Conyers calls for inquiry of treatment of Muslim Americans - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Operative quote:

"With federal hearings on radicalization and intense scrutiny by law enforcement of religious institutions, the American-Islamic community today is living in a climate that has the risk of producing a siege mentality,” said Conyers in a statement.
“The American-Islamic community should know that the federal government will protect the interests of the community, while maintaining the appropriate focus on national security.”"

Heck with the "American-Islamic community" how about the "American-Christian community," or the "American Patriot community," or the "American Teaparty community," or the "American Vast Right Wing Conspiracy community," or just the "American community" forget the hyphens. There is a sence today by a significant majority of Americans who believe we are "...living in a climate that has the risk of producing a siege mentality" and it is not between law enforcement and Americans it is between Honorable Congressmen like John Conyers and Americans. At least we have a politician understanding the mood of the country, it is just to bad he does not realize the disdain is for himself.


Well I sure hope The Honorable Congressman Mr. Conyers is willing to extend his promise of the federal government protecting the interests of the community to all Americans. Oh wait, The Honorable Congressman Mr. Conyers has not a clue - by his votes - about the interests of regular Americans. How could he know the interests of the "American-Islamic community?"
