Attorney General warns against alienating Muslims
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday warned against alienating the U.S. Muslim community, in a veiled criticism of a congressional probe into the radicalization of Muslims at home.
The House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee will open a series of hearings on Thursday about the increasing terrorism threat against the United States, with the first hearing drawing criticism because of its sole focus on Muslim Americans.
The panel chairman, New York Republican Representative Peter King, has repeatedly criticized, saying the Muslim American community has not cooperated with law enforcement agencies and that some mosques encourage radicalization.
But Holder said that leaders and members of the Muslim community in the United States “have contributed significantly” to resolving cases and also said focusing on a single constituency was risky.
“Tips that we have received, information that has been shared has been critical to our efforts to disrupting plots that otherwise might have occurred,” Holder told reporters during a news conference on another issue.
“My focus is on individuals as opposed to communities and I think that is what we need to be focused on, what is it that drives individuals to do certain things,” he said. “We don’t want to stigmatize, we don’t want to alienate entire communities.”
King has repeatedly defended the need for the hearings and the focus on Muslims, citing attempts by the militant group al Qaeda and its affiliates to openly recruit Muslims in the United States to launch attacks.
Wild Thing’s comment……
Muslilms should worry about alienating us. If there are moderate muslims then they should be all for this hearing and speak out about how they want it done.
There is no threat to America from radical islam. The threat is from islam -PERIOD. islam is evil, its oppressive, its about torture and murder. islam can not coexist with freedom and liberty and that is why it has declared war on America. Islam and the US Constitution are incompatible.
Several years ago Steven Emerson produced for PBS an excellent video titled Jihad In America. Its cameras went directly inside cell groups associated with mosques here in America where eager young Muslims were being recruited for jihad against the United States. Muslim leaders are shown giving speeches about bringing America to its knees through terrorism…. terrorists act in direct obedience to Muhammad, the Qur’an, Allah and Islam.
Know we are with in spirit and prayer Rep. King. Don’t give in and don’t give up.
From The Audacity of Hope by Barack Hussein Obama: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
EXCUSE me, but Muslims are the ones that:
Below is information my a page at my website……the page titled……Terroriosts
“Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. Islam doesn’t look for a nation to be in better condition than another nation. Islam doesn’t care about the land or who own the land.The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power in this world that tries to get in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.” -Mawlana Abul Ala Mawdudi, founder of Pakistan’s fundamentalist movement

Although few in town noticed, a (now two dozen) dozen years ago Islamic extremists from around the globe flocked to Kansas City’s Bartle Hall to bond in prayer, song and dance, and ominous appeals for bloodshed. They came by the hundreds to promote jihad, or holy struggle, at two conventions during a pivotal time for radical Islam – December 1989 and again the next winter.

As long as there is one infidel(non-muslim) in the world muslims will be angry. Their reaction to the hearings is why the hearings are necessary. There are too many in America. They have been pouring in for the past 30* years. Bush should have curtailed their immigration after 9/11. muslims are why I buy ammo.
CRUSADERS UP! Holy Shiite Batman from THE CAPED CRUSADER, eh? I fear the one true GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and not false gods…
I’m with ISRAEL and John Hagee all the way!
If there is another bombing here in America and
I was a Muslim, I would haul ass out of dodge as
fast as I could…
Thank you all so much for the great input.
Bob, thank you for the link. WOW!!!!!
The United Sttes was founded after the revolutionary war to fight off Muslims The Muslim were attacking the southern colonies based on their belief that they are owed tribute by all non-Muslims. The “more perfect union…” of the Constitutional Convension was one to raise a navy to eradicate Muslims.
The big secret is that for purpooses of Government none of the founders considered Islam to be a religion. The Muslim Way was considered to be the organizing documents for roaming bands of bandits and pirates. To be a religion an organiztion had to rise to a much higher standard than Islam.
You are correct Avitar, muslim/izlim is not a religion. It is a pedophile idolizing, blood thirsty, death loving cult. It must be confronted head on and destroyed before it destroys us all.
