 
 <prompt> Washington (CNN) -- Leading American Muslims on Wednesday strongly criticize dis week planned congressional hearing into di alleged radicalization of members of their community, calling am unfair attack on loyal citizens and a dangerous break from di traditional U.S. embrace of tolerance and pluralism. 

Rep. Peter King, di chairman of di House Homeland Security Committee, don talk say Thursday hearing na necessary to explore di extent to which al Qaeda dey try to influence and indoctrinate U.S. Muslims, among other things. But im plans don create wahala, with critics accusing Republican leaders of bigotry and comparing di hearings to Sen. Joseph McCarthy's allegations of Communist infiltration for di early years of di Cold War. 

American Muslim leaders don also take issue with King's assertion say dem no cooperate well with law enforcement officials, and dismiss im claim say di overwhelming majority of mosques dey run by extremist imams. Such claims dey "demonstrably false," said Nihad Awad, executive director of di Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). 

"Except for a tiny minority," extremists don find "no fertile ground for America," im talk. Im talk say King dey do "fear-mongering," and call di New York Republican "unfit" to head di Homeland Security Committee. 

"We no dey deny as a community say something dey happen, say bad actors dey for every community," said Imam Johari Abdul-Malik, a member of di Council of Muslim Organizations. King dey "onto something, but im dey go for di wrong direction." 

And Attorney General Eric Holder also talk, disputing King's premise say Islamic leaders no do enough to help police during a news conference Wednesday afternoon. <response>: 1. American Muslims
