In todays Newsday OpEd New York Rep. Peter King announced his election by the House Republican Conference to chair the Homeland Security Committee, and his intention to hold hearings on the radicalization of American Muslim community and homegrown terrorism. Of course, Kings reputation for anti-Muslim rhetoric has many Muslims concerned that Kings inquiry will be more like this centurys version of the Red Scare era House UnAmerican Activities Committee hearings.
King writes, Federal and local law enforcement officials throughout the country told me they received little or - in most cases - no cooperation from Muslims. Yet, a recent study from the Muslim Public Affairs Council says almost forty percent of al-Qaida-related terror plots since September 11, 2001 were thwarted with the help of the Muslim community.

Peter King is a complete and utter ass....a conservative blowhard who's a holdover from the corrupt political system of Suffolk County on Long Island, New York. Small wonder that the neocon driven GOP will elevate him to this post, as they need to keep their narrative going to maintain the legend of the Shrub era being right on all accounts.
Even if he gets re-elected, I doubt Obama will have the cojones to desolve the essentially redundant and money wasting Homeland Security and re-install the successful Clinton program....who accomplished the same (if not better) results with nothing more than simple weekly meetings and subsequent coordination.

Clinton created numerous barriers to interagency communication. He actively pitted one against the other and his legacy is 9/11.
What's the problem exactly? They should stick to investigating baseball and Toyota? Or you don't think we have worries about radical muslims on American soil?
Obama will throw the Muslims under the bus with this guy, just like everyone else.
Civil liberties don't mean shit in ClintObamaBushland.
Sure you can use it.What's wrong with calling Muslim extremists "Muslim extremists?"

But no one knows exactly what the term "Muslim extremists" means.
Islamic terrorism is a disputed term for acts of terrorism committed by Muslims for the purpose of achieving varying political ends. For example, Osama bin Laden's stated goal of ending American military presence in the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula,[1][2] overthrowing Arab regimes he considers corrupt and insufficiently religious,[1][2] and ending American support for Israel.[3]
Some observers have argued that this form of terrorism is also aimed at propagating Islamic culture, society and values in opposition to perceived political, imperialistic, and/or cultural influences of non-Muslims, and the Western world in particular.[4][5]
There are also historical dimensions to the phenomenon, and the history of Western influence and control after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, is a commonly stated reason used within some terrorist groups to justify and explain its use of violence as resistive and retributive against western influences.

I agree. The name is Islamic terrorism.

I personally wish they would all pack up, go home and find work in the productive sector. In principle I have no problem with an national discussion on the root causes of terrorism or radicalization, but I seriously doubt that Peter King is the guy to approach it honestly.What's the problem exactly? They should stick to investigating baseball and Toyota? Or you don't think we have worries about radical muslims on American soil?
King's clearly a patriot, just like McCarthy was.
Glad someone's awake, and lookin out for US by tackling this issue head on.

As long as you're referring to KNOWN Muslim extremists and NOT trying to fabricate a "guilt by association" or insinuation of muslims in general.
King is just blowing smoke out his fat, flabby ass.....as the article I sourced demonstrates.
