CONG. KEITH ELLISON JOINS CONGRESSIONAL TASK FORCE ON ANTI-SEMITISM
THIS FOLLOWS ELLISON’S SPEECH IN FRONT OF GROUP CALLING FOR MURDER OF JEWS
(Coral Springs, FL) Congressman Keith Ellison is touting on his website that he has been named to the bi-partisan Congressional Task Force on Anti-Semitism (CTFAS). This, after Ellison gave a speech in front of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society (MAS-Minnesota), a group that propagates material on its website calling for the murder of Jews.
The Congressional Task Force on Anti-Semitism was founded through the Congressional Human Rights Caucus by Holocaust survivor, Congressman Tom Lantos. The group was launched in the beginning of August. According to the Human Rights Caucus, “The Task Force’s primary role is to bring to light specific cases of anti-Semitism and educate Members of Congress, world leaders and citizens about the horrors that these cases pose on society.”
Last month, CTFAS invited U.S. Congressman from Minnesota, Keith Ellison, to join its group — only three months after Ellison gave the Keynote address to the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society, a group propagating the worst of anti-Semitism on its website, including calls for the murder of Jews. Some of the statements found on MAS-Minnesota’s site include:
“The Holy Prophet (and through him the Muslims) has been reassured that he should not mind the enmity, the evil designs and the machinations of the Jews...”
“In view of the degenerate moral condition of the Jews and the Christians, the Believers have been warned not to make them their friends and confidants.”
“If you gain victory over the men of Jews, kill them.”
“May Allah destroy the Jews, because they used the graves of their prophets as places of worship.”
A counter found on the homepage of the American Against Hate (AAH) website is keeping track of the number of days that Ellison has refused to condemn the Muslim American Society for spreading such hatred. It is currently at 89 days. AAH demands that CTFAS remove Congressman Ellison from its group for refusing to condemn MAS.
AAH Chairman Joe Kaufman stated, “It is highly offensive for a Congressional task force on anti-Semitism to allow a man that willingly speaks in front of anti-Semitic groups to be associated with its organization. CTFAS needs to end its relationship with Ellison immediately.”

I had to re-read this to understand your comment! :)
That just means he wants to keep people on topic, I’ve met him at a previous event. Joe is a Good Guy.
Also, people don’t have to worry about hauling signs this way, HE does it.
Good to know!
Isn’t that pretty much what we did in Germany? Did anyone get their column dropped for suggesting it? Didn’t think so.
That’s a nice...though not that subtle...hint. lol
I love it!
IF YOU DO I’LL BUY IT FROM YOU.
You should tell Kaufman, if he wants to have any credibility himself, that "Irregardless" is NOT a word.

AAH TO HIGHLIGHT ACCUSED DEATH SQUAD LEADER DURING PROTEST AGAINST MUSLIM DAY PARADE
KHAN SAID TO BE PART OF 1971 BANGLADESHI GENOCIDE
(New York, NY) Americans Against Hate’s protest against the Muslim Day Parade and Congressman Keith Ellison will begin Sunday at 12:30 pm, in Manhattan, at the northwest corner of 26th street and Madison Avenue.
The protest will touch on various past Marshals of the parade. They include Siraj Wahhaj, a radical imam whose name appears on the U.S. Attorney’s list of unindicted co-conspirators of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and Muzammil Siddiqi, the past President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) who threatened America, in October of 2000, saying, if the U.S. “remains on the side of injustice, the wrath of G-d will come.”
As well, one of the parade’s former Marshals was Ashrafuzzaman Khan. Khan was a past President of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA). Khan is also an accused death squad leader of the 1971 Bangladeshi genocide that left up to three million people dead.
AAH Chairman Joe Kaufman states, “There are many Jews, myself included, that are concerned that Nazis from World War II are roaming the earth without having been brought to justice. It is the same for Bangladeshis, whose family and friends were systematically slaughtered in 1971. Many of those who perished were professors and intellectuals. Many were children. If we want to accomplish one thing at this protest it is to bring to light this travesty that occurred over three decades ago.”
Numerous pictures of Khan, along with his “MARSHAL” ribbon, are found on the website for the parade.
Americans Against Hate is asking all concerned citizens to join its peaceful demonstration against the Muslim Day Parade and Congressman Keith Ellison.
When: Sunday, September 9, 2007, 12:30 pm – 3:00 pm
Where: Manhattan, New York, northwest corner of 26th Street and Madision Avenue.
Joe Kaufman will be speaking at the protest.
There will be refreshments.
ALL SIGNAGE AND FLAGS WILL BE PROVIDED BY AMERICANS AGAINST HATE.

Thanks for the ping, Race. Very interesting. BTTT!
I’d evacuate into the crater though.
I always thought that advocating forcible overthrow of the government was beyond the protection of the first amendment.
Goodness, you awake??
Only if you are a Christian or Obversant Jew....
