“…what Peter King said, what Pete Hoekstra said—I mean there is no room for racial profiling in this country. Every study that I have seen—and I’m a former prosecutor too—every study I have seen has shown that it’s far more effective to follow what it is that people do rather than what they look like. And if we think about the broad picture now—let me see if we get this right. If we’re going to racially profile, we racially profile everybody across the Middle East. Now we find that this young 23 year old man from Nigeria—most of Nigeria is Christian by the way—so I guess what we’re going to have to do is include all of the people of Africa. But now let’s contemplate al Qaeda in the Philippines, so now we have to include people in Southeast Asia, so now we have about four billion people.”
“Look, I think when people make an argument for racial profiling they’re either lazy, they’re either arrogant, or frankly they’re racist. This is a foolish idea and the worst part of it all is that what we’re going to do is alienate about 1.5 billion Muslims. We desperately need these people on our side. If we go down that path we’re in a very, very serious problem.”
The system failed. Period. Investigate, find where the mistakes were made and fix them. What’s with the panic and hyperbole from conservatives? Is every incident concerning Muslims going to be a call for spreading racism and hatred?
Let’s hope that a leader soon emerges from the right with the intelligence and character to instill some calm and reason within the current and ridiculous version of the Republican party. They can’t get more divisive and destructive than they’ve been.

What’s with the panic and hyperbole from conservatives? I’ll tell you what’s with that – they are desperate for something bad to happen to our country because they believe it will benefit them politically.
The GOP and people like Dick Cheney are the real terrorists. Why won’t they just go away?
Someone recently said that all Muslims are not terrorists but 100% of terrorists are Muslim. That’s a lie. The selective memory of the right has forgotten Timothy McVeigh, Dr Tiller’s killer & the Republicans praying for Obama’s death, to name a few. “The Family” who supported the execution of gay people in Uganda also have blood on their hands. They aren’t Muslim are they?
actually what he said was 100% of Islamic extremists are Muslim terrorists, its like saying that 100% of christian fundamentalists are fundamentalist terrorists.
it was not a well thought out remark.
@Anomaly100 and defolts – This is from The Examiner:
“To support his argument [Rep. Peter] King stated that ’100 percent of the Islamic terrorists are Muslim, and that is our main enemy today.’ While no one would dispute King’s assertion that 100% of Islamic terrorist are Muslim (which is akin to saying 100% of right-terrorists are conservative) many would dispute his contention that Islamic terrorists are our ‘main’ enemy today.”
It is very easy to come away with an entirely different interpretation of what someone has said if they are misquoted. I don’t think you can be Islamic and not be Muslim. Based on that presumption, among the group of Islamic people who are terrorists, they would all have to be Muslim.
