Senate Hearings

So by now I'm sure most of you have heard about representative Peter King's hearings on Muslim Americans. For those of you who haven't heard he's a republican Representative from Long Island who serves on the House Homeland Security committee. He has recently decided to start hearings on Muslim Americans. He claims that many Muslim groups in America have been soft on terrorism and haven't done enough to stop it's spread across America. This decision has created a strong divide with many people and groups including Amnesty International and the Muslim Public Affairs Council speaking out against it. While there are other groups and people like the American Center for Law and Justice who fully support these hearings. Recently in the news many people have been comparing him to Joeseph McArthy calling these hearing witch hunts.
