Hearings on radical Islam snub top experts
2011-01-23
King caves.
Rep. Peter King says he won't be calling what Politico calls "Muslim community critics" such as Steve Emerson and Robert Spencer. Politico unveils King's white flag over the witness list by calling it "a move that will come as a relief to Muslim leaders."
which should be a red flag, no?
So why bother to hold hearings on "radical Islam" at all, if self-censorship prevents a full discussion of sharia and jihad?

#2  After reading TW's comment:

We'll see. Let's wish him the best. A few prayers wouldn't hurt. A good pointed question or two, or even better, some inadvertent honesty from witnesses could do wonders.

#1  I don't know... I think there is enough internal evidence archived at MEMRI and Camera and the FBI, which America's Muslim organizations need to be challenged on. The first round of responses can guide the choice of the second round of witnesses, which can then include Messrs Emerson and Spenser... or Ayaan Hirsi Ali and that apostate son of a Hamas leader now living in California. The bench for this kind of thing is very, very deep in the U.S., and Congressman King is not going after Islam per se, but after those advocating the jihad of the sword, which hopefully means those Muslim Brotherhood groups CAIR, the Muslim Student Association, ISNA... or for contrast he can interview some Ahmadiyyas or one of the several groups of Muslims and former Muslims speaking out against the jihadis.
