Rep. Peter King said Wednesday he continues to believe that 85 percent of the mosques in the United States have "extremist leadership,"

He's seriously underestimating.

I don't recall reading about Muslims "fuming" over, say, September 11.

How good do you think Rep. King's contacts are? He's structured an entire novel around what he knows about muslims-in-America obstructionism.

Knowing Newsday, which is four giant steps to the left of the LA times, I am sure there is troom waiting on their OpEd page for another editorial from your guys.

He's right. Saudi money preaches hate to America.

Peter King is a good man.

The truth hurts.

"If he wrote about Muslim extremists in Nassau County, it is very much in poor taste, because extremists do not have a religion," said Khankan, adding that his mosque has offered cooperation in the fight against terrorism to Nassau, Suffolk and New York City police officials and FBI agents. "Would King write another fiction and say that some Catholic extremists would do a terrorist act, or that some Jewish terrorist would do some violent acts on Long Island? He wouldn't dare, but he thinks that because we are small in number, he could try to sell books on our backs."

Perhaps Khankan should read King's book:

King said he used the information he got on Muslim leaders from law enforcement officials for a plot line in his new novel "Vale of Tears." In the book, a Muslim extremist group cooperates with remnants of the Irish Republican Army to plan a terrorist attack on the United States.

Seems to me that "writing about Catholic extremists" is exactly what he's doing.

Because outside of the Irish blowing each other up, the ONLY acts of international terrorism have been by MUSLIM EXTREMISTS. Or perhaps they aren't extremists at all, but the norm.
