Commentary's Alana Goodman writes about the hearings/conference Rep. Peter King held about radical Islam in the US, and how, if there's anything they may have helped upon, it's exposing the serious problems CAIR represents. Including their call on Muslims not to cooperate with the FBI. Following this, we have to hope that all law enforcement agencies in the US will stop associating themselves with that group. Including the LA sherrif mentioned here (via Jihad Watch).
However, that still doesn't excuse King's refusal to invite people like Steve Emerson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Robert Spencer as witnesses, and I'm not sure the inclusion of Dr. Zuhdi Jasser will suffice either. Did I mention how some Democrats couldn't handle this?
As seen in the past few days, King has had to beef up security, as no matter how he handles this, the Islamofascists don't want him to discuss the issue at all. But while it's good that it took place in the end, it's still unclear if this hearing will have sufficient impact.
Also note THIS about the American Library Association:
ReplyDeleteThe American Library Association [ALA] has joined with the Council On American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] to oppose Congressman Pete King's congressional hearings to "show [the] extent of radicalization in [the] Muslim American community."
Since when is the ALA so involved in political matters?
