Dem Rep. Ellison: Islamist Terrorism/US Income Inequality—Same Struggle!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/17/2014 6:17:04 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Whatever the question, politicians have a way of working their issue of the day into the answer. Dem Rep. Keith Ellison took that tendency to new heights today.

Asked on Morning Joe to explain the disproportionate amount of terrorism against the United States that emanates from the Islamic world, Ellison, the first Muslim Member of Congress, asserted that it is the struggle for democracy, not the Islamic faith, that motivates the terrorism. In a giant leap, Ellison then compared people in Islamic countries "who don't want to yield power to the vast majority" . . . to the struggle in the United States over . . . "income inequality."

Ellison—Islamist terrorists struggle for democracy, as people here struggle for income equality. Ping to Today show list.

And bin Laden attacked NY and DC because he grew up in poverty?

These Leftists just make up things as they go. So what if they lie? The media will cover for them.

US Income Inequality? It must not be too ‘inequal’ or we wouldn’t have hundreds of thousands illegally trying to get into this nation.

Congressmen should not be paid more than the average weekly wage of the citizens in their district.

And anyone registering as a democrat should have all income over $90,000 a year taxed at a rate of 99.7%.

Of course it’s the same struggle; they both have the same enemy: freedom and the traditional American way of life.

Morning Jerk should ask the Israelis, Copts, Zoroasstrians, Animists, African Christians, Bahais, Armenians, Hindus and Greeks about the “disproprotionate” share of Islamic Terrorism aimed at the U.S.

Liberals are such historical ignoramuses.

Just like Ayers, Dhorn and other Whites who were part of the weather underground who came from privileged backgrounds and pretend to be "down for the struggle".

Notice how NONE - NOT ONE - of these Muslims EVER apologize for the crimes of Islam. And that is simple. Attacking non-Muslims in any way possible, including ENSLAVING THEM - is permitted, encouraged and lauded by Islam. As a matter of fact, it is one of their religious “duties”.

Thanks, MN-5 voters. You’ve given the country quite a winner there.

The same moron,* the one and ONLY muzzie in the House,* actually supports the Wisc teacher's union position to allow at least some convicted sex offenders to work in the public schools. What does this tell us?

Then why are Islamic countries the poorest in the world? Could it BE because of their VIOLENT OPPRESSION not only of Christians, but women, children, and minorities even who share their radical faith? The private hell of those oppressed by Islam is constantly on my mind and in my prayers.

The enemy has been within for some time and is growing.
