MASSAPEQUA PARK, N.Y. — Opponents and supporters chanted outside the district office of Long Island Congressman Peter King, who plans hearings on radical Islam. About 200 noisy but peaceful protesters — split about evenly “for” and “against” — were watched by at least 30 police officers in Massapequa Park. Christian, Jewish and Muslim opponents of the hearings had billed their event Tuesday as an interfaith “pray-in.” They’re urging the House Committee on Homeland Security chairman not to hold controversial hearings on what he calls the “radicalization” of some American Muslims.

Someone needs to spy on the “prey-in”.

“Don’t hold hearings! You might learn the truth!”

yes, cant let the caliphate out of the bag....

Call me pessimistic but I don't think we can count on AP to help educate its readers on the facts regarding the Islamists plans for America.

However, I think we reasonably CAN count on them to run interference for the Islamists right up until the time Al Jazeera takes over their miserable reporting apparatus.

New Yorkers aren’t gonna put up with too too much of this.

Dear Representative King,

Please stick your head in the sand.

Signed the usual suspect list of useful idiots.

I’m baffled as to why Christians and Jews would be protesting these hearings?

[Clink]

Christian, Jewish and Muslim opponents of the hearings had billed their event Tuesday as an interfaith “pray-in.”

And if this group ended up being "successful" the first two denominations would be subject to a "prey-on".

Too much of what? King's investigation?

I wish that were true. I know my Brooklyn relative won't....THAT'S for sure.

Probably for the same reason college kids protest......they don't know why, they just feel they're supposed to.

ScottinVA = clueless about NY, so, it’s advisable to keep your cute comments to your and your small circle of friends.

[La Enchiladita]

Al Jazeera have already taken over a former PBS station in Los Angeles and are now running their news feed 24/7.

[ScottinVA]

Actually, I’ll comment about what the hell I want... but my point was directed at liberal NYC.

Got it?
