Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday she would name the first Muslim lawmaker to the Houses 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 Securitys 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.
Carsons office didnt 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.
Unfortunately I live in Andre Carson’s district (gerrymandering) - Be afraid........be very afraid.
yep and yep
yep and yep
Why does he still go by his “slave name”?
Just remember, you are their “thing” ... This is not about conquest of territory, trade routes etc. This is a religious war and you, like it or not, are their enemy - all of them. All muslims regardless of whether they are soldiers (jihadis) or not (moderates) are obligated to support the soldiers in any way possible.
BullShitte!
Intelligence. Homeland security. Armed forces committees. A clear pattern. Would obviously make someone one of our islamoNazi enemies’ most valuable assets behind our ( weak) defense lines — a veritable Supermole with nearly unlimited access to all of our secrets. If, of course, he were a Muslim. ( what’s that you say????? He’s What?!)
Now there’s a constructive approach to defeating the jihad.
Pelosi? Intelligence?
Not hardly!
Democrat women are stupid or ugly and oftentimes both!
Sounds like something Bill O'Reilly might say.
All Muslims are either terrorists, financing terrorist, or just given approval by their silence.
All muslims want to see America under their domination and under their Prophets control.
Either by force or by force.
No, but he’s passing stuff to Pakistan for something else, apparently...
Awan brothers...
