The Mayor V. The Congressman
Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Mayor Michael Bloomberg yesterday lashed out at Rep. Peter King (R-NY) for suggesting that Congress hold hearings on radical Islam. Mayor Bloomberg is hailed by some as a possible "moderate alternative" presidential candidate in 2012. But when asked by reporters yesterday about King's planned hearings on Islamic radicalization, the mayor responded, "I think we probably part company quite severely. I don't happen to agree with him that that's necessary."
Rep. Peter King: We'll Investigate Muslim Radicalization Mayor Bloomberg might not think the hearings are necessary, but Islamic radicalization is keeping Attorney General Eric Holder awake at night. Holder gave a chilling interview with ABC News warning about the increasing threat we face from homegrown Islamic radicals.
Noting that 50 of 126 people indicted on terror charges in the past two years are American citizens, Holder told ABC: "It is one of the things that keeps me up at night. You didn't worry about this even two years ago -- about individuals, about Americans, to the extent that we now do. And that is of great concern. The threat has changed from simply worrying about foreigners coming here, to worrying about people in the United States -- American citizens -- raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born."As I wrote yesterday, Rep. King's hearings on Islamic radicalization are long overdue. Attorney General Holder should be among the first to testify so we can find out exactly what the Obama Administration is doing to prevent Islamic radicalization in America.
Speaking of things radical, our friends at the Media Research Center gave their "Ground Zeroes Award" to Christiane Amanpour for "impugning Americans as Islamophobic." She earned this dubious distinction during an exchange with yours truly on an episode of This Week entitled, "Should Americans Fear Islam?” Below is the exchange: [video] /dir>Tags:Gary Bauer, Campaign for Working Families, New York, Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, Representative, Peter King, radical IslamTo share or post to your site, click on "Post Link".
