Muslim congressman called 'security' issue
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | June 8, 2007

The Muslim congressman from Minnesota who used a Quran for his swearing-in ceremony now is cavorting with the Muslim American Society, and either should distance himself from that group – or resign, say critics.

As WND has reported, Ellison also allowed his election supporters to shout, "Allahu Akbar!," the same phrase allegedly used by the 9/11 suicide pilots, and he has confirmed to reporters that "in terms of political agenda items, my faith informs these things."

Regarding Ellison's speech last month at the Muslim American Society's annual conference in Minneapolis, Joe Kaufman, founder of Americans Against Hate, warned, "This is of grave concern."

In an article at FrontPage Magazine as well as in a news statement, Kaufman said: "Not only is it a conflict of interest for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives to participate with such groups, but it is, as well, an issue of national security. Those in positions of power must demand an end to Keith Ellison's dangerous and bigoted associations. Either that or they must insist on his resignation."

As WND reported earlier, it was in 2000 when Ellison joined Bernadine Dohrn, one of the founders of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground, and several other speakers at a fundraiser for then-recently arrested Kathleen Soliah, a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson.

Soliah – who along with a small band of Bay Area radicals took in Bill and Emily Harris and Patty Hearst, the last surviving members of the Symbionese Liberation Army following the May 17, 1974, shootout in Los Angeles – had been on the run since the three SLA "soldiers" were captured in September 1975.

If this is so, why are Teddy Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi and so many more still in office? I am sure they failed the Test miserably.

To imply that it somehow means he has terrorist sympathies is either a misunderstanding or a black slander.

Allahu Akbar may "simply mean" God is great but it is also what the murderers of Daniel Pearl cried as they cut off his head.

And the last words heard by three Christian girls in Indonesia, who were beheaded as Ramadan "trophies."

And the 14 year old Christian Assyrian boy, who was decapitated at his work place last October.

Or the 12 year old boy who beheaded his victim, urged on by adults crying, "Allahu Akbar."

Oh, and lets not forget the 9/11 terrorists -- and on and on and on ....

And so it goes -- all over the world -- wherever people cry out "Allahu Akbar.".

I don't know of another religion that intones their god so eagerly during the butchering of their fellow human beings.

The moral relativists among us will point to some event in 1200 AD or some whackjob, but -- all over the world -- Muslims are crying Allahu Akbar as they merrily go about their business of murder.

If that's a black slander -- sue me!

Allah is not my God. They use it as a metaphore for Mohammed is great but are afraid to say it because it would hurt their image.

IMO Ellison is no worse than any member of the Congressional Black caucus. Its a hate organisation.

Its the black KKK.

re: Allahu Akbar! The literal translation of this into English is not ‘God is great!’...it’s ‘Allah is the greatest (god)!’

It is what the false prophet taught his mercenaries to scream at the top of their lungs when riding down on innocent farmers (to slay the men, enslave the women and children and steal their land and possessions). It is used by every Muslim who commits an act of jihad...as well as 5x per day to call the faithful to the ‘peaceful’ mosques throughout the world.

“The Muzzie problem in this country is only going to get worse!”

We need to act upon this BS like yesterday or we’re going to end up with the same problems the British are now facing ...being over and under run by the supercilious and totally untrustworthy Muzzie element. The day is coming when the non-Muzzie citizens of this country will be forced to act in defense of this country because our government seems to lack the foresight or the balls to protect US. We desperately need our version of el Cid, (Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar).

Minnesota, in its desire to prove how diverse and free thinking they are to the rest of the world didn’t just allow this to happen, They openly voted and advocated it!

Now the rest of us are stuck with this p.o.s. for at least another year and half. During which time, Ellison has access to all kinds of information vital to this country.

I sincerely apologize for the election of this man. He is from my district and I campaigned for his opponent Alan Fine. It was a strange race, a Muslim against a Jew. I was truly shocked when he won I must not have worked hard enough, again I am sorry.

“in terms of political agenda items, my faith informs these things.”

Imagine if he were Christian and said this.

He swore his oath on NOTHING, just like the other members of congress. They just stand in the hall, raise their hands, and take the oath.

LATER, in a photo-op that most newbies do with the speaker, he used a Koran. But that wasn’t the real oath.

He also swore using the wrong hand in that oath, from what I’ve read about oaths he was to use his right hand on the quran, and he put his left on it. (the left hand is the dirty hand, in both a spiritual and physical sense).

I did a short blog on this, showing a muslim in the middle east taking an oath properly, and the almost creepy picture of Ellison taking his oath with Pelosi the wrong way. I think they had some female holding the quran as well, probably another no-no to strict adherents but I’m not really all THAT versed on muslim law.

I'm at a loss to explain 'Peasment Pelosi. This is one Californian who has never voted for her...
