Some Emotion, No Surprises At Muslim Radicals Hearing

The House Homeland Security committee held a hearing Thursday on the radicalization of American Muslims. The panel heard testimony from Muslims about elements within their communities who support terrorism and discourage cooperation with law enforcement. Others testified that those sentiments are not representative of the majority of Muslims in the U.S. The hearing has been a source of controversy almost since it was announced months ago. Critics said it unfairly singled out Muslims as a source of homegrown terrorism.
