A Different Take on Peter King's Hearing

By HANK STERN

A quick follow to this week's Hotseat in WW with Tamim Ansary, an author/lecturer who knows something about Islam.

Our Q-&-A with Ansary was timed in part to his appearance this Friday, March 11, in Portland and in part to congressional hearings that began today in Washington, D.C., on what U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) terms the "radicalization" of Islam.

If you need a primer on those hearings by King's Homeland Security Committee, here's a good piece. Or if you have less time and want a simpler take, this video from Next Media Animation may help.
