Hearing on Radicalization in the American Muslim Community
On March 10, the House Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing called “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response.” After the hearing, a coalition of leaders from several faith traditions responded at a news conference. Watch excerpts from the statement of Rep. Peter King (R-NY), chair of the committee; the testimony of Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, and Dr. M.
