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.

Rep. King is making a seemingly laudable effort in exposing Islam and its ‘militant’ adherents in the US. For PC reasons, hardly any time has been spent by government in investigating the effect that Islam has had since it flooded into the country. In fact, Islam has been referred to as the Religion of Peace (ROP), less than a year after the WTC was destroyed by a Muslim attack. Why should we investigate a peaceful movement, right? No evidence of Islam’s serenity was ever given before or after that disingenuous statement was publicly made.
Mr. King claims that any aggressive behavior of Muslims in the US is a result of Al-Qaeda’s whisperings in the many mosques that now pollute the American skyline. Does Peter King want to bask in the political limelight or is he really that ignorant of world history? Mr. King should consider the following:
Where was AQ when the Christians in Asia Minor and North Africa were given the choice between slaughter and conversion?
Did Charles Martel have to fight AQ at the battle of Poitiers (732 AD), in order to save France from islamization?
Was it the fear for AQ that made the Europeans decide to go on the many Crusades?
Was AQ at the helm of the Muslim ships at the Battle of Lepanto?
Was it AQ that slaughtered more than a million Armenian Christians or was it the Turkish Muslims who were culpable?
Hey Peter, read the Koran and you’ll find no reference to AQ but you’ll discover the reason for Islam’s murderous aggressiveness. The answer can be found in Koranic teachings and it has nothing to do with AQ.
Congressman King, if you want to arrive at the truth of what makes Islam tick, grab the bull by the horns, not by the nuts.
