Ellison: ‘There’s Nothing Wrong With Being a Muslim
Cybercast News Service ^ | 9/7/12 | Melanie Hunter

Posted on 09/07/2012 1:19:04 PM PDT by Nachum

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the first Muslim elected to Congress and the first African-American elected to the House from Minnesota, said Thursday that when some accuse President Barack Obama of being a Muslim, it’s “as if it’s something to be ashamed of or wrong,” but there’s really “nothing wrong with being a Muslim.” “A not-so-uncommon form of attacking the president has been to question not only where he was born, but his faith, and often that’s by saying he’s a Muslim. Can you talk to me about that, and as a Muslim-American, how does that make you feel?”

Yeah, sure, nothing wrong with BEING a Muslim,

but part of being a “good Muslim” is that little “supremacy” aspect, and that we have to take exception with.

Yes, there is something wrong with being a Muslim as the religion is diametrically opposed to Christianity. The Koran teaches followers to kill those who refuse to accept Islam. The Bible teaches us to love our enemies.

Yes, there is shame and embarrassment in being a part of a religion that teaches such a vacuum of real values. If I believed that way, I'd beat my wife and kill people who disagreed with me too. How can one follow a religion that teaches Satanic values? What an open shame.

Keith learned long ago that if he ever aspired to public office representing the Twin Cities area, he’d never make it as a black Catholic. Hence...Islam.

Prove it Ellison, take your faith back from the malignant savages that you claim do not represent your “religion”. With extreme prejudice if necessary. Then we may (MAY) believe you. Until then your words mean nothing.

Muslims, just like every single person on this planet, need to be saved into the Church of Jesus Christ. With faith, love, and testimony it is entirely possible for many Muslims to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. It is harder to love someone, than it is to hate them. Hate is the lazy man's out. The LORD has brought many foreigners to our shores, and we need to realize that they are here to be saved, but it is up to us to get up off from our spiritual butts and do it.

“nothing wrong with being a Muslim.” Ellison

Keith: Sure there is.
Your denial is just another example of your mental illness, shared by all your wacky fellow ideologists.
Following September 11, 2001, a majority of prominent muslims insisted that muslims played no part in the flying of jet liners into the World Trade Center.
At the same time, the same muslims claimed it to be a great victory for Islam.
You muslims think they can suspend reality, as it suits you. Like Democrats.
You believe that when the facts don’t support their position, the facts can be ignored or changed.
Muslims think the novel `Nineteen EightyFour’ was a civic primer for good government.
Well, you’re all crazier than s***-house rats, Keith.
Do the world a favor: convince all of your fellow muslims to shoot themselves this weekend.
The world will be a much better place.
Sincerely,
td

There’s nothing wrong with Islam that couldn’t be solved with a few thermonuclear weapons.

Other than that, it’s completely worthless, as are the people who follow it.

And it’s not even a religion.

“There’s nothing wrong with being a Muslim”

Yes there is. Islam has no redeeming value of any kind. Its the only religion that does not espouse a higher purpose. Why not just say you are a commnist and leave the religious overtones out of it? Oh wait then you wouldn’t be able to marry a 9 year old, beat her up at will and then go hang with the dancing boys.
