Muslim congressman called 'security' issue

The Muslim congressman from Minnesota who used a Quran for his swearing-in ceremony now is cavorting with the Muslim American Society, and either should distance himself from that group – or resign, say critics.

As WND has reported, Ellison also allowed his election supporters to shout, "Allahu Akbar!," the same phrase allegedly used by the 9/11 suicide pilots, and he has confirmed to reporters that "in terms of political agenda items, my faith informs these things."

Regarding Ellison's speech last month at the Muslim American Society's annual conference in Minneapolis, Joe Kaufman, founder of Americans Against Hate, warned, "This is of grave concern."

In an article at FrontPage Magazine as well as in a news statement, Kaufman said: "Not only is it a conflict of interest for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives to participate with such groups, but it is, as well, an issue of national security. Those in positions of power must demand an end to Keith Ellison's dangerous and bigoted associations. Either that or they must insist on his resignation."

As WND reported earlier, it was in 2000 when Ellison joined Bernadine Dohrn, one of the founders of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground, and several other speakers at a fundraiser for then-recently arrested Kathleen Soliah, a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson.

Soliah – who along with a small band of Bay Area radicals took in Bill and Emily Harris and Patty Hearst, the last surviving members of the Symbionese Liberation Army following the May 17, 1974, shootout in Los Angeles – had been on the run since the three SLA "soldiers" were captured in September 1975.

Amazing, isn’t it.

Knowing what I know about the strange proclivities of Minnesotans, I’m willing to believe anything about them, but I would really love to see how the votes breakdown in his district. Obviously he had a sizable Islamic vote, but did he really have a majority, and if so, who or what put him over the top? A lot of these races also depend on the nature of the opposition. What turn out to be fatal flaws and miscalculations may start and end there. Was his opposition cowed at the prospect of making Ellison’s “constituency” the issue, for fear of being smeared as Islamophobic? There really shoulda been a concerted effort to go after this guy and what he obviously stood for, REGARDLESS of how many Muslims there were in the district.

Back in the late sixties, when the crime in the "big cities" began to escalate and all those riots broke out in places like Newark, Detroit, DC, and Watts (LA), the Twin Cities were considered one of the safest and most livable metro areas in the country.

I suppose nowhere else in the country has the (Bobby and Teddy) Kennedy immigration law of 1965 had more of a negative impact.

I live in the 5th CD, and you can’t swing a dead cat around here without hitting a “Bring em Home” sign.

I don’t know of another religion that intones their god so eagerly during the butchering of their fellow human beings.

Some Muslims, mainly from Somalia, most of whom are not citizens so can’t vote. What Ellison is, is the pride and joy of the hard left, A.N.S.W.E.R, Code-Pink types, of which he have in abundance, in addition to those who are yellow dog democrats. for all pratical purposes the republican party doesn't exist in Mpls.
