"Too Many Mosques In This Country"


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.

RUSH: I want to predict a firestorm that has yet to erupt but it likely will, ladies and gentlemen. Rep. Peter King, New York 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.'" Too many mosques in this country. Can you say, "Uh-oh"? I happen to think this is a courageous thing to say. This has become one of the biggest politically correct subjects and taboo subjects, so that people are scared to go there and talk about it, and he just opened up and launched through The Politico, which reminds me. Ladies and gentlemen, I have another book that I want to recommend to you, especially given the Peter King story. It's by Norman Podhoretz. I interviewed Mr. Podhoretz for the September issue of the Limbaugh Letter. His book is called: World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism. The Cold War, to him, was World War III. This is a no-holds-barred, brilliant explanation of just what we face around the world, not just here in our country. This book is loaded with things that defy political correctness.

FINALLY, someone publicly saying this! Of course the democrats will wring their hands and suck up to their muslim masters, but hopefully more voices of reason will rise in agreement with him and we can start to take our country back.
