An apology issued by Barack Obama to two Muslim women booted from the front lines of a public appearance by the Democratic presidential candidate last week was orchestrated by Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to Congress.
Multiple congressional sources confirm that it was Ellison, D-Minn., who confronted Obama over the issue during a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus.
Obama called the women to apologize after two volunteers with the campaign removed the women from the stage area behind the location where Obama would be speaking. The volunteers allegedly told the women it was because they were wearing traditional Muslim scarves.
Sources told FOX News that it was Ellison who raised the issue of the alleged impropriety with Obama and provided the prospective nominee with the womens phone numbers.
One key lawmaker who was present described the exchange between Obama and Ellison as cordial but direct.

Hebba Aref, was an official of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), in charge of proselytizing. The Chicago Tribune identified the MSA as part of the American manifestation of the Sunni terrorist group, Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen--The Muslim Brotherhood. Aref served on the executive board of the University of Michigan-Dearborn's MSA, which demanded and obtained tax-funded Muslim foot baths at that university,
Shimaa Abdelfadeel, the other woman allegedly excluded by the Obama campaign, was chair of SAFE, a University of Michigan-Ann Arbor group that hosted the 2002 Divestment Conference against Israel at which "Annihilate the Jews!" was chanted and Islamic Jihad founder Sami Al-Arian was keynote speaker. She's the author of vehement anti-Israel propaganda.
If Obama is truly sorry he’ll prop Muslims in his campaign scenery.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
BTTT
It’s nice to see the Congressional muslims working together to advance the purposes of the Democrat party.
(do I really need it?)
Ping to the infidels—also read the description of the two Muslim women in post #1.
Muslims of a feather...
Ellison and Obama know that the two Muslim women involved are radical Muslims who support Muslim terrorism against our country and Israel.
Where are the journalists with the integrity and courage to tell the truth?
You've got to be kidding.
The Greatest Generation shared the last of honest journalists back in their day.
Everything we face today is a result of the nasty 60's democrats who hate America, Israel and their militaries.
Today's media beast is quite an ugly juggernaut, but thankfully we have talk radio and forums like Free Republic.
Which I've said before and I'll say again was an orchestrated 'rejection' of Muslims to prove to the white liberal common folk that he's not really a Muslim.
He didn't boot them. He PRETENDED to boot them.
B. Hussein has the American Muslim vote. Funny how the Koran forbids Muslims to have anything to do with non-Muslims but stone them, but yet somehow he's 'Da Man' for Muslims.
Isn't anyone but me wondering how that can be?
This is how we sink him! He cowers to short ugly muslim converts who swear their oath on the Koran!
Oh, spank me!
Now he will be forced to include hijab wearing women in his visible entourage. Maybe burkas too.
Is this boob in over his head yet?
Wait till the real campaign starts. The RNC hasn't begun. Thay haven't needed to, with these clowns and their self-inflicted messes.
Expect Rush to lead his show with this tomorrow.
True. The whole thing was a set up to begin with.
But those displays don’t make it into his nationally televised appearances. Yet.
The muslims should realize that Obambi has to lie and deceive the ignorant masses to get elected.
“If Obama is truly sorry hell prop Muslims in his campaign scenery.”
Which was the plan all the time.........
