JOINING THE CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS ON INDIA AND INDIAN AFFAIRS — (Extensions of Remarks - May 01, 2007)
[Page: E905] GPO’s PDF
-—SPEECH OF
HON. KEITH ELLISON
OF MINNESOTA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2007
Mr. ELLISON. Madam Speaker, Indian Americans have contributed greatly to the vibrancy, creative thought, and diversity of our Nation. The large and growing population of Indian Americans in Minnesota has enriched our neighborhoods and communities and continues to play an important role in improving the lives of all Americans. It is with these advances in mind that we celebrate the growth of relations between the United States and India and look forward to promoting a closer friendship amongst our two countries.
I’m proud to join the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Affairs and look forward to working with my fellow Members of Congress through the promotion of our shared values and concerns. I stand with India and Indian Americans in promoting peace, prosperity, and happiness for all the world’s people.
Note that Rep. Ellison is the America-hating Nation of Islam Congresscritter who took his oath on a Koran. He has been outspokenly anti-American in his public utterances.
What is frequently forgotten is that India is a Hindu nation. On my trips to India everyday people feel the same attacks on their values and beliefs that Christians complain about here in America.
There is complete freedom of Religion there, I have met Buddists, Muslims and Christians in my trips and never once had any of them seemed afraid. The problems arise when the guests in the country start attacking the traditions of that nation ( sound familiar huh ? ) There are several missionary groups who slander Hindu tradition and proclaim theirs is the only way.
So before you slam India think a bit about the “ guests “ here in America that put down our way of life and how we would respond if forced to do things the way they say is right.
