NEW YORK — A coalition of over 100 interfaith, nonprofit and governmental organizations planned to rally in New York City against a planned congressional hearing on Muslims' role in homegrown terrorism.

The coalition said that Thursday's hearing will send the wrong message to U.S. Muslims by "demonizing" them.

U.S. Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, told CNN's "State of the Union" that he sees an international movement with elements in the U.S. of Muslims becoming more radical and identifying with terrorists.

A Minnesota Democrat, Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the House, said that while it's proper to investigate radicalization, it is wrong to single out a religious minority.


now, that's what i don't get. what other religions should we be investigating? that comment makes no sense to me at all. are all muslims 'bad'. of course not. but any that are radicalized, who are using a bastardized form of their religion to instigate terrorism, obviously should be investigated. i don't believe we should group any and all muslims together, but i can certainly understand having this hearing.
