Incoming House homeland security chair plans hearings on Muslim radicalization

Font Size:

Representative Peter King (R-NY) says he’ll call for hearings into the radicalization of Muslim Americans when he takes over as chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security in the new congressional term.

In an interview on FOX’s “America Live,” King said “We have to break through this politically correct nonsense which keeps us from debating and discussing what I think is one of the most vitally important issues in this country. We are under siege by Muslim terrorists and yet there are Muslim leaders in this country who do not cooperate with law enforcement.”

And he also notes a rise in terrorist recruitment in the United States saying, “We have the reality that Al-Qaida is trying to recruit Muslim-Americans, and yet we have people in the Muslim community who refuse to face up to this.”
