VOICED: US Congress holds 'Islamic radicalization' hearings

The video discusses the resurfacing threat of terrorism within America's Muslim communities, focusing on congressional hearings led by a Republican lawmaker. The hearings highlight the issue of homegrown radicalization as part of al-Qaeda's strategy, with testimonies from affected families. The hearings have faced criticism for stereotyping and scapegoating Muslim communities, drawing parallels to past discrimination against ethnic groups in America. Despite these challenges, the video emphasizes that the majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens and that Islamic groups often cooperate with authorities to thwart terror plots.
