King’s Hearings On Muslim Radicalization: Useless

What has happened to Peter King? The New York congressman’s much-anticipated and controversial hearings on “radicalization” within the American Muslim community are shaping up to be useless, or worse. King said Tuesday, according to Politico, that “he’s not planning to call as witnesses such Muslim community critics as the Investigative Project on Terrorism’s Steve Emerson and Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer.” Instead, King plans to call people with “the real life experience of coming from the Muslim community,” including, of all people, Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN).

In “King Abdicates” in The American Thinker Thursday, Pamela Geller pointed out that Emerson “knows who all the players are and what groups and cells they are affiliated with,” and that “for King to acquiesce in his marginalization is almost criminal.” Ellison, conversely, Geller noted, is “infamous for his pro-Hamas rallies and his pilgrimage to the Hajj in Saudi Arabia, paid for by the Muslim Brotherhood.”
