A hunt Flavor McCarthyite witch against American Muslims? Or an earthquake for a commitment to the prevention of terrorist attacks? The Congressional hearings on the threat of Islamic terrorism took the lawmaker Peter King has just begun, but already inflamed America.
While Muslims demanding a control even non-Muslim groups that threaten the security, Obama has sent his number two in the National Security Council, Denis McDonough, a mosque, "Do not feel under attack, not to demonize an entire community the actions of a few. American Muslims are an asset, not a problem. "
Initiative King, who once supported the IRA, Northern Ireland violent arm, has the support of the conservative right-wing and fundamentalist Christian groups, but it leaves a cold part of the establishment Republican.
King is challenged not only by liberals, who see a new wave of suspicion as to the time of McCarthyism of the '50s, but also by pragmatic: among them the chief of counterterrorism and the FBI who are afraid of losing the support moderate Muslims. But to the surprise Republican has the support of a fringe of Muslims and other Middle Eastern groups that have fled to America to escape the Islamic terrorism. The character that is most discussed Brigitte Gabriel is a Maronite lady who left Lebanon in the 70s and that the U.S. has devoted itself to fight Islamism. "They sitrutto my country now I want to destroy America," he said.
Gabriel (not her real name because of death threats) has organized a network of activists Anti_islam (Act) with Guy Rodgers, a former leader of the Christian Coalition. The Lebanese just want to fight radical Islam, but in his books does not make many distinctions. "The world is a cancer which is called Islamo-fascism. Whose ideology is out of a single source: the Koran, "he wrote in one of his books.
"The issue raised by King as there exists a common problem in the days of McCarthy - says Roy Speckhardt, director of the Association for Civil Rights American Humanist -. But to investigate only when Muslims in America are counted one thousand violent groups, from the neo-Nazi white supremacist, is discriminatory and racist ".
