Muslim tells Senate: No problem with 'radical Islam'

A Muslim witness said at a Senate hearing Tuesday that he has “no problem” calling the Islamic State a radical Islamic terrorist organization, even though the Obama administration has made a point of avoiding that term.

“There’s nothing wrong with labels,” Tarek Elgawhary, Ph.D., whose specialities include comparative religions and Islamic law, testified Tuesday at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hearing focusing on the ideology of the Islamic State.
