Demonizing Muslims

Peter King’s hearings pander to religious extremists as well as white supremacists

THE Muslim Americans find themselves in the spotlight all over again. Representative Peter King has taken it upon himself to “save America” from Islam and Muslims, claiming that the community is a clear and present danger to the Land of the Free. The Congressman from New York claims that 85 percent of mosques in the US are run by terrorists and that the Muslim community has not just failed to “stop the radicalization” in its midst, it has become a grave threat to the country. So King has been holding his own court, conducting “public hearings” about the threat of “extremist Islam” to the American way of life.

Now the great melting pot that America is, it has its fair share of all sorts of freaks and fruitcakes. So these rants by King shouldn’t excessively worry the thriving Muslim community in the US or the American society at large. But King is not just like any other politician or lawmaker. He heads the powerful House Homeland Security Committee.

The issue is so serious that in the run-up to the hearings, the White House had to issue a statement affirming its faith in the Muslim community. Several rights groups have also held demonstrations protesting against King’s hearings that are completely one-sided and unabashedly pander to religious extremists and white supremacists. Many in the US media, including the New York Times, have condemned King’s rants against Muslims and ridiculous claims about the community being some sort of fifth column as being “foolish and dangerous.”

However, the damage inflicted by King’s dangerous shenanigans is likely to last long and is bound to add to the woes of the diverse minority community that has already been pushed to the margins after the outrage of 9/11 strikes. Islamophobia in the US and across the Atlantic in Europe has already touched alarming levels. Memories of the storm set off by the vicious campaign against a community center-mosque near the World Trade Center and a Florida priest’s threat to burn the Holy Qur’an last year are still fresh in the minds of Muslims.

The Muslim community has demonstrated admirable restraint, courage and understanding to deal with the blistering wave of anti-Muslim sentiment following the 9/11 attacks and has bent over backward to address the US authorities’ demands and concerns about potential terrorists in its midst. This despite the fact that nearly half of terror plots were thwarted with the help provided by Muslim groups. As Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Boca insisted at the hearing on Thursday, the Muslim Americans have played a crucial role in “securing our homeland.” More important, the majority of terror attacks since 9/11 were plotted by non-Muslims, especially white supremacists and Christian extremists. Examples include the failed Martin Luther King parade bomber; Jared Lee Loughner, the Arizona shooter who killed six people and Joseph Stack who flew his plane into an IRS building last year. At least a thousand hate groups and anti-government zealots currently operate in the US. So this targeting and demonization of Muslims is not just absurd, it’s downright dangerous. Especially by someone like King who not long ago defended the terrorist attacks by the IRA. That such a hate campaign should be encouraged and tolerated by the Republicans, one of the two main political parties, is most unfortunate and disturbing. For the nuts like King are not just a threat to Muslims and religious peace, they’re a mortal danger to the very idea of America.

My only comment here is that because of September 11 I don't trust them. Too fanatical, care very little about their own lives to care about the lives of others. Hate seems to move them all the contrary to what the Prophet preached. The hate for others is grater than the love for their own.

Peter King is a disgrace to America and all fair minded Americans (Muslims included). His contemptuous grand standing and witch-hunting goes contrary to what America stands for. His belief that American Muslims are radicalized is totally misplaced. If anything it is the law abiding Muslims that has helped the law enforcement agencies in thwarting 7(seven) of the last 11(eleven) terrorist attempts in America. If anything, King's hearings only give fuel to the fire where the right and other fringe groups get a carte blanche to inflict terror on all minorities including and especially Muslims. As chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, which has the most amount of money to lay waste, this witch-hunting will allow King and his cohorts to extort more money from the Congress to insure their personal success. This whole charade only strengthens the radical right and if any one seriously looks, it's not going to be the Muslims who will get hurt but all of America because these kinds of hearings will allow the radicals within the American society to emerge out of their slumber and in the guise of patriotism will then terrorize one and all that oppose their sick and hateful philosophy. Thank God for the Faith based groups, the fair minded clergy and others like ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), New York Times etc. that are keeping a watchful eye on these proceedings and keeping the people informed of this witch-hunt.

