Barack Hussein Works to Reassure Muslims Ahead of House Hearings on Homegrown Islamic Terrorism

Folks should be reading my friend Gary Fouse's blog, Fousesquawk. Gary teaches at UCI and his blog specializes in countering jihad on campus. Despite the backlash against Irvine's Muslim Student Association, the campus will once again hold Israeli Hate Week in May. I'm planning some coverage of that myself, which will augment my recent investigation into pro-terror Islamic radicalism at UCLA. It's never a dull moment with these thugs. Right here at home we have an anti-Semitic fifth column, and of course the White House is doing all it can to strengthen these forces and enable the progressive left's Islamization of America. At LAT, "White House seeks to reassure Muslims":

The White House took a preemptive step to defuse an emerging controversy Sunday, sending out a top aide to reassure American Muslims that the U.S. government doesn't see them as a collective threat.

Denis McDonough, deputy national security advisor to President Obama, addressed a largely Muslim audience days before congressional hearings into homegrown Islamic terrorism. The hearings, which sparked protests in New York on Sunday, will be led by Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

In his speech to members of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society, McDonough said, "The bottom line is this: When it comes to preventing violent extremism and terrorism in the United States, Muslim Americans are not part of the problem; you're part of the solution."

Earlier Sunday, King told CNN's "State of the Union" that Al Qaeda terrorists were "attempting to recruit within the United States. People in this country are being self-radicalized."

The Obama administration is clearly worried that the hearings, which begin Thursday, could open a rift with Muslim leaders, whose cooperation is needed to foil terrorist recruitment. A message from McDonough's speech was that the Muslim community is vital to a larger strategy of preventing the radicalization of American youths.
