represented peter king's hearings on so-called muslim radicals asian began today
congressman king was investigating tire muslim community in this country
he does not want escape any other kind of radicals because of course
if he did am i find out that a lot of them are right wingers
went on about how on american these hearings are in a second
but first i want to say the wonder thing that came out
representative olson was the first muslim ever in the united states congress davis emotional
testimony about the heroes and of one man on nine eleven
let me close with this true story
but remember that it's only one of many americans towards it could be told
muhammad some underneath
was a twenty three-year-old
in new york city police cadet
and most un-american
he was one of those brave up first responders who tragically lost his life in nine eleven
terrorist attacks almost a decade ago
has a new york times eulogized
he wanted to be seen as all american kid
he wore number seventy nine
on the high school football team at bayside queens where he lived
he was call cell by his friends
he became a research assistant at the rockefeller university and rowland evans part-time
one christmas he sang handel's messiah in queens
to solve all of the star world movies
fits well known
disney condo
was the one with a threat
with the young gerard license plates
mister i'm done a great we sacrificed his life
to try to help others on an eleven
faster than tragedies on people tried to smear is curator
sold because it is his english pretty
some people spread false rumors and speculated that he was agreed with the attackers
because of the blessing
what was the only way you usually release
greg lefevre
fifteen slides were exposed
mohammed salameh dot it was that all american
gutierrez life for other americans
scored sooner i know that it was just a member of the of the group or just a member of a
religion
what is it a breathtaking view everything
first i wonder if it's
congressman else's testimony goes the harder with a strong with these hearings
spiritual beings of their ethnicity
and lumping them in with terrorists because of their faith
is grotesque
but more importantly is on america
it misses the whole point of this country remember we hold these truths to be self admitted
all men are created equal
that's for was brought countless immigrants to this country
from italy and ireland in japan in poland
and yes from mexico and the middle east
they came here with a belief the day when the judge says equals
and their children would have the same opportunity
as any other american
that's why my family came here
were true believers
we believe that what makes you an american isn't being born in nebraska or new jersey
is the belief in your heart that democracy is the right form of government
freedom is essential that we should all be treated as equals
for from time to time in this country's history
some of the forces in the nation try to undo the essence of america and forget what made
it great
joe mccarthy went to separate us
he held hearings that turn into which funds trying to find people who he considered to
be on america
during world war two f_d_r_ made a terrible mistake and internet japanese just because
of who they were
one of those in turn was my condo
he's now a seventy six-year-old congressman from california
he is condemned the king hearing said he cannot believe that he is live long enough to see
our country turned back to these dark days
of course throughout u_s_ history we would tack different at the knees ethnicities
for their race or creed
just asked native americans are african-americans
but we persevere through all this
in the hope and the belief that the core of america
the heidi america was better than that
that the shining city on a hill which shine again
so now we're confronted by another patty only men who wasn't just challenging a whole religion
or ethnicity
he is challenging the concept of america
if i a moslem and i'm an american
i don't have to prove it
damn thing the congressman king
i have no more or no less of an american and he's he has no right to question my loyalty
or investigate my family based on who we are
is of course a freeway ironic becky was the one who was so started looking into people's
connections the radicals
because he himself was an ardent supporter of the i_r_a_ ek terrorist group that killed
over six hundred civilians even raise money for those terrorist animate light on the desk
of the civilians
but they cost
so why wouldn't a congressman king's hearings i would not go is the cues
how does that user please you mister king was very easily associated with terrorists
is you who does not understand what it means to be an american
is you who's trying to damage our great country
