Muslim Congressman Ellison: Hearing On Radical Islam Is "Scary"
2011-03-08
Scary? Why? Got something to hide?
"Well, it's a disturbing use of a Congressional hearing. I mean, there's awesome power associated with being Chairman of the Committee, being able to investigate and do oversight and to use it to essentially go after a religious minority group, I think it is a scary proposition. I would submit to all Americans that look, could be Muslims today, could be others tomorrow. This is a very bad precedent, and I have actually gone to Congressman King and asked him to broaden the scope of the hearings. He has so far declined."
Broaden the scope? Why? Looking for something to hide behind? Safety in numbers? Trying to broaden the investigation so it doesn't probe too deep?
