Is Congressman Aaron Shock (Il-18) afraid of being associated with a strong community of Muslim citizens in the town of Peoria? Is meeting with a community of academics, medical professionals, and technical leaders a political death for a republican congressman? That seems to be the case. I have learned from a reliable source that the congressman has refused to meet the Muslim community. In addition, attempts to find a date that would suit the congressman have unfortunately failed.
In the years after 9/11, any association with anything or anybody related to Islam scares many politicians. They must be afraid of supporting "terrorists." Patriotism is driving a divide between law-abiding citizens and their potential representatives.
