1. Critics fear hearing will fuel anti-Muslim bias
Edited on Thu Mar-10-11 09:47 AM by AsahinaKimi

Alauddin El-Bakri worries about a new round of backlash and mistrust toward members of his Saratoga mosque because of a congressional hearing being held today on what a Republican congressman is calling the radicalization of Islam in the United States.

Once again, El-Bakri said, American Muslims are being linked to terrorism.

The title of the hearing, "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response," has earned Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., comparisons to 1950s Communist-baiting Sen. Joseph McCarthy for the way he is broadly targeting people for their alleged links to un-American activity.

2. We always have a demon in the US identified as the one, ones/group that
we need to be afraid of. I guess for this season they've stopped on the gays for awhile and now Muslims are the new target, of course blacks have always been in season. We really need to rename the US United Hatred.
