Earlier this week, Rep. Peter King made the following racist, xenophobic, Islam-hating, intolerant rant, which emphasized the need for greater law enforcement focus on Muslim communities:
“When you’re going after the Mafia you go to Italian communities… If you’re looking for Islamic terrorism, you focus on Muslim communities…We’re at war with Islamic terrorism. It’s coming from people within the Muslim community by the terrorists coming from that community, just like the Mafia comes from Italian communities.”
To which Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Islam) said King’s position is wrong and ridiculous.
