The first Muslim congressman elected in America, Keith Ellison spent Christmas Eve exhorting the greatness of Islam in Dearborn, MI. He had the crowd cheering and celebrating with his remarks.
- "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.
This is the same chant they use as they slaughter and kill innocent victims across the entire world.
- 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.
- Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat elected to the U.S. House, has been the center of a national debate in recent weeks over Islam and its role in politics. Ellison has said he would take his oath of office on the Quran, the Muslim holy book, igniting a storm of criticism from some commentators. And U.S. Rep. Virgil Goode, a Republican from Virginia, said in a letter to constituents this month that the election of Ellison and other Muslims poses a danger to the country.
- But Ellison said in Dearborn that Muslims can help teach America about justice and equal protection, suggesting that Muslim activists may be part of God's plan.
The hypocrisy here is overwhelming for reasonable minds to comprehend. Muslim activists living by the word of the Quran to murder all infidels? There is no mention of justice and equal protection in the Quran or any of the Hadiths issued by Islam’s clerics.
- "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?”
Excuse me? Teachings from the barrel of a gun, dynamite vests of your suicide bombers or maybe a sword at my neck demanding conversion?
- A convention, which ends today, drew more than 3,000 Muslims from across the country for an event aimed at revival and reform. It featured workshops and panels on a range of topics from civil rights to politics to how to spread Islam in the U.S.
Is this an example of civil rights and spreading Islam?
- “On Jan. 4, I will go swear an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. I’ll place my hand on the Quran,” Ellison said while placing his hand on the lectern, to loud applause and cries of “Allahu akbar.”…if we turn to the Quran for guidance, we'll find an answer to the questions we have. And we will find that we are an asset and a plus not only to our own community, but to this country, and to this whole world.”
We now have the camel’s nose under the tent. Ellison will take his oath on the Quran…which proclaims all other documents null and void…and that includes our own Constitution. America is asleep at the switch in their ignorance while Muslims are delighted that we continue to ignore their agenda.
