CAIR Accuses Peter King of “Peddling Extremist Rhetoric” For Planning Radical Muslim Hearings…

We know CAIR has something to hide…

(Fox News)- Representative Peter King (R-NY) says he’ll call for hearings into the radicalization of Muslim Americans when he takes over as chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security in the new congressional term.

In an interview on FOX’s “America Live,” King said “We have to break through this politically correct nonsense which keeps us from debating and discussing what I think is one of the most vitally important issues in this country. We are under siege by Muslim terrorists and yet there are Muslim leaders in this country who do not cooperate with law enforcement.”

And he also notes a rise in terrorist recruitment in the United States saying, “We have the reality that Al-Qaida is trying to recruit Muslim-Americans, and yet we have people in the Muslim community who refuse to face up to this.”

But some Muslim groups have said such hearings would be an anti-Muslim witch hunt and lead to an era of McCarthy-type hearings.

“Rep. King has dedicated years of his career peddling extremist rhetoric and baseless claims concerning the Muslim community and its leadership,” said Faiza Ali, community affairs director of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “Instead of promoting counterproductive strategies that risk alienating partners within the community, Rep. King would better serve our nation if he actually engaged mainstream American Muslim leaders and organizations on issues related to national security.”

    CAIR members are shaking in their boots…what the FBI etc haven’t done, he will.

    Should have said ‘sandals’ instead of ‘boots’ above.

    First things first. King should start with the connections that CAIR has with The Muslim Brotherhood. If he start with CAIR, he can ‘qualify’ every future complaint they make.

    From there, he should RE-expose the Holyland Foundation, their relationship with CAIR, and list the members of both organizations who have been CONVICTED of providing material support for terrorism, since 911.

    The former chairman for CAIR in Michigan was arrested just a couple of years ago (not too from my house), and was convicted of being an agent of Saddam Husein’s Iraqi government.

    Muthana al-Hanooti: Of Palestinian decent, but emigrated to the US via Iraq. He had tied to both Saddam Hussein AND the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Qaeda, Hamas, Egyptian Islamic Jihad)

    I don’t trust CAIR, not one bit.

    As for “muslims for democracy” organization (I might have the name slightly wrong) (I forget the person’s name, but he comes on Fox often), that group I trust, the man in charge has called into Hannity’s and Mark Levin’s show, he is very critical of muslim people who yells bigot every freaking time, very critical of the Grd Zero Victory Mosque.

    As for Peter King, I fully support this, I trust him, and will therefore support this effort by this congressman.

    Apparently CAIR hasn’t heard about the latest terror threat in the US: poisoning food in hotels and restaurants simultaneously on a single weekend.

    I’m sick of this. I want my kids to grow up in the America I grew up in, not the UK of present time.

    Funny how CAIR and company get all bent out of shape when called out, but are strangely silent with the Fort Hood shooting, the Christmas Tree bomber, the Times Square bomber, the underwear bomber, 9/11 and other atrocities.

    They are like petulant children who scream and pout to get what they want but are not responsible enough to change their dirty undies.

    Show us *something*, say *something*, act *American*, act as if you are sorry that you are the crappiest, most voilent group of immigrants to ever be allowed into our country.

    If the name means American-Islamic relations, then realize Islam’s relations and actions have SUCKED and CAIR should begin with an apology!

    Hell, you should be begging our forgiveness to stay in the U.S. Ungrateful jerks!

    I can not wait for Mr. King to go after CAIR. It should not take long to see a connection that will lead the the WH.

    Dr Jasser has said in the video “The Third Jihad” that there are NO moderate Imans in the USA.

    Anyone not standing up to the terrorists are complicit and one of them. They will be happy to move into your house, take over your property, town, etc., after the “terrorists” murder your community…just like the “good Germans” who really weren’t Nazi’s (wink, wink) did to the Jews. They were on the side of the Nazis during WWII so they know the drill pretty well.

    We know CAIR has a lot to hide. Radical Islam can’t stand the scrutiny because there’s no such thing. It’s just Islam, the religion of hate and intolerance. I just hope it happens and the RINOs, progressives and multi-culturalist don’t sink this badly needed look into Islam.

    If he does go ahead and hold the hearings, he better be strong because the Islamists and their lefty enablers are gonna tear him a new one. First lib squealing about McCarthyism in 3, 2, 1…

    CAIR is the bunch of bozos that sued Oklahoma when we voted to ban Sharia law. They are jerks of the lowest order. They want Sharia law to be used in the US. They need to be run out of the country!! ALL of them!!

    As the unindicted coconspirator and NON legal entity, CAIR has absolutely no voice in this countries doings.

    As a foreign organization, any voice they express would be sedition.

    King has been a stand-up conservative for years. The media
    will give him the “Ken Starr” treatment. The Right needs
    to get behind him 100%.

    The average libtard progressive thinks there is no such thing as a Muslim Jihad terrorist wanting to attack America. They think they all are really CIA agents trying to create a crisis, so the evil vast right wing conspiracy can fire up the FEMA camps and round up all the “liberated enlightened ones” and turn the USA into a Christian theocracy were Bush comes back as der fuhrer.

    You think I’m joking???

    As between a Muslim (any Muslim) and an Apostate from Islam who is properly characterized as an aggressor; as a stalker? CAIR. OIC. Any and all of the other alphabet soup affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood, and their individual followers.

    CAIR: Dedicated to Stalking. Dedicated to Organized Stalking.

    We need to update stalking laws so as to include it within the list of crimes covered by RICO. The Organized Crime of Stalking, even if not for financial gain.

    As Michael Savage has so perfectly coined” Liberalism is a mental disorder”, it really shows up in this discussion of Islam and Muslims. The whole goal of Islam is submission, worldwide submission, and all ways to accomplish this goal is good and right. But of course we cant talk about it in the open forum, there are so many labels and negative words, how dare anyone talk about the truth of Islam. Don’t let them shut you up, freedom of speech is one of our most precious rights in our country.
