Pelosi to name first Muslim lawmaker to House intelligence committee
Politico ^ | 1/13/15 10:32 AM EST | By Lauren French

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday she would name the first Muslim lawmaker to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

A senior Democratic aide said Rep. André Carson of Indiana would be named in the “coming days” to the key national security-focused panel. The California Democrat told lawmakers of the appointment during the members’ weekly caucus meeting.

Carson would be the first Muslim to serve on the committee and was the second Muslim to be elected to Congress. He already serves on the House Armed Services Committee and worked for the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center — the clearinghouse established by the federal government to streamline data sharing between the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice and the military.

The intelligence committee will most likely tackle a series of high-profile international crises during the 114th Congress, including the threat of Islamic militants and Ukraine.

Carson’s office didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

The announcement comes in the wake of a terrorist attack in Paris by Islamic extremists that left 12 people dead. World leaders gathered on Sunday for a 1 million person “solidarity” protest against the violence that targeted French Jews and journalists.

Anyone who follows the koran is a potential terrorist. Period.

Does my homepage imply that I usually condemn millions of people for the actions of thousands? If so, I’ll be glad to change it.

And all the progressive liberal democrat communists say AMEN!

And “We The People” sit astounded, but remain seated; this atrocity in the grand scheme of things will fade quickly, to be stacked on the shelves for the many trophy’s accumulated by the enemy within.

If you believe there are only a few thousand involved you are mistaken.

By my estimation, it could be a total of 999,999 individuals for me to be correct.

“All terrorists may be Muslim, but all Muslims are not terrorists.”

Those who are not jihadis are required to support the jihadis in all ways they can - usually with “charitable donations” which go to the Islamic soldiers aka jihadis.

What’s the difference? One group kills, the other group (aka moderate muslims) supplies and supports those who kill ...

If you’d like to condemn all of them, a la the Japanese in WWII, then you can give it a shot. Not my thing, though.

Intelligent caution should rule our thoughts at this time, and it is neither intelligent, nor cautious to draw into our inner circle, the thought processes of the enemy

Catholics try to protect themselves from infiltration by refusing to marry a mixed couple unless they go through indoctrination classes and elicit a vow from the non-Catholic (if he or she will not convert) to rear any children as Catholic.

Nancy Pelosi is a cancer in American politics and the appointment BY her is not politically healthy

Put a dirty kid in a room with a clean kid to play and come back in an hour .... the clean rubbed off on the dirty kid and he is now clean ....

No ...... wait a minute ....THAT ain't right

etc., etc., etc.

The people of Indiana elected him. So it's on them.

Pelosi is another story. She's everyone's problem.

Just what America needs as Islam’s war on Western civilization escalates.. A weak and naive female, eager to submit and surrender to her Mandingo-Muzzie master. He will call her a B*TCH and she’ll LOVE IT.
