Dems rip King on Muslim hearings
Politico ^ | March 8, 2011 | Simmi Aujla

Posted on 03/08/2011 11:29:25 AM PST by Free ThinkerNY

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer says New York Republican Rep. Pete King on Tuesday is sending the "wrong message" to Muslim Americans by holding hearings on the radicalization of Islam.

Hoyer said in a statement to POLITICO that the hearings are not "useful" if they only focus on members of one religious group.

"I believe this hearing would have been more useful had it taken a broader look at domestic terror and radicalization. As currently structured, however, I believe it sends the wrong message to the Muslim-American community," he said. "We all need to work together to keep our nation and Americans safe, and we need everyone's cooperation to do so. Targeting one segment of our population is not helpful to that objective."

So, now debate is wrong?

What is it with socialists that they can’t tolerate discussion?

This goes back to the idea of looking for a criminal that is 6 foot tall, blonde hair, 200 pounds. But.....actually search little old ladies first.

It’s about the bottom line. Hey all you Muslims, support the Democrat Party. We’re on your side!

if they only focus on members of one religious group.

So, hold hearings on the radicalization of Muslims and Presbyterians.

“muslim Americans” is an invalid term. there is no such thing.

remember this, boys and girls - they ALL read and obey the SAME book and are members of the SAME cult which has one goal - make the whole world an islamic state.

Hee, hee, ho, ho! How about if we only focus on members of ANY religion that teaches it’s members to go to war with and kill “infidels” or blow themselves up to kill others in the name of their “god”.

I believe it would still focus on the same people though.

These people are idiots. Seriously. They seem to have lost all capacity for logical though.

It’s the old “when everybody’s guilty, nobody’s guilty” ploy.

And the dems know it.

Tough. No PC kowtowing this time libs. It’s easy to define the problem. Let’s search for a reasonable solution.

It’s that reasonable solution the muzzies and their marxist brothers don’t want us to find.

Dim Steny Hoyer said " I believe it sends the wrong message to the Muslim-American community. We all need to work together to keep our nation and Americans safe, and we need everyone's cooperation to do so".

Wrong message?? We ALL need to "work together" to keep our nation safe? Problem is, there's ONE group, Mr. Hoyer, who doesn't seem to agree with your kumbayah philosophy! And this is the radical group Rep. King is bringing attention to.

A Muslim swearing loyalty the US Constitution would be a meaningless gesture. Lying or swearing falsely in order to further the cause of Islam is a completely acceptable and honorable practice for them. Loyalty to the US Constitution and to Sharia’ Law are mutually exclusive. They cannot co-exist.

Time to ratchet up the rhetoric - Democrats would rather Americans die than allow congress to exercise its consititutionally mandated authority.

Democrat enabled PC killed 3000 American civilians ten years ago, and dozens since.

Who can deny the radical element present among muslim americans - ask America if we agree it should be ignored.

We need to allow time for an equally critical examination of Amish extremism.

Hoyer said in a statement to POLITICO that the hearings are not "useful" if they only focus on members of one religious group.

Memo to Hoyer: The one "religious" group in question is responsible for nearly every terrorist attack in the world today. And the vast majority of its members either secretly support or turn a blind eye to the terrorism their co-cultists commit.

I think we should also have hearings on a certain ultra-leftist political party that defends every single group of degenerates in the entire world who make it their mission to destroy America. Whaddya say, Steny?
