Rep. Ellison: 'People Have to Step Up' Against Muslim Ban (Attacks Cruz, not Trump)
Newsmax ^ | December 9, 2015 | Cathy Burke

Posted on 12/09/2015 1:23:36 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Muslim congressman Keith Ellison says he rejects Sen. Ted Cruz's refusal to denounce Donald Trump's call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, declaring "this is the moment where real integrity is on the line."

In an interview on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," the Democratic House lawmaker from Minnesota declares "people have to step up."

"This is the moment we're in and I don't accept Sen. Cruz saying, 'Well, I'm not going to pile on, I don't really agree,'" Ellison said. "No, this is the moment where real integrity is on the line.

"And people have to step up and say that persecuting a religious minority and scapegoating them is absolutely unacceptable. That's the moment we're in."(continued)

Mr. Cruz should challenge Rep. Ellison to publically reject Sharia Law.

Ellison says it’s wrong to persecute a religious minority,
unless that religious minority are Christians in a Muslim country.

Or, unless that religion is Christianity in America - then persecute away!

Somehow I must have missed the FRONT AND CENTER denouncement of the jihadist couple from this rep Ellison, [even though I regularly pay attention to news fairly consistently.] no?

He attacks Cruz because he considers him an evangelical republican. Ellison is a muslim. That is why he hates Cruz.

I support Trump because I want my President to support what has always been true in America. The document the founders crafted to allow freedom of religion. Islam is not just a religion, it is political system incompatible with the Constitution.

My POTUS only has to understand and support that distinction.

Suspension Of Entry Or Imposition Of Restrictions By President

Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States
would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for
such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants
or nonimmigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

"And people have to step up and say that persecuting a religious minority and scapegoating them is absolutely unacceptable.

Islam is not a religion it is a religio-socio-political belief system and is therefore not entitled to the protections afforded other religions under the Judeo-Christian tradition.

You don’t think other religions are or have historically been “religio-socio-political belief systems”?

or Jews...

I’d imagine Rep. Mo despises Jews just as much as Christians.
