Representative Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, recently wrote in a letter to constituents that 85% of the mosques in America are controlled by extremists.
This, of course, has led to an eruption of seething and whining from the Council on American Islamic Relations, and CNN has sprung to the defense of Muslims with a piece of whitewashing that has to be seen to be believed, pooh-poohing the idea that mosques are controlled by radicals and painting King as an “Islamophobic” kook.
Note the woman who says she still doesn’t believe Muslims carried out the 9/11 attacks. CNN says they could only find one woman who thought this way. Uh huh. I’m sure they looked really hard.
Also note that CNN, once again, does not provide a single word of context about the Council on American Islamic Relations and their many ties to extremists and convicted terrorists.
And for some more context to this piece, previously at LGF: Saudis Have Radicalized 80% of US Mosques.
