Tempers flared and tears flowed Thursday at a tense hearing on the radicalization of the American Muslim community.
Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) rejected calls from nearly 100 Democratic members to cancel the highly controversial hearing as he carried out his attempt to explore whether the U.S. Muslim community is being radicalized.
King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said the four-hour hearing was “successful” and announced plans to hold another in the next several months on the radicalization of Muslim Americans in the U.S. prison system.
“This was an extremely productive, worthwhile hearing,” King told reporters after it ended. “I am more convinced than ever that it was the appropriate hearing to hold. We broke down a wall of political correctness on an issue which has to be addressed.”
While members spent much of the hearing itself talking about whether it was proper to hold such a forum, lawmakers did launch a series of questions at four witnesses who have all dealt personally with the issue of Muslim radicalization.

Yet 9 officers are facing disciplinary action for allegedly failing to flag any potential warning signs in the ft hood shooting. If they would have said a thing they would have been tagged as profiling.
Keith Ellison's tear jerking performance was a complete fabrication. He lied, the administration is lying to our face about domestic oil production and the HHS lied about Obamacare savings, Sebellius admitted to double counting. We have a country where our elected officials, our government lies to us routinely and we have no recourse.We are a Socialist rapidly becoming Communist country.
It is great to see how the return to anonymous omments has increased the level of discourse around here.
I realize you will probably not print this Joe (as you normally don't print any of my "anti-anonymous" postings) but it is always interesting to see people mouth-off long and loud about anything they want to when no one knows who they are.
I supposed "being an adult" means different things to different people.
Thanks for posting it Joe.
BTW- the "being an adult" comment was directed at the anon commenters, not you. In my second reading I see where I did not write the post as clearly as I could have.
