It has been said by prominent conservatives that political correctness will be the death of this nation. European leaders have proclaimed that multiculturalism has failed, and the realization that within the next generation or two Europe will become dominated by Islam has set in. Muslims have increased their immigration efforts into the West, and the Islamization of Europe, and beyond, is a serious threat against the free world. Demographically, Westerners are not producing enough children to replace the native members of their societies, with a fertility rate of less than 2.0 in most cases. Muslims have been reproducing at a rate of over 8.1 in most countries.
Islam's fusion of religious and political ideology is an authoritarian system of violence, and is incompatible with the Western concept of liberty and freedoms. In an effort to curb the effects of the Islamic extremist on America, House Republican leaders have joined with Homeland Security Committee chairman Peter King's decision to conduct hearings to investigate the inroads radical Muslims have made in America.
Opposition to the hearings claim that Islam is being singled out in a McCarthyism style of a witch hunt. Their fears are that by singling out the Muslim community it could stoke anti-Islamic sentiment nationwide while providing another recruiting tool for extremists worldwide, therefore encouraging a violent Muslim response. But if we must worry about a violent response by Islamists, does that not confirm the importance of King's hearings?
The September 11 attacks are nearly a decade in the past, but the reality of the impact of the terrible events on America remains embedded in our memory, and the connection to the Islamic Jihad is undeniable. Peter King, the Congressman behind these hearings, is a New York Republican who saw more than 100 of his constituents perish on that fateful day. With these hearings, King indicates that it is his intention to explore radicalization in the American Muslim community, and by doing so he believes future attacks against the United States can be averted.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, in response to the backlash against Mr. King’s efforts, has stated that the purpose of the hearings are to “assess how we can better work with the Muslim community in America to stop the spread of radical Islam.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), says he is “deeply concerned about these hearings, which demonize law-abiding American Muslims who make important contributions to our society, as I would be about congressional hearings to investigate Catholics, Jews or people of any other faith based solely on their religion.”
The difference, Reid fails to acknowledge, is that Jews and Christians do not encourage organized terrorism, nor do they seek to overthrow governments with a theocratic dictatorship. Additionally, the religious texts of non-Muslim religions does not advocate worldwide political dominance through a policy of violence and totalitarian control.
Despite the criticism, many are applauding the effort, considering it an important step forward in safeguarding the country against the rising tide of homegrown terrorism.
