Rep. Peter King: There are "too many mosques in this country"
New York Rep. Peter King, a prominent House Republican, said there are
"too many mosques in this country" in a recent interview with
Politico.
"There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam," King said.
"We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we
can infiltrate them."
King is the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security
Committee. And as an outspoken advocate of strong anti-terror
measures, he has been unafraid to ruffle some feathers in his drive to
protect the homeland.
When asked to clarify his statement, King did not revise his answer,
saying "I think there has been a lack of full cooperation from too
many people in the Muslim community." The interview was for a profile
of the committee, as part of Politico's Committee Insider Series.
Earlier, King had said in an interview with radio and television host
Sean Hannity that 85 percent of the mosques in this country are
controlled by "extremist leadership," a comment that prompted strong
condemnations from many religious organizations and from the
Democratic National Committee.
UPDATE: On Wednesday, the congressman said: "The quote was taken
entirely out of context by Politico. My position in this interview, as
it has been for many years, is that too many mosques in this country
do not cooperate with law enforcement. Unfortunately, Politico was
incapable of making this distinction."
UPDATE 2: After Congressman King said his comment was taken out of
context, Politico posted a fuller video so readers can decide.

What does King suggest we do----close them down? Would King like a
religious war here in America? He is a great supporter of war. Why not
a good religious war right here at home?
Q. How many Muslims are in the United States?
A. According to an academic review of available survey-based data in
2001, informed by information provided by Muslim organizations and
mosques, the highest reasonable total number of Muslims in the United
States is 2.8 million.
A more realistic number, supported by statistically significant survey
data comparable to what has been used to to calculate the sizes of
other religious groups, is less than 2 million Muslims in the United
States, or about 0.5% of the total population.
Estimates of the U.S. Muslim population of 6 million, 8 million, 10
million or more may indeed be correct, but are not supported by
empirical data. Such numbers may best be understood as "spiritual"
numbers, rather than actual numbers.
How many mosques are there in America?
Anyone know ?

Hannity that 85 percent of the mosques in this country are controlled

Question: How many Jews are there today in the U.S.A.?
How many Jewish Temples are there in America -----
Anyone know?
Are any of these temples controlled by "extremist leadership? "
How many Muslims are in the US government compared to Jews in the
government ?
How much influence do the Muslims have on American foreign policy
compoared to the massive influence the Jews have?
King has a problem being from New York --- Israel West---- and depends
on the Jewish vote to remain in the House of Israel .He thinks his
remarks about Muslims strengthens his Jewish support. It won't work
"There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam," King said.
"We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we
can infiltrate them."
Perhaps there are far too many people sympathetic to radical Zionism
and the neocon Yids. "We should be looking at them more carefully and
finding out how we can infiltrate them."
