Let’s see. Fort Hood shooter, Muslim. Underpants bomber, Muslim. Times Square bomber, Muslim. Christmas bomber, Muslim. Hmmmm. Could there be some link between these guys that we’re overlooking?
Not if New York Congressman Peter King has anything to say about it. The new chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee says one of the first orders of business for the new Republican majority will be to investigate Muslim radicalization in the United States.
It’s about friggin’ time, isn’t it?
King spoke to Fox News on Sunday and said:
“Fact is, no one had a closer relationship to the Muslim community than I did before September 11. Since then I’ve been disappointed, though, by the number of their leaders who would not cooperate with law enforcement. There are actual cases in this country where imams direct their members not to cooperate with law enforcement on very serious investigations. And when you talk to law enforcement people around the country including this area here they will say they do not yet have the level of support that we need. Now, the overwhelming majority of Muslims are good people. But for whatever reason the people in their leadership are not cooperative and I believe it’s important to have this investigation on radicalization of the Muslim community. We’ve seen what happened in England. We know al Queda is trying to recruit people over here such as they did with the Subway Bomber here in New York last year. The attempted subway bombing, the Times Square bombing – these are all people living legally in the United States.”
