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.

Amen! I’ll take a 100 Virgil Goodes over most of what we have in DC today. A man with backbone and courage. We need more like him not less.
In just after the zot.
“In just after the zot.”
Yeah, the disappearing Whack-A-Troll. KUDOS to the Moderator! At least the Free Republic’s borders are well protected.
Exactly!!! Well said.
Kinda sad though, as I was just about to have some real FUN with that BOZO.
Hope my response didn’t confuse you, the wires got crossed on my end.
Like I just said, the wires got crossed on my end and they were both hot.
Clearly you’re not from Virginia. If you heard the stuff he says on a daily basis, you wouldn’t be such a petulant child. Generations from now, we’ll all be dead. You go first.

Muslim American Council had a big fundraiser for Hillary a few years ago, and she KNEW they were bad news because she listed the group on her forms as “American MUSEUM Council”!!! When Hillary’s knows how bad they are....they are BAD!
I think StickToTheFacts is looking for a job with the Ron Paul campaign.
“We’re never going to address the threat of Islam with people like WND and Virgil Goode leading the way.”
We should rely on Karen Hughes?
..to which Pelosi is probably now eyeing up Ellison for a spot in Homeland Security.
How addicted are the Jews who still identify with the 'Rats!
Of course, her FEC reporting re her 2000 Senate campaign is the subject of a soon to be released documentary.
No, Pelosi is now eyeing Ellison for a spot on the House Intelligence Committee! That way, Pelosi's friend Assad can be kept advised./ Sarc
Her lying declaration of April 7, 2006 is going to be torn to shreads.
“Article VI, Section 3 of the Constitution: “The Senators and Representatives before mentioned...shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
What part of that does WND not understand?”
I wasn’t going to say anything, because the overall tone of this thread is pretty clear, but I was wondering the same thing... Don’t congressmen often speak in front of organizations and religious groups? I’ll admit to knowing nothing about this organization, so perhaps I’m speaking out of ignorance, but it doesn’t seem unreasonable for a muslim politician to talk to other muslims.
