the extent of Muslim-American radicalization by al-Qaeda in their communities today and how terrible it is, the impact it has on families, how extensive it is, and also that the main victims of this are Muslim Americans themselves.

Obama basically said to him that so many people who serve time never get a really fair second chance.

I want to thank the firefighters, the police officers, the construction workers, and all of those who came forward to answer the Nation's call on September 11. This is a great victory for the American people. It's a great victory for the…

What's Radicalizing Muslim Americans?

I will vote against this censure resolution because I do not believe the findings warrant the severe penalty of censure. I reached this conclusion after reading and studying hundreds of pages of committee documents, including the…

Mr. Speaker, I want to join with my colleagues in expressing condolences on the death of Steve Solarz, who served with distinction in the New York State Legislature and for many years here in Congress, earning a bipartisan reputation for…

I am disgusted at the total miscarriage of justice today in Manhattan's federal civilian court.

This tragic verdict demonstrates the absolute insanity of the Obama administration's decision to try al Qaeda terrorists in civilian courts.

This is a real issue. Those of us who live in New York... we really shouldn't allow the firefighters, the police officers, the construction workers, the EMS workers to have to wait longer to get the treatment and the care that they deserve…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 847, and at the outset, let me commend my colleagues, Carolyn Maloney and Jerry Nadler, for the truly outstanding job they've done for all these years and…

Today I rise in support of House Resolution 1610 to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks and remember the nearly 3,000 innocent victims killed that day in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in…

the mosque's imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, be investigated to make sure there are no -- quote -- 'unsavory connections'.

It's a house of worship, but we are at war with al Qaeda.

It's important, I think, that we know the genesis, the origins of this mosque, who is behind it, where the money comes from.

I have seen too many police officers, firefighters, and construction workers who responded to 9/11 who have pulverized glass in their lungs and toxins in their bloodstream and are dying one by one. But what we are doing tonight is a cruel…

It is my sad duty to inform the Congress that former Congressman Angelo Roncallo of New York passed away this week. Angelo Roncallo was a predecessor of mine in the Third Congressional District. He served from 1973 to 1975. He was Nassau…

It has really been an honor for me to be able to work with you closely on these issues.

You ought to be able to gather intelligence before you did anything else, because what I want to know more about this guy is not how he committed the crime, but what led him to commit the crime and who he worked with, and Miranda warnings…

We are at war with Islamist terrorism.

Senator, I would fully agree with that, and like you, being somewhat familiar with the case of Major Hasan, even though all the records have not been made available to us, yes, using that case as a classic example, I agree with you…

All the world mourns the horrific plane crash which took the lives of Polish President Lech Kaczynski, his wife Maria, and so many of Poland's leading political, military, and financial officials. This horrible tragedy will be felt for…
