"In a political first, a Muslim has been elected to serve in the U.S. Congress.

Keith Ellison, a Minnesota state legislator and lawyer, reached the political milestone by defeating two other candidates in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, which covers the Minneapolis area.

His victory was part of the Democratic wave that seized control of the House of Representatives from the Republicans."

Nope. I guess it's his religion that made him well-known.

Quote:

...ties to an Islamic group that supports terrorism and a radical cult whose leader says God will destroy the entire white race and establish a paradise nation ruled by blacks.

...was endorsed and partly financed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a massive U.S.-based organization that avidly defends Osama bin Laden and other militant Islamic terrorists and considers U.S. action against terrorists anti-Islamic. In fact, the group demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing bin Laden as ?the sworn enemy? because it was ?offensive to Muslims.?

...also has strong ties to the Nation of Islam...The group?s doctrine states that black people created white people in a genetic experiment 6,000 years ago and that ?Judgment Day? means that the Gods will destroy the entire white race (devils) and establish a paradise nation ruled forever by blacks.

...as a state legislator Ellison supported and defended a convicted cop-killer and leader of a violent gang. Ellison used thug-like language to attack law enforcement officials as racists saying ?we don?t get no justice, you don?t get no peace.? Ellison also supports and demands freedom for another convicted cop-killer named Assata Shakur, who lives in Cuba and remains on the FBI?s most wanted list.

President Bush may be a dumbass, but I doubt even he would be dumb enough to vote for this guy.

For all white, non-Muslims who voted for this guy - why on earth would you vote for someone who wants to kill you? Are you stupid or what?

DjSap · 11-09-2006, 08:24 AM

let's hope he doesn't bomb the hill...

ObnoxiousBitch · 11-09-2006, 08:41 AM

ahem... Mr. Ellison is NOT made of cloth! (he's MusliM)

PZ Myers posted from his own atheist-Minnesotan POV here: Minnesota puts "evil in high places". Some of the comments he highlights from the Rapture Ready folks are mind-boggling.
