Naturally, there are many on the Left that would like you to believe that this is all just a charade or a mad dash to single out Muslims. However, according to King, the hearings will serve to protect the citizens of the country.

Apparently, a majority of Americans also believe so. According to a new Gallup poll, over 50% side with the New York representative. When asked if the hearings were appropriate or not:
General Population
Appropriate 52%
Inappropriate 38%
Democrats
Appropriate 40%
Inappropriate 49%
Republicans
Appropriate 69%
Inappropriate 23%
Independents
Appropriate 51%
Inappropriate 42%
You can tell that almost half of Democrats want to ignore the situation or blame the United States first. However, it is surprising that 40% of Democrats actually support the action. There are other differences in opinions between the parties:
- Forty-three percent of Republicans say Muslims are "supportive of the United States," while a majority of independents and Democrats agree.
- Half of Republicans say Muslims are too extreme in their religious beliefs, while well less than half of independents (37%) and Democrats (25%) agree.
