Rep. Peter King (R-NY), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, has scheduled his hearings on “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response” for March 10 of next week. The plan has already set off a chorus of criticisms — from leaders of various faiths, religious and community leaders in King’s own district, everyday Americans, Muslim political advocacy groups, and even King’s fellow congressmen — that King is indulging an Islamophobic fixation and casting collective guilt and aspersions on the entire Muslim American community.

And these critics’ concerns are not unfounded. At this point, King has leveled numerous statements and accusations which call into question whether the hearings are being held in good faith. In anticipation of the event, here’s a video report ThinkProgress has put together chronicling the representative’s more “noteworthy” claims:

3. I don't like to judge a man by appearance, but KIng has the eyes

4. disgusting piece of human filth

Think about the conditions Muslims live under in this country, with the knowledge that FBI agents are hovering, on the hunt for malleable patsies around which to construct ever more ridiculous sting operations. And then to listen to garbage like this... makes you want to throw up.

5. There are many like King in America,

my question is why, why do these bigottedpeople get elected?

Could it be that King is talking about Christianity and NOT Muslims in his rants?

Keep religion OUT of government! In god we trust? I wouldn't bet on it!
