New York Congressman Peter King wants to investigate why Muslims are becoming more radical here in the United States.

Muslims, Jews and Christians gathered outside Rep. King’s office Tuesday to ask him to stop targeting Muslims and cancel hearings on what King calls the radicalization of Muslim-Americans.
