The GOP ignores domestic terrorist organizations, from Neo-Nazi groups, to environmental groups, anti-abortion groups, skinhead groups, Christian groups that call for the killing of gays and lesbians. These are the domestic terror groups that the FBI and ATF regularly prosecute, yet the GOP ingores them.

LOL. If they are being prosecuted they are being paid attention to.

No they don't. They had control of the house and senate in the 90's when they were having hearings and meetings about wacko Christians and all those who had compounds. They also held many hearings, investigations, and meetings concerning militias of various flavors. The Muslims are getting a better hearing today than they did back then. I don't remember them inviting Christian parents, who lost kids to their radicalism, to speak or testify.

It is what it is. Just because you don't like it being named doesn't mean it isn't true.

There were plenty of muslims testifying they have wanted a meeting like this for some time and are sick of the left's insane politically correct stupidity on this issue.

Have anything factual to support that allegation?

I guess you've never taken a statistics course? If you did, does the phrase "selection bias" ring a bell?

There are almost 2 billion Muslims on the planet. There are at least two relative implications to that.

1. Out of that 2 billion, you can probably find a handful who will testify to anything.

2. If you increase the number of them that hate America and want to do us harm by a single percentage point, you have just created 20 million new potential terrorists.

It is fascinating to me how the same people who are constantly beating their breasts about how horribly violent a religion Islam is and how easily offended Muslims are then go out of their way to offend them. Do these people also leap out in front of cars and dare them to run 'em over?

It is the most idiotic form of self destructive posturing I have ever witnessed... Off the top of my head I can honestly think of no equivalent I have ever witnessed. Of course, I admit that I never watched either of the "Jackass" films.

This is probably not the smart way to fight radicalization of American Muslims. It certainly is a farce as an "investigation."

How nice for them. I suspect that they might even believe it.

I point out again that 139 people died when the Muhammad cartoons were published. Boy, we really showed them!

The guy was a nut job and committed a terrorist attack. Domestic Terrorism, is Domestic Terrorism, whether by Muslims, the right, the left, or anyone else. If we are going to investigate radicalization and domestic terrorism, we should be doing it across the board.
That would be about the most inefficent investigation ever. The administration has said that the radicalization of US citizens by Muslim extremists is a very real threat. Why dilute the process to spare the sensitivities of terrorists and wannabe terrorists? King has clearly said that is about how people are becoming radicalized and the threat they pose. Unless all Muslims fit that category, then the larger group shouldn't have any concerns.
