Peter King, Louis Farrakhan and Radical Muslims

In what some people are calling as "McCarthy" style series of Congressional hearings, New York Congressman Peter King, recently elected as Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, began a series of investigative hearings into radical Muslims in the United States yesterday. This is not to say that all Muslims are bad people, a handful of them are good people and I'm happy to say that I have friends who practice Muslim as a religion.

However there are a few bad apples right here in America and in the Middle East.

In the last two years, there have been several attacks on our country's soil by radical Muslims. Yet, the Department of Homeland Security and the Obama Administration continue to all but deny this. The shooter who screamed "Allah" after murdering soliders at a Fort Hood army base in Texas, the Time Square and Underwear bombers and a young boy named Carlos Leon Bledsoe who converted to Jihad. All of these cases in the last couple of years, were carried about by Radical Muslims.

Yesterday, the father of Carlos Leon Bledsoe gave testimony at Congressman King's Committee hearings and expressed a great deal of sorrow that there was nothing he could have done to prevent his son from becoming a radical Jihad which ultimately concluded in the fatal shooting of a U.S. solider at a Little Rock training base in 2009 all in the name of Allah.

But apparently, the Congressional hearings are all but ignored by just about everyone in the media. So much so that CNN, MSNBC and Fox News did not even bother to bring much attention to the hearings, nor did C-SPAN even bother to broadcast it live.

However one commentator on CNN, Fareed Zakaria said today " There is no question we should be investigating the radicalization of American Muslims.  But by “we” I mean the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local law enforcement, not Peter King".

Wrong Fareed.

Congress has ultimate responsibility and oversight of every branch of the Federal Government, including the President. Congress has, for the better part of several years, tried to persuade the FBI, CIA and the Department of Homeland Security to investigate radical Muslims in America, which the far-left apparently didn't like. And yet, the far-left still doesn't like to investigate this. President Obama won't even mention it as a critical problem happening right now inside the United States. As far as Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano are concerned? Well, they don't "have the time".

Meanwhile we have Gaddafi killing his own people in Libya, and last week Louis Farrakhan, who is the leader of a group called The Nation of Islam in Chicago and not to mention a friend of President Obama, gives a speech saying Gaddafi is not killing his own people and that the "Jews in America are the devil".

No condemnation from Obama or Holder. Tell me something, is Obama's friend Louis Farrakhan a radical Muslim in America?

I think so.
