Enter politics, Muslim advises

What a great American (puke)

"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. But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education."

Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesperson 1993

Keith Ellison is following in Ibrahim Hooper's footsteps, but he's taking it one step further by attempting to replace the Constitution with Sharia law using the electoral process.

I call this political Jihad. It's the next logical step in the "peaceful" takeover of America by Islam.

Islam and the West will never be able to co-exist in the same time and same place. See my previous post.

Enter politics, Muslim advises

WEST CHESTER TWP. - Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., made history last year when he was sworn in as the first Muslim congressman. On Sunday, he urged local Muslims to make history of their own.
"Since I've been in Congress, I've learned a few lessons. Perhaps the most important lesson I've learned is that the Muslim community in America really sees itself as a community that has a lot to offer," Ellison said. Ellison spoke to a couple hundred people during a regional conference at the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati that dealt with family and community issues. His hour-long speech, "Civic Responsibility: Muslim-American Engagement in the Political Process," combined humor, frustration, empowerment and politics.
"You climbed up the ladder. Are you going to pull it up after you?" Ellison asked those in the crowd who have reached a level of success.
"No," he answered for them. "We have to get busy on these problems."
Ellison said things haven't been easy for Muslims in the post-9/11 world, but he told the crowd they have two choices: They can "get bitter or get better.
"Getting better," he said, is part of an effort to become active and learn what's going on around them.
"I think the beauty is we can change it through the ballot box," he said, advising people to run for office if they want to make a difference.

The Detroit native served two terms in the Minnesota statehouse before entering the national political scene. His decision to be sworn in using a Quran that had been owned by Thomas Jefferson caused a stir in a nation accustomed to politicians taking oaths using a Bible.
In his second year in office, Ellison said he has learned to deal with ignorant comments about his religion. "It's water off my back," Ellison said, shrugging off such comments that he says are far outweighed by positive ones.
This year, Ellison was joined in Congress by Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., who became the second Muslim elected to Congress when voters elected him to finish his late grandmother's term.
Telling the children in the audience they can become politicians or anything they want to be, Ellison closed with words of encouragement for them: "The sky is the limit for you."
