As predicted, King hearings fall short

"His top billing was an odd choice, to be sure. But King said he invited him "as an example of my good faith."

Ridiculous. King's not required to show any "good faith." Ellison should not have been involved in this project at all.

Top billing? Should have been Spencer.

And King cancels Hirsi Ali and Walid Phares? I mean, come on, Good Grief. "Hearings" become absurd and useless.

A total dog and pony show. What a waste.

If Peter King's "initiative" is the best this country can produce, then America is in deep trouble. And so is all of the West.

Ah, so much remains to be done to counter Islam's liberty-crushing, nefarious, disgusting and deceptive designs. And so little has been done to date to counter these since the West is still playing that stupidest of games, i.e., that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and Islamic terrorists have hijacked a noble religion.

Must add, for my money, that Keith Ellison's tears were the most repulsive, indefensible and unwarrranted tears that any American politician has ever produced at any time in all of American history. I was not moved in the least. Only fools and the malevolent would have been.

Ellison is the face of Islam in America, replete as he is with all that is phony, maudlin, stupid and devious about the Islamic faith, whose doctrines are in direct opposition to the Constitution of the United States of America and all the liberties which it details and guarantees. No surprise at all that Ibrahim Hooper is on record wishing for that day when Sharia will replace the Constitution as the law of the land in America. Holy Hell, when will America finally wake up? Still snoring, Peter King's hearings notwithstanding.

"...while retelling the story of a Muslim paramedic who died in the World Trade Center." I seem to remember Daisy K also mentioning this person.

What was the name of that paramedic?

this is supposed to be the most updated page (as in updated Tuesday, March 15, 2011 7:28:35 PM)

I'm not completely convinced that King won't call on Emerson, Spencer or Warraq. I beleive King intended to and was smart enough not to have them testify at the onset.

I trust I'm right and hope it's not just a wishful thought.

Ellison, another close ally of CAIR, stole the show when he broke into tears while retelling the story of a Muslim paramedic who died in the World Trade Center. Ellison used the victim as an example of the "witch hunt" against Muslims in America by claiming he was falsely accused of involvement in the 9/11 plot.

Watching Ellison's histrionics culminating in emission of forged tears was more revolting than seeing someone sticking fingers in one's throat and producing vomit. The sham was unbearable.
And King was a total let down. I can't understand why didn't he respond by pointing at the most obvious fact that the moslem paramedic was killed by friendly fire while the nearly 3000 non-moslems were intentionally murdered. Is he so stupid?

And there is nothing wrong with "witch hunt" provided that witches are correctly identified. Ellison is just one of these witches followed by Hooper and the pack of rats that make CAIR.

Let's see if he blinks...

I thought Zuhdi Jasser was very good in his own right. Along with Melvin Bledsoe's unchallengeable testimony. At the very least, they completely crushed the notions forwarded that these hearings were nonsense. I admired King for what he said and his leadership in the first part. didn't watch it all.

The Muslim mob held a presser the day before King's hearing last week.

An ACLU First Amendment lawyer begins his spiel at 08:35.

Of note is his assertion that our right to pray, speak and associate freely are guaranteed by that amendment. He is correct, of course.

He continued, with what the American Muslim community REALLY wants:

(Paraphrasing here--There is a difference between belief systems and violent criminal actions. We can hold extremist beliefs without committing violence. Those acts of violence are perfectly acceptable subjects for investigation by congress, but the belief systems are not.

Of course! If congress dared investigate Islam's actual, written teachings they would finally realize that Muslims who commit acts of violence 'in the name of Islam' are not 'extremists' or 'radicals', that they have not been 'radicalized', and that there's no such thing as 'radical' Islam.

And that every Muslim reads the same 'version' of the Qur'an.

They might even find out why Wahhabism is so often referred to--even in our own press--not as a perversion of Islam, but as 'a strict interpretation'.

And they might also have to ask Muslim Americans to explain where on the planet the amputation of a fellow human being’s hand(s) is morally acceptable to them. One can imagine that both Jasser and Ellison would have to blaspheme themsleves.

And Heaven forbid they find out that every American Muslim is a member of a 'complete way of life' that is both antithetical to democracy and incompatible with the very constitution they pretend allegiance to.

Most ridiculous of all; he wants King to find out what moves a person from non-violence to violence--without examining their beliefs!

Ellison's histrionics and bad acting not only did a disservice to the Muslim first responder who died on 9/11, he also attempted to use faked emotion to try to seduce infidels into ignoring facts and reason. Disgusting all around.

Seriously, if you're going to get called an Islamophobe, if you're going to get canned, make it count. Invite those people.

If the furor and death threats against King should wax hotter instead of wane, and (God forbid) there is an attempt on his life, to avenge himself on his enemies and drive them even more insane King just might summon an Emerson, Sultan, Spencer or Warraq to future hearings.

King said that he invited Ellison to the hearing out of "good faith." But there is nothing "good" about Ellison's "faith:" Islamism watered down and masked in tears soaked up by bleeding heart leftists who mourn for Moslems and their "victimization" by America, Israel and the West; and will go to any lengths to appease their grievances and bind their wounds, even if it means restoring the Caliphate and making the civilizational war more deadly.

People - you have to check out Leonard Pitts' column today on Rep Peter King and the Hearings. Let me give you a hint: King is "paranoid!"

Leonard Pitts is a Liberal PC bum. Of course he never mentions the existence of the Jihad doctrine in Islam.

Please leave a comment if you feel like it. Thanks.

Of course King blew it, he hyped it to be something it never was intended to be other than a "hey, look at me" moment for King's constituents. What does one expect from an idiot who thinks it a good idea to put a 1000ft "gun-free" zone around government workers? It's events such as this that are part of the reason people lose faith in their elected officials.

A wasted opportunity. It ended up being a grandstand for celebrity Muslims to proclaim their innocence, patriotism, commitment to peace, and victimization, an exercise in maudlin kitsch and teary-eyed, beside-the-point testimonials. Rep. King mishandled this from the start. He is clearly not the brightest bulb in the theater marquee, to put it mildly. He may have set back serious scrutiny of Islamist and jihadist groups in the country for a decade.

Very slick call-sign, I like it.

"King said he invited him "as an example of my good faith."

Foolish. The Islamic disinformationists like Ellison couldn't care less about King's good faith - which they probably don't even doubt - they just want America misled down the garden path of illusion until it too late to defend themselves and they'll stop at no lie on their way, for example

Much maligned Rep. Paul King should be able to see this by now and he should take off his kid gloves and invite some experts the Muslims would really not want Americans to hear from, experts like Mr. Spencer and others who can explain how the Qur'an & hadiths easily inspire Islamic terrorism in the West.
