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?"

Wonder what else was discussed at this convention?
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.
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.
Wonder if they passed out suicide belts?
"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?"
This is pretty rich coming from a Muslim. Regardless of their 'radicalization' muslim countries are not know for their tolerance.
"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.
Simple! Feed us to the lions!

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.
"Has this 'muslim' yet loudly denounced the actions of fanatics of his religion ???"
Not that I've seen.
"Justice" is a muslim code word for genociding Israel.
Of course "Justice" means a world cleansed of the infidel.
Shouldn't "Americans" respond in English?
