King's Hearing on Homegrown Radicalization Reveals Dems' Bias

“These are not Muslim-bashing hearings,” Abdirizak Bihi, the uncle of a radicalized Muslim teenager, said to reporters immediately after testifying at this morning’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing. But according to some Democrats, the hearing was an act of discrimination against Muslims and a danger to national security and civil rights.

Committee chair Peter King, a Republican from New York who has come under intense criticism for holding the hearing, played defense in his opening statement: “There is no equivalency of the threat between al Qaeda and neo-Nazis, environmental extremists, or other isolated madmen.”
