I first mentioned the Keith Ellison controversy more than a week ago (7.12.2007 in what to Read) when it was still fresh and mostly ignored. It has grown bigger since, and now it's backlash time. The anger and amazement at Ellison's words have turned into an understandable fear of overreaction.

‘Cause Jewish men are kinda required to keep their balls?
But I’m just guessing.
I still in possession of mine tyvm :)
Keef X is pig scum.
Because Xians are afraid of Muslims.
Because they thought he was a Republican?

Hafta agree. Many non-Jewish Freepers equally outraged.

LOW BLOW!
I know. Awful.
Evidently the commentator for Am Ha aretz doesn’t frequent FR. There was certainly quite a lot of criticism of Ellison from non-Jewish posters here.
We all went after him. At least all of us who don’t carry long curved knives which are not for eating.
Democrat Keith Ellison is now officially the first Muslim United States congressman. True to his pledge, he placed his hand on the Quran, the Muslim book of jihad and pledged his allegiance to the United States during his ceremonial swearing-in.
Capitol Hill staff said Ellison's swearing-in photo opportunity drew more media than they had ever seen in the history of the U.S. House. Ellison represents the 5th Congressional District of Minnesota.
The Quran Ellison used was no ordinary book. It once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and one of America's founding fathers. Ellison borrowed it from the Rare Book Section of the Library of Congress. It was one of the 6,500 Jefferson books archived in the library.
Ellison, who was born in Detroit and converted to Islam while in college, said he chose to use Jefferson's Quran because it showed that "a visionary like Jefferson" believed that wisdom could be gleaned from many sources.
There is no doubt Ellison was right about Jefferson believing wisdom could be "gleaned" from the Muslim Quran. At the time Jefferson owned the book, he needed to know everything possible about Muslims because he was about to advocate war against the Islamic "Barbary" states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli.
The Radical Muslim has been at war with us since 1801.
Jefferson's victory over the Muslims lives on today in the Marine Hymn, with the line, "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we will fight our country's battles on the land as on the sea."
Exactly
He’s a Nazi. He needs to be liquidated. And no I’m not a Jew.
I mean, I wouldn't want Ellison's people to hurt my feewings by callin' me (just) an Islamphobe - again.
His homie bloggers at Powerline were all over him like “slut” on Paris Hilton.
Amazing how a trojan horse can get by congressional security.
