Al Qaeda trying to radicalize U.S. Muslims, congressman claimsEditor's Note: CNN’s Soledad O’Brien chronicles the fight over a mosque’s construction in the heart of the Bible Belt. “Unwelcome: The Muslims Next Door” airs at 8 p.m. ET March 27 on CNN. The U.S. congressman set to hold hearings this week on "radicalization in the American Muslim community" wants Americans to find out how much al Qaeda is trying to influence U.S. Muslims, he told CNN Wednesday. "I want to determine the extent to which that radicalization is taking place, the extent to which Muslim leaders are cooperating (with authorities) in trying to stop that radicalization," Rep. Peter King, R-New York, said on CNN's "American Morning." King said America had seen the evidence of that al Qaeda-inspired radicalization in "a number of attempted attacks which could have killed hundreds if not thousands of people," such as the failed Times Square attack and New York subway bombing plan.

Ask any NYer who was in NYC area on 9/11 or lived here since. We know who the enemy is. The enemy has declared who their enemy is, and it is the USA. That in and of itself is a declaration of war on the United States. Let's get real people. Obamamama screwed up again by not helping the Libyan people when we had the tiny window of opportunity to remove one more anti-USA Muslim warlord terrorist from power.
Somebody radicalized something somewhere. I can just feel it. I know radicalization is out there. Waiting. I'm going to be ready for it. I will become totally radical, dudes! Yeah! 😀
Whoa!
It was me. I radicalized some leftovers. There's still some left if anybody wants some. I also radicalize the air when I fart.
Blasphemies in the West radicalize every person on earth for bad. Stop the stupid madness and abuse of freedom.
@Justina
You said: "Blasphemies in the West radicalize every person on earth for bad. "
I don't know who is creepier, you or HeavenSent. Why do you try to sound like a later day prophet?
What would the West look like, if we stopped the madness? Would it be the Christian Theocracy that the Christian Right wants? Would you make it a crime to question the existence of god? Extinguish gays?
What is on your wish list for the decadent west?

Al Queda does not need to radicalize US Muslims, the GOP is doing that already.
@Charlie Sheen
You said: "Al Queda does not need to radicalize US Muslims, the GOP is doing that already."
The Republicans are trying very hard to establish the Muslims as the threat, that only the Republicans can protect us from.
The Republicans serve two masters: The rich and the Christian Right.
I have no wish to be the slave of either of these.
Cheers!
And what's so bad about Christians and the GOP?
Thank heavens no one's out there trying to radicalize U.S. Christians! oh, wait...
Jay, right. Because all radical Christians would rather die protecting you, whether you are a Jew, a fellow Christian, a Muslim, or an air-headed atheist.
Google the card game INWO : Illuminati New World Order. Also the secret service raided the card company during the 90's saying that an employee hacked into a white house computer.
The more they protest, the more I'm concerned.
To reiterate: Getting to heart of the situation
What instigated the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon? And what continues to drive Muslims to commit acts of terror and horror? The koran, Mohammed's book of death for all infidels and Muslim domination of the world by any means. Muslims must clean up this book removing said passages admitting that they are based on the Gabriel myth and therefore obviously the hallucinations and/or lies of Mohammed. Then we can talk about the safety and location of mosques and what is taught therein. Until then, no male Muslim can be trusted anytime or anywhere.–
