DEARBORN, Mich. Finishing law school is a challenge for Dewnya Bakri-Bazzi, but being an American and a Muslim can be downright exhausting.
As she crammed before class this week, Bakri-Bazzi caught up on testimony from a congressional hearing on the radicalization of U.S. Muslims. She contends Rep. Peter King, the New York Republican who called it, is ignoring the positive steps Muslims have taken in fighting terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Bakri-Bazzi, president of the Muslim Legal Society at Thomas M. Cooley Law School's Detroit area campus, says she fears Thursday's hearing will only spark backlash against innocent members of her community just going about their lives.
"When people look at me walking down the street, they'll feel like I'm an al-Qaida radicalist," said Bakri-Bazzi, who lives in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, home to one of the nation's largest populations of Arabs and Muslims.

Two weeks before King scheduled the hearings, the White House said that Al Qaida is making strong efforts to recruit muslims in America. That was the end of the statement. King, instead of ignoring the problem, is trying to better understand it and possibly solve it.
So who gets the bad press? King, for doing his job, of course.
Gotta be a damned short list if you ask me.
All I hear from CAIR and such is bitching about how tough things are for Muslims. Want to impress me, bitch that much about the radicals then we can talk...
Hell saying anything about them would be a start..
try being a Christian anywhere in mooselimb ville pal.
Exactly what I was getting at! The story is BS, but you should read the comments. Every one I read, and I read several pages of them, were all like the comments you all posted here. Americans are sick of Muslims whining about how bad they have it. People want them to leave.
If she’s worried about her safety she probably has more to
fear from her father, brother and/or uncle than America.
Call her a Whaaaambulance!
Oh the hell with it, these morons never defend their adopted country if so when and where? F them all and send them back before we have to defend ourselves.
In the US, Islam is sedition. They should move to Canada and take over that country.
Then leave... go home.
I’ve waited 10 years for you rag-heads to denounce the Islamist... you failed, now leave or feel miserable. You are not one of us and you never will be.
I read some of the comments also and you’re right...Americans are fed up. They’ve even infiltrated my podunk little town here in Missouri by buying businesses. It’s just so tough here... /s
See #24. You should read the comments after the story at yahoo. That is the real story.
That’s a horrible thing to wish on our northern neighbors.
The answer is to stop defending yourselves. Defend the US. Defend your American neighbors. Defend civilization. Do that and you'll have no need to defend yourselves.
Its because too few muslims will do that, that they are under suspicion. Its because too many muslims make excuses for barbarism that they are under suspicion. But this is a simple problem to solve though it is a dangerous one if you're muslim; you just have to stand unequivocally against the jihadists and that can get you killed. So they duck and weave, when they aren't openly in sympathy with the barbarians. Thats the root of their problem. They are trying to defend the indefensible, or they are afraid to condemn it and want us to give them a pass.
ROLF!!!!!
Fine. They can haul their camel flea ridden backsides back to satanallahs sandbox!
Indeed, and at the very least, adherents to this evil cult are seditious. Islam does NOT belong in our beloved, blessed country.
I’m past exhausted by their presence in MY country.
If that's the case then you aren't acclimating to our society enough.
Go and play in your sand box with your own kind.