I have seen no evidence that King is doing anything other than making an inquiry without preconceived notions and the investigation should be allowed to play out. It seems to me that it is valid to concentrate on investigating Muslims because it is principally Muslims who are committing most acts of terror in th United States. It seems to me that American Muslims should be supportive of this investigation because Muslims are as likely as anyone else to be victimized by terrorist attacks upon civilians.

This is another one of those editorials claiming victimhood for Muslims with plenty of veiled threats. Sorry, but the American public is not buying it. According to the most recent Rasmussen Report conducted March 8-9, 2011:

[...Most voters don’t believe their fellow citizens are unfair to Muslim Americans. They also think Muslims in this country (America) should be louder in their criticism of potential domestic terrorist attacks...only 10% of all voters think American Muslims are speaking out enough against potential terrorist attacks in the United States...Most Americans now fear that the political unrest in Arab nations like Egypt and Libya may get America into another big war. 

But 80% of voters now think terrorism is a bigger threat to the country than traditional wars.  Seventy-three percent (73%) fear a terrorist threat more than a nuclear attack... ]


These are Congressional hearings, NOT a witch hunt! People are testifying as to why Muslims are radicalized and why not enough is done by the Muslim community against terror. If most terrorist were Lutherans from Minnesota, then there would be hearings on those.

No Muslims are being denied their rights, jobs, housing or equal treatment under the law. Muslims are not being rounded up en masse and imprisoned, killed or deported. Which is more than one can say for nonMuslims in Islamic states.

Saudis demand that the kingdoms values be respected. Guess what, Americans demand the same in their country. Respect American laws and values or leave. The article claims that the hearings are demonizing Muslims. That is an unmitigated lie. It is Muslims who demonize the west and everything that is nonMuslim. One can read plenty of that right here at Arab News every day of the week.

Americans have memories too. They remember many unprovoked attacks by Muslim terrorists on Americans and others since 1979. Americans remember seeing photos and videos of Muslims celebrating, dancing in the streets and passing out sweets after the 9/11 attacks. The Palestinians are today celebrating the recent murders of a whole family, including little children, by once again passing out sweets.

That sort of savage behavior does not show Muslims in a good light.


The idea of America is in no danger. Muslims in America are in no danger. They can live freely like all other people in the U. S. Terrorism is the greater mortal danger to Muslims, because terrorists target, maim and kill more Muslims than nonMuslims.

Only Muslims can stop islamist terror. Once terror is stopped by Muslims, there will be no need for any more Congressional hearings.

Just after 9/11, I said it and I have said it many times over,that it was an inside job.
It was orchestrated and staged, to get into Iraq and afghanistan. Despite there being no approval of the UN Security Council, that illegal war goes on, where they are bogged down..Millions have been killed and "trillions" spent to kill them.More Americans have been killed in this war than those killed on 9/11.
There have been cartoons, threatened Quran burnings and what not , all
to blame Islam for the problems created by their democracy and capitalism.
Take a count and you will find that more and more Christians are abandoning their religion and becoming Muslims. Take a count and you
will find that there are more Qurans than American Flags being sold.
The more you go on the offensive against Islam, you will find it counterproductive.It has been proved in history.
However much muslims are demonized.its growing.
As Nishtar suggests Islam is the answer, it is the solution, not
the problem as misread by most people.

The drama scripted by the west is now slowly unfolding. Demonizing of the muslims has been systematically scripted and developed over the years. Two immediate effects were seen in the recent past as an outcome of this demonization ; invasion of Iraq, which was totally unprovoked and based on a white lie and second was the invasion of Afghanistan supposedly done to make America more safe. Now there have been no more 9/11 not because security have been enhanced but America will not create any more 9/11 because its objective has been achieved. OR then may be not because more plans seems to be in the offing. The unrest in the whole of middle east seems to be the convert operation of the west. The west will justify its invasion in to the middle east to its own people (tax payers) saying that it is bringing democracy to the beleagured nations of the middle east while actually increasing its direct presence in this region besides the oil which it will get as a bonus. Muslims probably cant help being what they are but they can help the situation by being less involved, engrossed and identified with their religion and pay more attention to their abilities of hard work which should be innovative.

