Excerpt:
Rep. Peter King said in his latest broadcast appearance yesterday that "the overwhelming majority of Muslims in this country are very supportive of the United States" — in contrast to Europe, where several Muslim communities are more isolated and hostile, thus helping make ISIS a bigger threat.
King (R-Seaford) famously aroused attention and controversy in recent years in statements and hearings on Muslim radicalization. So during a radio show on WNYM (970-AM), host John Catsimatidis asked the 12-term lawmaker his take on security alerts in Europe.
"We are at least for now in a better position than Europe because it's harder for ISIS to get here" — versus fighters' relatively easy access to France and Belgium via Turkey.
