what i m saying is that when you know that islamic terrorists, by ipso facto are going to be muslims and you know for instance in new york we have had so many plots against new york which have been stopped by the nypd and by the fbi that come out of that community, when we see the number, for instance, eric holder saying he stays awake at night worrying about radicalization in the muslim american community, then this is a serious issue. and just as when you know whether, i ll use the example the mafia, the westies, aryan nation, whatever, you look at certain areas where you believe those people may be coming from and you don t violate the constitution, you don t wiretap without a warrant, you don t have searches and seizures but you do build up sources. that s common sense. i see the way nypd is attacked in new york. there are a thousand police officers working on counterterrorism and they are being attacked by the new york times, the associated press and all these other groups. to
political correctness is limiting this? because i guess some critics would say you re advocating a form of profiling. what i m saying is that when you know that islamic terrorists, by ipso facto are going to be muslims and you know for instance in new york we have had so many plots against new york which have been stopped by the nypd and by the fbi that come out of that community, when we see the number, for instance, eric holder saying he stays awake at night worrying about radicalization in the muslim american community, then this is a serious issue. and just as when you know whether, i ll use the example the mafia, the westies, aryan nation, whatever, you look at certain areas where you believe those people may be coming from and you don t violate the constitution, you don t wiretap without a warrant, you don t have searches and seizures but you do build up sources. that s common sense. i see the way nypd is attacked in new york. there are a thousand police officers working on
not his religion. feisal happen to be muslim but he was motivated by his grievances with regard to u.s. policy in pakistan and afghanistan. who knows what these individuals motivation may be? but it will probably have more to do with politics than religion. let s not cast a wide net and just go after a whole religious group. let me play what congressman peter king said sunday regarding the way ahead and the proper way to ask these questions. let me play it. 99% of the muslims are outstanding americans. the fact is that s where the threat is coming from. when the fbi was after the westies, they went for the irish communicate. when they were after the mafia, they web after the italian communicate. if you know where a threat is coming, that s where you have to look. do you see anything valid in those remarks? it s true that well over 99% of the muslim communicate is absolutely loyal, law-abiding
americans who are as offended by what happened in boston as any other american. that s true. after that, my friend representative king is wrong again. the fbi did not go after all italians or all irish people. no one ever said, let s surveil a whole ethnic community. they went after people who were criminals and who were exhibiting criminal behavior. the fact that those people happen to be of a particular ethnic origin was not the causal effect. the issue was what they were doing. so again, it is just ridiculous. to say that because of the westies, that every irish person was under suspect. everyone in america knows that s ridiculous. but still he wants to cast a wide net with regard to muslims. the fact if you were to ask american muslims where is clech in a on the map, most of us would never know. we would have to find a map and look for it. so you re talking to people who know literally nothing about the conflict these individuals may
be tried as an enemy combatant. it dates backs to december 31s of 2011, when the president put out a statement at that time saying that it is this administration s policy that they would not pursue any individual to put him into military detention if they are an american citizen. the white house insists and the administration insists and it is their policy that they will pursue this case in criminal court. peter alexander from the white house for us on this sunday. peter, as always, thank you. meanwhile, new york republican congressman peter king is calling for more surveillance of the muslim community following the boston marathon attack. 99% of the muslims are outstanding americans. the fact is, that s where the threat is coming from. when the fbi went after the westies, they went after the irish community. when they went after the mafia, they went for the italian community. if you know a threat is coming from a certain community, that s where you have to look. congressman ki
