Keith Ellison, Muslim Congressman, Breaks Into Tears at King's Hearing

Showing McCarthyism as a negative precedent only points up to the facts that an uninformed media can be as dangerous as the threat itself. An Objective report based on Russian cryptic decoding of KGB files are positive proof that McCartuy's allegations were for the most part true. And in this case those yelling the loudest in protest against the King hearings, are for the most part the ones that have the most to hide, truth be dammed.

Plenty of Muslim groups & individuals have condemned acts of violence committed by radicals -- I've even heard it on mainstream news outlets -- why haven't most of the commenters here?

Mr. Ellison - I am sorry you are hurt but you chose a reliigon assocated with violence for which the rest of the religion has failed to apologize for.

If a devout Christian was to commit an act of terroism he would be disavowed immediately and his victims would be recompensed by the church he belonged to and whose name he committed such atrocities. He would be forgiven and prayed for but most defiantely applogized for.

It may be a small percent that commit the terroist acts but it si a much larger percent that cheer it and burn the American flag.

Muslims kill Muslims because they aren't the right kind of Muslim in the middle east. Muslims kill Hindus in India because they aren't Muslims. Muslims kill Buddists in SE Asia because they aren't Muslims. Muslims kill Christians by the tens of thousands in Africa and enslave tens of thousands more because they aren't Muslims. Muslims kill anybody in Europe, America because they aren't Muslims. And we are at fault for taking a look at Muslims? Really?

Just when there is political/social change occuring in the middle east, Congressman Peter King decides to "channel" Roy Cohn and Lester Maddox, and attack the religious culture of a legitimate faith. Congressman King if you are seeking your fifteen minutes of fame why not investigate "the family", many of your fellow congressmen and senators are members. They are a shadowy and clandestine group or is that just a little bit too close to home.

Peter King is embarking down a perillous path with this hell bent religious focus. He's aware that the facts don't support his reported intentions. You then have to ask yourself what is his real reason. I shudder at the thought that his real intention is to increase the divisness between Muslims and Christians. We only need to refer to historical examples of the immoral and misguided crusades directed at innocent peoples throughout the world. I'm not going to name the victimized groups because its already recorded for all to see. No I am not a Muslim. I am an American citizen who is angry at this so called tactic he's adopted in the name of national security. What the national security threat posed by not adequately educating our youth, the high school drop-out rates, college affordability, under nourished children who are unprepard to learn. Its been said that an ignorant populace is easier to govern/dictate. National Security is dependent upon education, inovation, manufacturing, employment and learning to peacefully coexist on this big rock we share hurtling through space.

Ellison knows full well that King is not lumping all Muslims together. Ellison will change his tune when good Muslims tell us what's going on. And if not for King, they would have no platform.
Ellison shamefully uses the death of an American hero, Mohammad Salman Hamdani, to try and end the hearings.

Can we stand up and cry 3,000 tears for every American killed on 9/11? And can we cry rivers of tears for the people who have been killed by radicals of this faith?

I am a Christian, not a particularly good Christian as I have lots of faults and do not practice my religion as much as I should. Having said that, I can say without hesitation that if I went into a church of any denomination and they asked me to become involved in any type of action that would attack anyone in any manner, I would turn them in and help law enforcement in any way possible to put them out of business. Christ does not ask me to kill random innocent people in his name and he doesn't ask me to condemn other beliefs or people who nave no beliefs. All Muslims that can't say the same thing as I just said about a Christian church about any Islamic Mosque they attend are part of the problem and we need to understand if they cannot say it why can't they?

Great timing. The Middle East is in the midst of a huge change. Attitudes about the United States in the region have not been better in 10 years and Roy Cohn gets resurrrected.. 3 years ago Wall street destroyed the world economy and was bailed out with your house equity and 401k. Today they are back at it better then ever setting records for bonuses two years running. No one went to jail, yet today with just a little slight of hand we find ourselves making teachers, our neighbors and 1 ethnic group the enemy. Honestly you don't see the smile on the face of those that are pulling on the strings? Learn who your real enemy is folks I assure you those who are running these distractions are not laughing with you.
