"Well, it's a disturbing use of a Congressional hearing. I mean, there's awesome power associated with being Chairman of the Committee, being able to investigate and do oversight and to use it to essentially go after a religious minority group, I think it is a scary proposition. I would submit to all Americans that look, could be Muslims today, could be others tomorrow. This is a very bad precedent, and I have actually gone to Congressman King and asked him to broaden the scope of the hearings. He has so far declined,"

Now, Rep. King is holding Congressional hearings on Radical Islam. Not Islam. Radical Islam. Hasn't the point always been that terrorism is not committed by Muslims, but instead by Radical Muslims? How can anyone make progress toward the problem of Radical Terrorism, if you're not allowed to talk about it?
