Muslim leaders Saturday attacked as "bigoted" comments made by Rep. Peter King involving mosques and terrorism, although King shot back that he believes there is a "real problem" involving some mosques on Long Island.
In response to a recent Department of Homeland Security report about right-wing extremism, King told MSNBC Friday the department "has never put out a report talking about look out for mosques. Look out for Islamic terrorists in our country. Look out for the fact that very few Muslims come forward to cooperate with the police. If they sent out a report saying that, there would be hell to pay."
The New York Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) issued a news release saying King was stereotyping Muslims and that the FBI itself has said most Muslims cooperate with the agency.
"We urge elected representatives to distance themselves from King's bigoted remarks," said Faiza N. Ali, CAIR-NY's community affairs director. "Sweeping generalizations about Muslims and mosques have no serious place in national security discourse."

Good for Rep King!
And then we can start to demand explanations for the lying, murderous filth in their 'holy' book.
<spit>
Isn’t this typical. I hate the double standard. Belonging to a mosque does not necessarily make you an Islamic terrorist. However, if you belong to the NRA or even simply own a gun, then you certainly MUST be a sleeper member of some right-wing militia group that wants to overthrow the gov’t and destroy life as we know it...
Hell they all go by the same book,Good enough for me to pigeon hole the lot of them.
Hi TK. Perzackly right.
It seems nearly every mohammedan supports terrorism, whether by actively engaging in terrorist acts, covertly supplying funding, matériel, physical or legal support for terrorists, or by passively failing to act to prevent terrorism or expose terrorists.
You must NEVER stereotype Muslims, but you CAN stereotype US war veterans as genocidal NeoNazis...
“...Sweeping generalizations about Muslims...”
Of course, generalizations about pro-life anti-gun control
Christian anti-Communists are fine, since these folks are so stereo-typically similar. Muslims are a much less homgeneous group of people (sarc!).
“homogeneous” typo...
It’s all about cowardice. The liberal media are cowards as are most governments as witnessed by with the cartoons depicting Muslims.
Mr King is not a coward and says it like it is, how he believes it is and I say more power to him.
“Muslim leaders Saturday attacked as “bigoted” comments made by Rep. Peter King involving mosques and terrorism”
Will we ever hear the media call threats of genocide against all infidels ‘bigoted’?
It is so typical. Leftist dribble to accuse the other side of doing what they are doing. They will never understand Conservatives and their love for this Country. I am convinced it is not in their make-up. The left is the Blame America crowd for everything and use Conservatives as their targets lumping us all into terrorist now.
Their attacks on Bush including Sheehan and her crowd in Crawford were deemed okay by the left. Those folks are flat out looney but that is okay because they are liberals and can say and do anything they want.
How many of the hijackers on 9/11 were Muslim and how many were conservative 2nd amendment types? Looks to me like that little detail of 19-0 in favor of the Muslims should speak volumes to the world. Instead Rep King is picking on Muslims and their mosques according to the left.
Hope Rep King keeps speaking out.
Nicely put Thank you!
What doesn’t “draw muslim ire?”
I have yet to hear of anything that doesn’t, with the exception of the murder of innocents, which generally brings muslims celebrations.

No mosques in my country, my state, my county, my town or my NEIGHBORHOOD! NO mosques any time any where.
...or you could just eat a pulled pork sandwich in sight of one! I’ve gotta say here that it was brilliant to serve pulled pork at some of the Tea Parties around the country! Nice combination of Taxed Enough Already and ‘drawing muslim ire’ (as if that were an accomplishment). This is not a recruiting ad for drawing muslim ire, tho’ at some time in the future it will look good on your resume!
I would be very interested to see the new construction rates on new mosques around the country...
I would guarantee that if a search were conducted on every mosque in the US, they would they would find that 80-90% would be arms depots for further terrorist actions.
Boy, you can say that again!
Wait! No, no please don't.
Insanity on the left, all of the left, were it taxed, would have us out of debt in 6 months time, including the damage zero has done to it.
Ribs, too, would be a nice touch.
God Bless Peter King!
At least there’s one person in Congress with the stones to TELL THE TRUTH!
Semper Fi,
Kelly
Peter King’s point was valid. He said “if” they sent out such a report. And even without it, the hypothetical has CAIR going nuts.
Happy Day.
Good thing you aren’t betting. That would not be true of this country. Some might have legal arms but it isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan.
Our government is too busy making war on its own citizens. I think Muslims in this country feel pretty comfortable.

And they call King a Bigot????
“Hello, Pot, it is Kettle here, did you just call me black?”
“...Sweeping generalizations about Muslims...”
didn’t they do that against conservative Americans and armed forces veterans with the DHS Report?
All the muslims have to do is verbally deny having anything to do with them. Meanwhile, the left will never stop associating conservatives with the KKK. Never!
Oh yes they do!!
“Sweeping generalizations about Muslims and mosques have no serious place in our plans for national hegemony.”
Achmed the dead terrorist.
“I kill you.”
Michigan has been a center for Islamic “growth” for quite a while.I don’t think it’s a mistake that this most depressed of states, with its profoundly dsyfunctional leadership has been picked for just that reason, to fulfill just that purpose. Saudi Arabia for years was also funding mosques , not just in Michigan, but in a number of places where there wasn’t even a sizable Muslim population. Gee, I wonder what’s up with that? Like maybe Islamic immigrants could move there to inhabit those mosques? Maybe????
I knew this would begin again “under” Obama, and it will continue, and become just ONE MORE IRRITANT,one more toxic ingredient in the bubbling cauldron of “change” he’s determined to “bring us”. Things are slowly heating up, and I frankly hope they come to a head sooner rather than later. We can’t let up with tea parties, for the rest of the spring and summer, and perhaps the biggest of all, set for July 4th.
Peter King-—the ONLY high level metro NY politician worth anything, and he’s worth quite a lot.
