Peter King: 'almost 90 percent of the terrorist crimes are carried out by the Muslim community'

on Friday, June 22, 2012

Interviewed on Fox News yesterday, Republican Congressman Peter King justified the resumption of his hearings on the supposed radicalisation of Muslim Americans:

What I am very concerned about is that while the overwhelming majority of Muslims are good people, the fact is even though Muslims are 1 percent of the population, almost 90 percent of the terrorist crimes are carried out by the Muslim community. And there are not enough people in the community willing to step forward and speak out against this and cooperate with law enforcement.