I would like to respond to Nishthar Idroos. Nishthar contemptuously asks Americans to embrace Islam in order to solve "their problems". This is ludicrous because as far as I am aware of Americans are doing well. This hearing was conducted by a man who had his own agenda. We cannot associate the conduct or the behaviour of one man to the whole nation. Nishthar's suggestion is also similar to Mr. King's as he seems to have little respect for other people's religions.

Letter sent to Peter King:

Dear Representative King:

If you want to discuss decreasing terrorism, you need to discuss support for terrorist states like Israel. How Israel came into existence cannot be ignored if justice and peace is to be achieved. Support for the creation of a nation as a result of ethnic cleansing and support from colonial powers is unacceptable. Accepting the creation of Israel and rejecting the rights of Palestinians is tantamount to not only accepting but also rewarding the following:

• In 1918 the reality on the ground was that Jews owned about 2% of the total land area of Palestine and were 8% of the population. • In 1948 Jews dispossessed over 800,000 Palestinians from over 500 towns and villages. • After 1948, 92% of the land that became Israel was formerly Palestinian. • The land was not sold or freely given up. There were expulsions, military assaults, massacres, and fear of assaults and terrorism.

Examples of the later, as pointed out by the Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs, include:

• 1948 April 9: Irgun and Stern Gangs lead by Menahem Begin and Yitzhaq Shamir massacre 245 Palestinians in the village of Deir Yassin, western suburb of Jerusalem. • April 11: Haganah destroy village of Kalonia near Qastel and occupy Deir Yassin. • April 30: All Palestinian quarters in West Jerusalem occupied by Haganah and Palestinians were driven out.

Many politicians condemn the response of Israel’s neighbors as being “constant aggression.” This is ignoring the right of Palestinians to resist the impositions of colonial powers and Israel’s mass expulsions and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The only possible reasons for ignoring these acts stem from a lack of concern for the rights of Palestinians. I have no doubt that if Palestinians had had our support, they would not have attacked and killed civilians. If they are given their just rights, they would not resort to attacking civilians. The American civil rights slogan, “No justice, no peace,” is more than slogan. It’s a reality.

Many politicians insist that “the United States enjoys shared democratic values.” I’m wondering if those values include support for Israel’s Law of Return and rejection the Palestinians Right of Return. The Law of Return 5710-1950 reads as follows: “Right of aliyah (immigration of Jews). 1. Every Jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh (Jew immigrating, into Israel).” The Palestinian Right of Return is clearly expressed by Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, which affirms that the Palestinian Arab people, regardless of their religious affiliation, are indigenous to Palestine. Therefore, they are entitled to live anywhere in Palestine which encompasses present-day "Israel", the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Al-Awda regards the "Israeli" definition of Jewish nationals, granting exclusive rights to citizenship and land to any Jew from anywhere in the world, as part of the racism and discrimination inherent in Zionist ideology which underlies the policies and laws of the settler state of "Israel".

Not only is the Right of Return morally correct, but is also legally correct.

Al-Awda presents a three point legal basis. It reads: 1. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 13 affirms: "Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and return to his country." 2. The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination [Article 5 (d)(ii)], states: "State parties undertake to prohibit and to eliminate racial discrimination on all its forms and to guarantee the right of everyone, without distinction as to race, color, or national or ethnic origin, to equality before the law, notably in the enjoyment of ... the right to leave any country, including one's own, and to return to one's country." 3. The International Convention on Civil and Political Rights [Article 12(4)], states: "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country."

