GOP Congressman: 'We have too many mosques in this country'

[almaty 19]

"We have too many mosques in this country," according to Rep. Peter King, the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee.

King made that statement during an interview with The Politico , a newspaper that covers politics in the nation's capital.

"Unfortunately, we have too many mosques in this country. There's too many people who are sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully. We should be finding out how we can infiltrate. We should be much more aggressive in law enforcement," King says in the interview.

A few minutes later, after a short break, the reporter gets King to return to his claim that there are too many mosques in the USA.

"Well, yeah, I mean there are. I mean I'm aware of ones in New York where to me that certainly raise suspicion and should be looked at carefully. I think there's been a lack of full cooperation from too many people in the Muslim community and there's a real threat here in this country," King says.

"Unfortunately, we have too many mosques in this country. There's too many people who are sympathetic to radical Islam.

Are those two sentences supposed to be related somehow?

Going to the mosque means that you are sympathetic to radical Islam?

Rep. King is quite a character. Isn't he the one with the funny hair?

Wait a couple of decades.

I know that seems like a long time, but by then, the U.S. will probably have a "new enemy" to hate, fear and fight. That's how we work. At one time it was the Germans, then it was the Communists (Russians, Chinese, North Korean, and North Vietnamese) and now it's Muslims. It'll change again. To what, I don't know, but it will change. That much I can tell you.

Even sadder to think that there's enough people out there who actually voted to put this guy in office.
