Rep. Sue Myrick to hold hearing about Muslim Brotherhood

Here's a politician who's hopefully taking a bold stance on a serious issue (via The Jawa Report):
WASHINGTON U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick will hold her first hearing today as an Intelligence subcommittee chairwoman under the new, Republican-controlled Congress.

The hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood comes now because of the political uprisings in Egypt and its neighbors this winter.

But witnesses probably will address Myrick's concerns about what effects the Muslim Brotherhood could have not only in Egypt, but also the rest of the Middle East, and even in the United States.

Myrick, a Charlotte Republican, has long warned that U.S. national security forces should focus more energy on homegrown terrorism, including Islamic extremism and whether terrorist groups could recruit young people through American mosques.

Others question whether the Muslim Brotherhood is responsible for radicalizing youth and caution against Congress' probing activities protected by the First Amendment.

Myrick routinely cites the hometown example of Samir Khan, a onetime Charlotte resident who once edited an extremist website from the basement of his parents' home. Khan now is thought to be operating from Yemen.

At an open Intelligence Committee hearing in February, Myrick pointed out that according to evidence introduced by the Justice Department at a trial four years ago, the Muslim Brotherhood has historic ties to several Islamic groups in the United States.
And don't be surprised if CAIR is one of them. I hope they intend to invite some really good names from the conservative side, unlike Peter King, who wimped out.