Some politicians insist that Israel is “a reliable and valuable partner in meeting U.S. goals for stabilization in the region.” This position bewilders me. It bewilders me why the U.S. only speaks of peace and stabilization in the Middle East and never mentions justice. Is it because of attempts to avoid addressing the issues of ethnic cleansing, mass expulsion, Israel’s being founded on terrorism and support of colonial powers, and the acceptance of Israel’s Law of Return and rejection of Palestinians’ Right of Return? This policy reminds me of the policy towards Native Americans and rebellious enslaved Africans. That policy is embodied in the following. On March 5, 1821 President James Monroe said in his Second Inaugural Address: President Chester A. Arthur wrote in the Annual Message of the President to the Senate and House, "it is confidently hoped that serious outbreaks will not again occur and that the Indian tribes which have far so many years disturbed the West will hereafter remain in peaceable submission" (12/4/1883). Stabilization of the Middle East via ethnic cleansing and military might is unacceptable.

Why the increase in terrorism? One answer is the total unwillingness for politicians, government officials and the media to have a discuss or hearing concerning the blind support for Israel. Sincerely, Antar I. Smith, Ph.D. Near Eastern Studies

Peter King is a man who has lost any semblance of credibility since before these hearings began. He is known in the USA as a man who has made deals with the Devil, by funding and promoting Irish terrorist groups for many years.
It's also very true that there are many non-Muslims in the USA who have been committing terrorist crimes which the Western media outrageously blamed upon Muslims w/o any shred of proof.

Just to name a few is Eric Rudolf, who hid in the underground caves of North Carolina and eluded our law enforcement agencies including the FBI, for many years. Another is Ted Kozinski, the Unibomber who also did the same, until his own brother turned him in. There are many more such terrorists who bombed clinics in the USA due to their extreme Christian views.
The Jewish extremists in America have also killed innocents whose crimes were downplayed in many American news sites.

In NYC just this past week, some well known American celebrities took part in a protest against King's diabolical hearings. By showing their support for the Muslim community, they shed light on a dirty little secret known as bigotry. Thank goodness for such Americans who reflect the genuine aspirations, hopes and dreams the United State's Founding Fathers and its Constitution. Peter King has done a fine job of trying to shred this great document with his abuse of Constitutional powers which he should have never been granted by the voters of New York. It's high time he was voted out of power.

A lot of reactionary 'Who? Us? We are victims also!' comments. Peter king has made it clear a number of times that a majority of muslims are law abiding.

There is a sectionof muslims that believe in a sterile, intolerant and contemptous islam. They view ALL others as not worthy of any importance threatening not only non muslims but also the vast majority of muslims.

I am no sure how alluding to this is 'witch humting'. Its interesting to note that there are more buddhists in the US than muslims yet they are not a source of any phobias. Why is that ? Its simple.

Some muslims are inflexible and want all the advantages of living in the west but reject the civic responsibilities that accompany it. Its not how it works. If muslims are not cognisant of this fact, ther are many 'muslim' countries out there to emigrate to. Expats in KSA have such a fulfilling life after all.

Islam is welcome in the US, but intolerance is not. As long as it will be projected from muslims towards others, it will be reciprocated. When the muslim world sheds its own prejudice, that will stop people from viewing it with suspicion. Till that time, expect scrutiny. None of us need a bomb to explode to end my life because some zealot thinks its the 'right' islamic thing to do.

@NISHTAR How can Islam save America, when we see this foaming unrest in the Ummah. After 1400 years of Islam in the M.E., there still is this political, social and economic unrest and injustice. It is true, that the majority of American muslims are law abiding citizens, however it is also true, that muslim radicalisation happens in jails, universities and mosques. This has to be adressed and these concerns are very legitimate. Remember that radical muslims hurt other muslims a lot more, than that they hurt Americans.

i just have one question, if the USA authorities say these 12 people did 9/11 then how come some of them were alive and in different countries?? the US of A should look into it and see if they have some teleporter device... but if they are alive and were not involved then who were? we know that 12 people did it... but based on the fact that some weren't involved and not on the plabe so how come they say these are the people? the initial investigation up to the final and the events which that 9/11 lead to... (Afghanistan & Iraq) should be looked into and investigated. this adds and plays into the hands of those who use this to further their own personal agendas. so i would suggest the just King to also hold a open public investigation and trial on this also.

