Maj. Nidal Hasan, the suspect in 2009 shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, is believed to have been inspired by the Internet postings of violent Islamic extremists, as was Faisal Shahzad, who pleaded guilty to terrorism and weapons charges in the attempted car bombing in New York's Times Square.

This should be interesting hearings this week.

To say we're going to investigate a religious minority

Hey Ellison didn't your guy in the WH say Islam was the majority religion here in US during his Cairo speech?
