Congressman Islamist?

An excellent and scary piece from Front Page Magazine on Congressman Ellison and the MAS-MN convention:

Anti-Semitism and Keith Ellison seem to gravitate toward one another. It was the case throughout the 90’s, when he was heavily active in the Nation of Islam (NOI), and it was the case just last weekend, when he gave the keynote address at the 4th Annual Convention of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.

The Minnesota chapter of MAS, the chapter that Ellison addressed, has striven to uphold the Ikhwan legacy, by propagating materials authored by past Brotherhood leaders, like Hassan Al-Banna (Egypt MB founder), Sayyid Qutb, and Syed Abul Ala Maududi (Pakistan MB founder).


Congressman Ellison has a history of associating with with the more radical groups of Islam- from the Nation of Islam to the Muslim Brotherhood. Coupling his associations with Koranic teachings, especially Sura 33:1, and I have to ask, who is Ellison serving- the 5th District of Minnesota or the Ummah?
