Peter King remarks about mosques draw Muslim ire
Newsday ^ | 4/18/09 | BART JONES

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."

But he didn't even do that. He said IF WE DID, and he is absolutely right. And yet while he said IF WE DID, muslims attack as as if HE PERSONALLY DID.

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.

God Bless Peter King!

At least there’s one person in Congress with the stones to TELL THE TRUTH!

Semper Fi,

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.

Well, I doubt Homeland Security will be sweeping mosques anytime soon. After all, that would make them angry. Which is an oxymoron. Except when viewing a bombed out bus full of kids, you'll see them smile.

Our government is too busy making war on its own citizens. I think Muslims in this country feel pretty comfortable.

“...Sweeping generalizations about Muslims...”

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!

“Sweeping generalizations about Muslims and mosques have no serious place in our plans for national hegemony.”

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.
