VIDEO: Ellison to King: Here’s how American Muslims help fight terrorism

New York Republican Congressman Peter King said the point of the controversial Homeland Security Committee "Islamic radicalization" hearings he is holding this week is to discover how Muslim Americans can help fight terrorism. He got an answer from Keith Ellison, a Muslim Representative from Minnesota, who broke down this morning and sobbed during testimony. He told the story of Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a Muslim 23-year-old paramedic and New York City police cadet who helped America fight terrorism by doing his job and rushing to the Twin Towers on 9/11 and giving up his life to try to save the people trapped inside.
