... is the wrong course of action to take."

Ellison said King's hearing would play into the hands of terrorist leaders like Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki, by enabling them to "stand up and claim, you know, 'See, we told you; America's at war with Islam.'"

"That's one of their main recruiting arguments," Ellison said.
"That's why I think that we need to be careful about how we use the instrumentality of the government in investigative hearings."

"The strategy should be to engage the community, don't frighten the community, engage the community and help, and say 'Look, we embrace you as fellow Americans.

Let's all together hold hands and meet the security challenge.'"

Isn't funny how 7 out of the last 10 terrorist plots were thorted by the aid Muslim Americans?

Sure, let put a quick end to that nonsense. :confused5:

In addition I'd say 10 out 10 (R)'s look like and talk like mentally disturbed people ...

That's why the Republicans know, the more Americans that Vote, the less chance of winning. That's why they are doing everything they can to limit who can Vote. :yesnod:

PROVE IT>>>>

and if you can, out of those few cases....how about the BIG picture....???

sorry, but Europe's position seems to give enough warning...and yes I talk to Europeans often enough to know WTF they are facing....

obviously you are ignorant of reality....

so refute their/my information with FACTS....

and of course you can't....you argue with 'feelings'.....:lol::lol::lol:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

What about the radicalization of the Honkeys ... like the Tea Party Jared Loughners ?

Their world is getting small. :yesnod:

In their world, only people who have Color can be Radical, thus they need to shed light on them, call attention to them and perform their theatrics on National TV.

If you're White, you're just exercising your constitutional rights. Even bringing loaded Guns to Political Rallies are privileged White thing, what's radical about that?

RONG on both points.....CASE CLOSED.....you simply read much too much insanity off kos or DU some such drivel.....

:rofl::rofl:

If You and Hispanic or Black or Arab Man shows up to a political rally with a loaded Gun; who gets arrested? :confused5:

Now ... in your life time, who are the types who have historically killed someone at a Political Rally?

As it turns out, the muslim community welcomed these *theatrics* as it gave them a voice and platform ... just what white power America needed ...

I'll bet the dad of the underwear bomber who turned in his son is scratching his head on this one ..

Careful what you ask for, and they just may get it. :D

The Republican are making friends all over the place. :rofl:

or the "education" of the black children that burned to death in the churches we torched in the last "war against people that are different from us" that we perpetrated in the name of "Democracy", blah ****ing blah? :confused5:

AND SO?? somehow you think that gives the islamic cults the right to fly jets into buildings, and do terror bombings when they damn well feel like it??

not just HERE, but all OVER THE WORLD?? show me a spot on the map where islamic cults get along with others of a different belief/lifestyle.....

you CANT...

CASE CLOSED......

Proof...

Prove to me that he is/was anything but a whacked out loon.

I'm going to start deleting posts that you and Chas post if they aren't supported.

No one, unless you are in California or Illinois. If it is concealed in most states and you have a permit, it is also allowed.

What do you think the odds are that Palin posts a Dem Target List specificaly targeting Gaby Giffords at the same time Beck is calling for shooting (D)'s in the head ... then along comes a white loon who hated Gaby Giffords shoots Gaby Giffords in the head ?

I suggest the odds *of coincidence* are higher than a DNA test isolating a perp ...
