The first congressional hearing on the radicalization of American Muslims opened on March 10th, revealing a great partisan divide in how congressmen view the role of Muslims in thwarting terrorist threats and the “role of mosques in America.”
One witness accused Muslim community leaders of discouraging their members from cooperating with law enforcement, while Sheriff Leroy Baca of Los Angeles testified the exact opposite, stating that Muslims have a positive relationship with local law enforcement. More sessions are to follow in the next year and a half.
