Former Ground Zero mosque Imam says Rep. King hearings on American terror growth will 'fuel radicals' and 'arouse hostility' as Danish cartoons did

Imam Rauf says Rep. Peter King hearings "fuel radicals he seeks to exterminate," (about 5 minutes in on video). Rauf says he noticed Al Jazeera running a headline that Islam is under attack in America, so the hearings just cause "a spiral." MSNBC helpfully shows a picture of Rep. King with the words "Witch Hunt" at the top.
