Audio CBC Congressman Al Green

CBC Congressman Al Green (D-TX) says that the KKK is a bigger threat than the Muslim terrorists.  No one will defend the KKK, but how can Green compare the Muslim terrorists to the KKK.  As horrid as the KKK has been they never crashed planes into buildings or blew up buildings like the Muslim terrorists have.

The House Homeland Security Committee is holding hearings on the Muslim terrorists.  Representative Peter King (R-NY), chairman of the committee said, "There is no equivalency of threat between al Qaeda and Neo-Nazis, environmental extremists, and other isolated madmen." King went on,  "Indeed, by the Justice Department’s own record, not one terror-related case in the last two years involved neo-Nazis, environmental extremists, or anti-war groups."

Congressman Dan Lungren (R-CA), followed up on the issue saying: "I would say to those who criticize us for a singular focus here that I have been on panels that have investigated the continuing presence of Nazi war criminals in the United States," Lungren explained. "I've been there where we've examined the Ku Klux Klan...and skinhead groups and militias."

Following the hearing Thursday Green was asked about Attorney General Eric Holder's remarks about 126 terror indictments where the majority of the indictments were jihad related. In a USA Today op-ed piece written by Congressman King, the lawmaker from New York notes:

Attorney General Eric Holder has said that radicalization of Americans is something that keeps him awake at night. As he noted, 126 people have been indicted on terrorist-related charges in the past two years, including 50 U.S. citizens. The great majority of those charged are violent jihadists.

Apparently, Green did not appreciate the question about the terror indictments – audio:

Congressman Allen West (R-FL) and fellow Congressional Black Caucus member to Green took issue with Green's remarks about the terror issue and the KKK.

"You're not defending the KKK," said West, a retired Army Colonel and Iraq War veteran. "I grew up in Georgia and I remember the days of the Klan--the lighting the cross on Stone Mountain. Those days are done, but what I think a lot of people need to understand is that two weeks ago we had a Saudi gentleman out of Texas Tech--Lubbock, Texas, that was caught planning a terrorist attack to include President Bush's home.

"We just had the bombing threat during Christmas in Portland, Oregon, I believe. We had the underwear bomber. We had Major Nidal Hassan. We had Alawi who is now public enemy number one over in Yemen who was right here in Northern Virgninia. We've got a serious problem here with home grown terrorism that we have to deal with," West said.

 "We have to have this intellectual open debate and anyone not wanting to have it or are being recalcitrant about it, I just ask them to look across the Atlantic Ocean to London and the rest of Europe and see what is happening, because they were not willing to have this open debate and the next thing you know, they have a situation which has become an epidemic."

"I think bringing the KKK into all of this is terrible. It's horrible, and that shows an unwillingness to really deal with this situation. It's once again this comparative means by which people try to make the moral relativist argument instead of dealing with the issue," said West. "I even heard in that hearing someone was talking about, 'Why don't we bring Christians up as well?' This is not what it's about."

The left refuses to say Islamist or Muslim terrorists.  They are fighting even having these committee hearings.  One has to question their reason(s)?
