CAIR's Congressman

Barring a cataclysmic event, Minnesotans tomorrow will elect the first-ever Muslim to the U.S. Congress, and odds are the media serenade won’t be far behind.

What remains to be seen, though, is how many journalists will be willing to strike a discordant note by questioning Keith Ellison on his Nation of Islam past or his open embrace of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group founded by two self-identified supporters of Islamic terrorism.

You should add the new London mosque to this slide show.

This only shows the flaw in our democratic system when even the enemy (Muslim) can win a congressional seat.

We are at war with militant Islam, but you wouldn't know it from the Pentagon, which is busy erecting a shrine to Islam just five short years after Islamic terrorists destroyed a good chunk of its own building and killed more than 100 of its occupants. Worse, it's consulting on the project with a Wahhabi-educated cleric posing as a moderate.

Last week, military brass -- along with representatives from the terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations -- dedicated the first Muslim prayer center for the Marines as a symbol of the military's "religious tolerance" and "respect" for the faith the enemy uses to attack us.

+ Already, plans are in the works to build by 2009 a bigger mosque at the Marine base in Quantico so Muslim service members can have a "proper place" to worship, and one that "honors their religious heritage," officials say, not realizing that the mosque can also be used by the enemy to build a Fifth Column inside the Marines.

Not every Muslim is our enemy.

The problem with this clown is not his religion but his support for CAIR.

Right....but, EVERY terrorist IS Muslim.

[3AngelaD]

I agree with you completely. We will be defeated by our own "tolerance."

[353FMG]

"Not every Muslim is our enemy."

Not many Muslims are our friends. The fact that he supports CAIR certainly does not make him our friend.

Right....but, EVERY terrorist IS Muslim.

I think the British might disagree with you on that one.

The terrorists we are fighting right now are Muslims. That does not make every Muslim a terrorist.

It isn't his religion that ought to disqualify him from office, but his policies. His political views would be no less damaging to the country were he a Christian, a Jew or a Zoroastrian.

[highball]

The fact that he supports CAIR certainly does not make him our friend.

My point exactly. Policies, not religion.
