Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has brought back a two-thousandsies form of McCarthyism. Instead of checking under your beds for communists, you should be looking for Muslims. Since McCarthyism is known as the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without any regard for evidence, I would say these hearings on "radical" Muslim Americans fits nicely into that description. I wonder when the hearing's are going to start on "radical" Christians? They kill doctors who perform abortions, they shoot up gay friendly churches, they blow up government buildings, they form militia groups intent on overthrowing the government, etc...
I wanted to share this video (03-10-11) of a very emotional Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), (our first Muslim-American congressman) describing a young Muslim-American hero who was killed on 9/11, and was wrongly assumed to be part of the terrorist group based on the identification of his remains. Mohammed Salman Hamdani, was a 23-year-old firefighter who was extremely proud to be an American and gave it all for the country he loved.
