Representative King, from New York's Third District, represents a population of middle class Long Islanders, according to his official website. However, in an interview with the Politico, Rep. King said there are "too many mosques in this country." It would seem like the Representative would have other things to worry about -- ie. the economy, education system, etc. But indeed, when asked to clarify his statement he did not relent, instead insisting that there are radical Islamics in the US and one way to root them out is further investigations of mosques. Pardon me, but wouldn't this infringe on something called the FIRST AMENDMENT?
It seems to me that if we had better immigration laws, some of the fears of terrorist attacks would be abated. Then we could leave law abiding citizens to worship as they please.
Rep. King is one of the many ignorant politicians dominating DC lately. I, for one, am tired of it -- tired of Democrats and Republicans alike.
