Well ... one group is a couple hundred violent, threatening political terrorists hiding out in Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan.

The other are a few billion peaceful, normal, average people, including millions of your fellow Americans.

Confirm that the problem is a teeny, tiny wingnut crazy minority who co-opts a radical view of an entire religion for their own political purpose? It's already been confirmed. We pretty well know the type of unhappy young male that is "targeted" by radicals (of all stripes).

There is no comparison at all between killing and hate words, obviously, but radicalized religious terrorists don't represent Islam any more than Westboro Baptist represents Christians.

I'd say its the difference between 10% and 0.00001% but who cares about those differences.

besides.. the radical Muslims have caused a hell of a lot more problems than westboro baptist.

Do you even remember 9/11? you sure dont act like it.

No, except just in the sentence I wrote, that you are responding to. Geeshus cripes ....

yeah we've been fighting a 10 year war against a couple hundred people.

try

100,000,000 Muslims who support a radical version of Islam.

Repeatedly quoting that pulled-from-thin-air number doesn't help your case.

Yes - there are only a couple hundred, or less, of Al Quaeda left.

my number of 100,000,000 are people who support a radical version of Islam. aka support Sharia Law (but you already knew that as I've said it a million times - you just like to misrepresent things quite often). it is estimated to be 10% of Muslims.

If anything... my number is low. Its probably more like 150,000,000

That number is ridiculous, and was made up, pulled out of thin air and spread in the fear-mongering wing of American media. There is zero validation for it.

I am all for objectivity. You've never been able to post any verifiable origin for that number. Please, do.

Pete King admission undermines his own case for anti-Muslim hearings
By Adam Serwer

Is Pete King backing away from his own stated reasons for holding hearings on Muslim radicalization this week?

On CNN this weekend, King seemed to quietly do just that, making an interesting admission in an exchange with Dem Rep. Keith Ellison. They were debating King's decision to focus his hearings solely on Muslims, and King's argument contained a telling walkback:

"We're talking about al Qaeda," King said. "There's been self radicalization going on within the Muslim community, within a very small minority, but it's there and that's where the threat is coming from at this time."

On the eve of his own hearings, King is finally acknowledging that only a "very small minority" of Muslims actually pose a danger to the U.S. But this statement is exactly the opposite of what King has been saying all along.

Recall that King first justified holding these hearings on the basis of a fabricated statistic that "80 percent" of American mosques are radicalized, and that "the Muslim community does not cooperate [with authorities] anywhere near to the extent that it should."

In 2007, he called American Muslims "an enemy living amongst us." Now he's saying it's "a very small minority" that he's worried about.

Robert Costa obtained the list of witnesses for King's hearings, and, tellingly, King isn't calling anyone who will be able to corroborate his years of outrageous allegations, or even the argument he gave for holding the hearings in the first place:

National Review Online has obtained the list of witnesses set to appear at Rep. Peter King's hearings on radicalization within the American Muslim community: Abdirizak Bihi, the brother of Burhan Hassan's mother; Melvin Bledsoe, the father of Carlos Bledsoe (Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad); Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, an Arizona physician and military veteran; Lee Baca, the sheriff of Los Angeles County; Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.); Rep. Frank Wolf (R., Va.).
