GOP Congressman: Spy On U.S. Mosques To Stop ISIS Recruitment
Undocumented Democrats are more important to [President Obama] than national security, Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King says.
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King is calling for the U.S. government to begin spying on American mosques to stop ISIS recruitment efforts, charging the militant organization is actively operating in mosques across the country.
Although there is no evidence that ISIS is running a nationwide recruitment effort or using mosques as centers to target would be jihadis, King insisted the Obama administration must target mosques for domestic surveillance activities.

(32,015 posts)If there's any hope, see p. 5 of this poll that shows Steve King has only 47% of the vote in his district vs. 36% for the Democrat challenging him (Jim Mowrer) and 17% undecided. In 2012, King won re-election with just 53% of the vote, compared to 59% of higher in elections past from 2002 to 2010. Mowrer and progressive PAC's gotta work hard to expose King for the crank he is.