U Madha I think you need to get yourself educated on the ACLU and the NYT. The ACLU is against all forms of regilion having sued schools, states and even the U.S. Government for the word God being displayed on public buildings, in books, on TV, etc. They also support homosexual parents where adopted children are put with homosexual parents. Is'nt this against the teachings of Islam? The NYT continious runs articles prompting homsexuals in the schools teaching explict sex acts to children as young as 5 years old, constantly state that regilion is a dead issue. And yet you praise these people who are against any form of regilion? Even Obama has announced that he will not support the law of the land in the marriage of one man and a woman and 34,000 of the Black Churchs arcoss America complained as this is against the word of God.
We must all get a grip on the realities of the situation. We have rogue elements trying hard to kill as many Americans as possible using the name of Islam. The mothers and fathers all Muslim are testifying before this body and telling how their children have been lost to this madness and are now dead or in jail for planning mass murder of people they do not even know. I am very sorry my friend, but, Al Qada is not Islam it is a group of people bent on death and more death..

No one should condemn Islam to any mistakes that human being has been doing especially mistakes of muslim people. Islam is absolutely and completely different from the so called muslim. Islam is perfect, it is the complete way of life, the total submission to the Will of God Almighty who Created the seen and the unseen. Though muslims are the followers of Islam, it does not denote muslims as perfect as well. Any human being regardless of his belief is always subject to error and mistakes and has given the rights and freedom to choose by God Almighty. I appeal to each and everyone to find out and discover what really the teachings of Islam are. May God Almighty guide us all to the right path. The path of those on whom God Almighty has bestowed His Grace and not the path of those who earned His Anger nor of those who went astray.

By the way, Islam is not a race, it is a religion. And the whole notion of why haven't the American Muslim community spoken out against the radicals is idiotic. I don't see any hearings on why white people haven't spoken out and condemend the KKK, WBC, Neo Nazis, or the other 1000 hate groups formed in the US. Why is that? Because those hate groups and radicals form a MINORITY in the community! Why should millions be condemned and demonized for a few? Why hasn't Peter King been put under investigation for funding the IRA, which both the US and UK governments have labeled it as a terrorist organization? No community should be demonized because a minority in that community has done, or is plotting to do, awful things. Singling out a certain group of people based on religion or race is called bigotry, and Peter King is a bigot in every sense of the word.

After all I congratulate every individual in the west for laboriously striving to demonize Islam and Muslims. First and foremost it’s a brilliant strategy to keep Islam and its teachings at bay. No ideology ever in the history of the world provided this kind of stiff competition to democracy, market economics and the trilingual god. Well, if I say that Islam will come out unscathed and with a tumultuous triumph, people like George from NY will heap a torrent of delectable verbiage on me. The fact of the matter is whether he likes it or not Islam is coming strong and it will soon roar. Americas 300 million plus Christian population will be reduced substantially with the type of reversion with conviction that’s taking place now.

The word "terrorism" is so politically and emotionally charged that it is hard to define although it does not mean random acts of violence committed by individuals not representing any group or specific philosophy. In other words there must be a component of coercion not simply a motive of hate. Sadly, the editorialist uses examples of terrorist attacks by non-muslims since 9/11 that do not fit any rational definition of terrorist.
Peter King is holding these hearings to understand why so many young Islamic males have been commiting acts of terror around the world in the name of their faith. Fair question.

Indeed the American Muslim community are our greatest allies in the fight against extremists like Al-Qaida, and they have proven this time and again. Rep. King is an opportunist, a leech who feeds off of the worst impulses of humanity. His "hearings" are a joke, and foolish to say the least.
