Prosters in NYC regarding hearings on radical ISLAM

[Tell me this protesters sign (picture 9) isnt rediculous!!?]

Protesters gathered on the streets of NYC under the cold and rain to protest against the congressional hearings held by Chairman Peter King, on "the radicalization of American Muslims." They are protesting because they believe during these hearings they are unfairly targeting Islam, by portraying all Muslim and Islam as the enemy. This sounds like our class discussion all over again, we aren't fighting against Muslims, we are having a war on terror.
King defended the hearings on CNN's "State of the Union" program.
"We're talking about al Qaeda," he said. "We're talking about the affiliates of al Qaeda, who have been radicalizing, and there's been self-radicalization going on within the Muslim community, within a very small minority, but it's there. And that's where the threat is coming from at this time." He also compared the goal of hearings like the investigating of the Mafia within the Italian community or going after the Russian mob.
Now according to these protesters Americans need to come together to promote tolerance. Honestly I'm tired of hearing this, Americans are entitled to their opinions. .now if Americans were proposing a genocide on Islam.Muslims then that's when things have gone way to far, and that is so far from ever happening! This isn't the first time a certain group of people have been given a bad reputation and have been put under speculation. This is just scandalous situation on behalf of both sides
