Controversy

Nancy Pelosi to name first Muslim lawmaker to House intelligence committee

Reputed to be very devout.

During the Cold War, there were in fact anti-communist and fervently pro-Cold War Marxists, and it would not have been absurd to hire them for sensitive national security work.

Is the situation quite the same with American Muslims?

What of this American Muslim?

Personally, I think the likelihood that it is not is unacceptably high.

At the very least, he will almost certainly be an unfortunate "agent of influence."

Let's hope the FBI keeps a sharp lookout.

Oh, also during the Cold War there were pinkoes and red sympathizers in the Congress, too, though perhaps they were more common in the State Department (Alger Hiss and others).

People who ought not to have been and were not trusted.

By the way.
