First Muslim congressman encourages crowd to push for justice
Detroit Free Press ^ | 12/25/2006 | Niraj Warikoo

Posted on 12/26/2006 3:40:10 AM PST by EBH

DETROIT - Speaking in Dearborn, Mich., late Sunday night, the first Muslim elected to Congress told a cheering crowd of Muslims they should remain steadfast in their faith and push for justice.

"You can't back down, you can't chicken out, you can't be afraid, you got to have faith in Allah, and you got to stand up and be a real Muslim," Detroit native Keith Ellison said to loud applause.

"Allahu akbar" - God is great - was the reply of many in the crowd....

..."Muslims, you're up to bat right now. . ." he said. "How do you know that you were not brought right here to this place to learn how to make this world better? How do you know that Allah, sallalahu aleyhi wasallam," (meaning peace be upon him) "did not bring you here so that you could understand how to teach people what tolerance was, what justice was? ... How do you know that you're not here to teach this country?"

I've had all the lessons about that stinking syphilitic pedophile I care for, thanks.

Remember the person saying this is a US Congressman to be sworn in on Jan. 4th.

"How do you know that you're not here to teach this country?""

Yup. They taught us everything we ever wanted to know about islam on 9/11. Now go back home and never darken our skies again, neanderthals.

I wonder what the media response would be if George Bush encouraged Christians to stand up and be a real Christian.

This is pretty rich coming from a Muslim. Regardless of their 'radicalization' muslim countries are not know for their tolerance.

How do you know that you're not here to teach this country?"

"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future...But I'm not going to do anything violent to promote that. I'm going to do it through education." -- Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR Spokesperson

“Once we are here, our mission in this country is to change it ... There is no way for Muslims to be violent in America, no way. We have other means to do it. If we are outside this country, we can say, 'Oh, Allah, destroy America.'" --Abdulrahman Alamoudi, 1996, at an Islamic conference in Chicago -- (In 2004 Alamoudi was sentenced to a 23-year prison sentence for violating anti-terrorism sanctions, including a plot to kill the Saudi ruler.)

“Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” -- Omar M. Ahmad, Chairman of the Board, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Conference in Freemont, California, July 1998 -- San Ramon Valley Herald in July 1998

The day will come when we will rule America. The day will come when we will rule Britain and the entire world. -- Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris, speaking on Palestinian Authority TV, May 13, 2005

All you got to do is listen to what these people are saying. They don't even attempt to hide their agenda.

Exactly...here's his quote:

"You can't back down, you can't chicken out, you can't be afraid, you got to have faith in Allah, and you got to stand up and be a real Muslim,"

Now put Jesus and Christian in the place of Allah/Muslim

"You can't back down, you can't chicken out, you can't be afraid, you got to have faith in Jesus, and you got to stand up and be a real Christian"...

If any politican said that it'd be on the front page of every paper and being condemned by the MSM en masse.

"On Jan. 4, I will go swear an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. I'll place my hand on the Quran," Ellison said while placing his hand on the lectern, to loud applause and cries of "Allahu akbar." He urged Muslims to thank God for testing them over the past several weeks. "Before you begin to think that some hardship has befallen you, you need to stop and thank Allah," Ellison said. "Because this controversy has . . . made people dust off their Constitution and actually read it."

BS.

"Muslims, you're up to bat right now. . ." he said. "How do you know that you were not brought right here to this place to learn how to make this world better?

Of the collective...STRIKE ONE.

How do you know that Allah, sallalahu aleyhi wasallam," (meaning peace be upon him) "did not bring you here so that you could understand how to teach people what tolerance was, what justice was?

For the collective...STRIKE TWO.

How do you know that you're not here to teach this country?"

By the collective...STRIKE THREE!

Keith, you were just up to bat, and YOU struck out. You have struck out in the past, you are striking out in the present, and you will strike out in the future. Swinging Mohammed's autographed bat and striking out all of the time will eventually cause other teams to quit playing this game.

Tolerance should start with denouncing the head-choppers and those who force others to convert under threat of death.
