Ellison WatchThe new Muslim Congressman from Minnesota’s 5th District, Keith Ellison, infiltrates Congress this week, and so he will be made privy to all sorts of secrets that jihad-sympathetic contributors to his campaign would love to get their hands on.
Thank you, Minnesota.
Gee, Ellison's history with Louis Farrakhan, or the support he received from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) might have influenced my vote. But the fact that he spoke to the North American Imams Federation (NAIF) shortly before six imams coming from the conference were removed from a U.S. Airways flight headed to Arizona - well that would have cinched it for me.
It will be interesting to note on which committees the fair-minded multicultural Democrat Leadership will place him. How about the U.S House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence? The House Armed Services Committee? The Committee on Homeland Security?
Front Page Mag asks:
When Congressman Ellison places his hand on the Quran, to which people is he swearing an oath to protect? Is it the American public – many of which went blindly into the voting booths to choose him – or is it his friends, our enemies?
Ellison needs to be given a chance to prove himself a patriot. He also needs to be watched.

Another clincher would have been the shouts of "allah akbar" at his rallies.
Multicultural nuts would call me islamophobic. That's fine, but lets look at the final words all the suicide bombers and the 9/11 high-jackers used, sure wasn't "Oh Lord, please forgive me" now was it.
Nope, muslims in this country havn't proven their loyalty to me.
Great post, Chris

I didn't know about that. Sends chills, does it not?
You didn't know about it because it probably didn't happen and was something fabricated by some right-wing radio nut.
Any sources on this other than your own delusional mind, Janice?
From Wiki:
Allah Akbar
This phrase is recited by Muslims in numerous different situations. For example, when they are happy or wish to express approval, when an animal is slaughtered in a halaal fashion, when they want to praise a speaker, during battles, and even times of extreme stress or euphoria. The term has gained relative infamy in the eyes of some Westerners, who only encounter it as a battle-cry.
It means God is Great.
So, it appears that Janice disapproves of someone proclaiming the greatness of God -- be they Muslim, Christian or whatever.
Be on the watch for "El dios es grande" -- that way you can combine two of your irrational hatreds.
And since when does anyone have to prove their loyalty to you or anyone else?
I haven't 'proved' my loyalty to you. Does that mean you distrust me?

Center,
It's not everybody who has to prove loyalty. Only the ones whose loyalty is in question. People like Ellison, who has ties to, or support for, questionable groups, like CAIR or Hamas. This is from FrontPage Magazine (http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24619):
What is so troubling about Ellison’s connection with Awad and CAIR? Mowbray quotes the assessments of two leading Democrats: Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois has declared that CAIR “is unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its association with groups that are suspect.” New York Senator Charles Schumer, once said that CAIR “has ties to terrorism” and that Ellison’s supporter Awad has “intimate connections with Hamas.” Mowbray establishes the latter point from Awad’s own mouth, quoting his 1994 statement: “I’m in support of the Hamas movement.”
So, yes, Ellison does bear watching, and he needs to prove his loyalty to the US and its interests.
To anonymous:
The following is from a December 25, 2006 piece from the Detroit Free Press:
"Speaking in Dearborn late Sunday night, the first Muslim elected to Congress told a cheering crowd of Muslims they should remain steadfast in their faith and push for justice.
"'You can't back down, you can't chicken out, you can't be afraid, you got to have faith in Allah, and you got to stand up and be a real Muslim,' Detroit native Keith Ellison said to loud applause.
"'Allahu akbar'" - God is great - was the reply of many in the crowd....
"'Muslims, you're up to bat right now...' he said. 'How do you know that you were not brought right here to this place to learn how to make this world better? How do you know that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, - (meaning praised and exalted is he) - did not bring you here so that you could understand how to teach people what tolerance was, what justice was? How do you know that you're not here to teach this country?'"

Dang that Detroit Free Press fabricating stories like this. They are as bad as those right wing radio nuts!
Anonymous, maybe you should do some checking yourself before accusing others of being delusional nuts. It doesn't say much about your own grasp on reality.
Seems to me that you people have a MAJOR problem with anyone who is not a Christian expressing their religious views.
Turn this around. What would be your reaction to a Arab Christian being chastized and berated in an Arab country, simply for being Christian?
It just reveals your underlying religous bigotry and hatred.
Sad, really.
Read this and tell me why Muslims abroad hate America.

And don't bother with the "They're terrorists, they don't any rights" bullcrap.
It's stuff like this that is ruining America. America used to stand for something and stood fast on the moral highground. That is until the sleazy SOBs took over.
O deus é grande
(watch out for the Portugese)
Center,
Bóg jest cudowny!
(Watch out for the Polish)
I hate to burst your bubble, but Arab Christians who converted from Islam are often killed for their new faith in Arab countries, so your hypothetical is a little too real and not helpful to your point.
The problem with Ellison isn't that he's Muslim. It's that he's a Muslim with ties to and funding from groups and individuals that are or have been tied to terrorist organizations. It's Ellison, not all Muslims.
I know Muslims who love being Americans, and I wouldn't mind having them in Congress. Ellison, I mind.
BTW, we just swapped one set of sleazy SOBs for another set. Same story, different characters.
Mon Dieu est magnifique!
"Seems to me that you people have a MAJOR problem with anyone who is not a Christian expressing their religious views... It just reveals your underlying religous bigotry and hatred. Sad, really."
Actually mclefty, you miss the point of concern. As skyepuppy has already expressed, it has nothing to do with him expressing his religious views. He is as free to do that as any of us are. The problem is the goals and actions of the organizations with which he affiliates himself.
Ellison received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from CAIR excecutives (see Wikipedia), and apparently also from "an official from a group that participated in a 'tribute' to the Iranian despot Ayatollah Khomenei and leaders of what is considered the political front in the U.S. for the Muslim Brotherhood" (see 9/12/06 article in Human Events).
As you likely know, Co-Founder of CAIR, Omar Ahmad was quoted as saying: "Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting, keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam ... Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
Similarily, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper has said: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of
the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."
It is the fact that Ellison aligns himself with groups whose leaders espouse such views that cause many of us concern. He is welcome to tell us all day long that Allah is great... but when he takes money from executives of an organization that many believe would like to see the overthrow of our government, and which even Dick Durbin says has terrorist ties, it seems appropriate to express some concern.
If that makes me a hateful bigot in your eyes, so be it.
In reality, this is an indictment of Minnesota voters. Apparently they are too backward to see through Ellison's ruse. Not as suh-fist-tah-kated as us Hoosiers.
I guess if any of you really have a problem with it, you should move up north so you can vote against him.
anonymous3 -- it does. So thanks for admitting it. Very gracious of you.
Thanks for defending my statement everyone.
Now mclefty, it's not so much the voters of Minnesota, just the Somali muslims in Ellisons district, that voted for him. But that's what muslims were told by the Saudi funded publication for new muslims in America.
(the proof of this comes from Freedom House, look it up) Concentrate yourselves together, and then take over little by little.
One more thing mclefty, "allah akbar" when translated correctly means allah (or our god) is greater, not the God of the Bible or Torah, my God. Big difference, I don't believe in allah.
Call me hateful, call me xenophobic, call me islamophobic. But I do know that I'm an American and this country and the God of the Bible and Torah hold my loyalties.
