Dennis Kucinich has made a statement on the Rep. King Islam hearings. Posted on his website it illustrates the depth of denial, or the depth of stupidity, I am not sure which, Kucinich displays as he defends Islam and repeats a veiled threat heard from jihadist and Islamists. I respect the political office one may hold, I do not respect officials as clueless as Kucinich.

Kucinich: If Resentment Grows, Peace Will be Delayed
Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today made the following statement regarding the Committee on Homeland Security hearing titled “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response.”
“In the nine years since the dreadful attacks on September 11th, America has sought to reconcile differences among ourselves and with the world. We have sought friendship with Muslim and Arab communities. President Obama, at the beginning of his term, traveled to the Middle East, underscoring the importance of that region.
It's all the fault of America, and if we would just be nice, everything would be peachy.
“Despite efforts to improve relations between our nation and the Muslim and Arab world, America has stumbled. Two wars have been waged in the Middle East, further degrading our image among the world’s Muslim and Arab people.
“A Congressional hearing to investigate our friends and neighbors jeopardizes the fragile progress we have made and creates a longer gap for peace to bridge.
Does he know something we don't? Can he really distinguish between our friends in the Muslim world, and those dedicated to our destruction, and if so, please share it with the rest of us.
“This hearing insinuates that violence and the Muslim religion go hand in hand. Nothing could be further from the truth. Islam is a religion based upon peace, goodwill and the ethical treatment of all people on this planet."
First he needs to read the Qur'an. Second he needs a smack upside the head.
“This kind of stereotyping opens the door to discrimination against the 2.5 million Muslims that live peacefully among us in the United States of America and the 1.66 billion Muslims that live throughout the world. We must not allow the acts of a few stoke the flames of xenophobia and resentment in this nation. If this resentment grows, peace will be delayed.”
We are responsibile for how Muslims feel, and if we make them feel any worse they will delay the peace. In what way will the peace be delayed, Mr. Kucinich?
