Muslims watch warily as House holds hearing
They were moved when the first Muslim elected to Congress shed tears
discussing a Muslim who died trying to save others on 9/11. They were
irked by accusations from House members and annoyed when fellow Muslims
maligned their faith.
At times they constituted an Amen corner. At other moments, they jeered and glared at the images beamed live from Capitol Hill.
But
for the most part, the dozen Muslims gathered in Sterling, Virginia, on
March 10 at the home of a local grassroots activist sat silently as
they watched the House Homeland Security Committee's hearing on "the
extent of radicalization in the American Muslim Community."
