Ellison and Carson should instead be blocked from Congress for their opposition to the First Amendment. They are desperately afraid of Wilders because he enunciates truths that most politicians in Europe and the U.S. don’t dare tell. Like their fellow Islamic supremacists, they are fascist authoritarians who want to silence forcibly those whom they hate and fear, rather than dealing on the level of ideas and showing where Wilders is wrong. They could be challenging him to a discussion or debate. But they know they’d lose and would be exposed, and so instead, they’re trying to keeop him out of the country.
“Muslim Congressmen Want To Block ‘Islamophobic’ Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders From Entering US,” by Chuck Ross, Daily Caller, April 28, 2015:
…Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison and Indiana Democratic Rep. Andre Carson penned a joint letter to Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson last Thursday. Foreign Policy reported it on Tuesday.
“We write to raise our deep concern regarding the visit of Mr. Geert Wilders, a Dutch lawmaker known for perpetuating Islamophobia,” the Democratic lawmakers wrote, citing a 1998 law, the International Religious Freedom Act. The law allows the State Department to deny foreign leaders guilty of “severe violations of religious freedom” from entering the U.S….
On Sunday, Wilders travels to Garland, Tex. where he will give a speech at the American Freedom Defense Initiative, an event hosted by Pamela Geller. That group will hold its inaugural “Muhammad Art Exhibit” and will award a $10,000 prize for the best cartoon depiction of Muhammad. The contest was created in response to the Islamist massacre at the Paris headquarters of Charlie Hebdo earlier this year.But Ellison and Carson believe that Wilders’ past criticism of Islam — and he has indeed been critical — is hate speech and that it warrants him being kept out of the U.S.
“We respectfully request that the U.S. government deny Mr. Wilders’s entry due to his participation in inciting anti-Muslim aggression and violence,” wrote Ellison and Carson, the first and second Muslims to be elected to national public office, respectively. “Mr. Wilders’s policy agenda is centered on the principle that Christian culture is superior to other cultures.”…
While noting that freedom of speech is “a bedrock principle” that distinguishes free societies from oppressive regimes, “free speech…is not absolute,” the letter reads.Geller called Ellison’s and Carson’s evidence of “sharia,” or Islamic law.
“It is revealing that these Muslim congressmen would show themselves to be enemies of free speech and free discourse,” Geller told The Daily Caller. “They cannot refute Wilders and don’t dare debate him. All these little authoritarians can do is try to prevent people from hearing his message.”
Prinz Eugen says
Time for Wimp Boehner to censure Ellison and Carson — but alas, Boehner is so far up sultan Barry’s rear end, he cannot be seen or heard anymore. The GOP leaders are in full loyalty to the sultan and his iran worldwide caliphate!
Joseph says
UHHH……These guys are Democrats, not GOP
JuanColina says
Of course they want him banned. What else would anyone expect from these moronic followers of a long dead warlord?
Marty says
A long dead murderous, sadistic, child abusing, blasphemous warlord.
In the UK an allegedly conservative Home Secretary banned Wilders a few years back.
It’s like banning Churchill because of his views on Nazism.
Bezelel says
( deny foreign leaders guilty of “severe violations of religious freedom” from entering the U.S….)
That sounds like a good idea to deny those types. We should not even allow immigrants from those type of countries. Of course it doesn’t apply to Mr Wilders but rather every islamic state on the planet.
Tom Cherian Mullammootil says
We should also enact immigration policy not to allow immigrants from countries that do not allow “gay marriage” in the spirit of inclusiveness. — lol
Bezelel says
There’s a big difference between persecution of gays and not recognizing their marriage claims. One is on topic the other is not.
Keith says
Is gay marriage a form of Islamophobia? Maybe it is only the act of inviting a muslim to a gay marriage that is Islamophobic. I will have to ask my local Labour candidate for the UK elections now that his leader Ed Miliband has stated that he will make Islamophobia illegal.
Jay Airahs says
One excellent method for Muslims to block Islamophobia is to stop Islam’s daily butchery.
epistemology says
How many Congressmen are there in the US? Two are only a fraction and they want to lecture the rest of Congress what’s right and wrong. They’ve got no idea about freedom of speech, okay there are limits but it’s not up to them to define these limits as in Islam everything goes according to sharia. Muzzies are sharia obsessed and that doesn’t belong in the civilised world. They always talk about religious freedom but there is none of that in Islamic countries and Geert Wilders never said anything against freedom of religion only against sharia and other Islamic habits non-palatable for Westerners.
Geert Wilders never said that Christian culture is superior to other cultures, he only said that Western culture is superior. What do muzzies say about their own culture? Leave that to you.
Tom Cherian Mullammootil says
Even if he said Christian Culture is superior to other cultures that is perfectly fine because that is free speech.
Peace,

Spot On says
Judeo-Christian Culture and Western Culture are so intertwined that it would not be possible to distinguish. It is what it is and we know it as being civilized. If you take out Judeo-Christian Culture, what do you have left? Probably Islamic Culture. Maybe death and destruction. Maybe something worse, if that is even possible.
Geert Wilders is great with his direct approach to tell the truth. Islam can not survive a truthful accounting and he provides that. These two cockroaches in Congress need to be stepped on.
Angemon says
And exactly how did Mr. Wilders committed this alleged “severe violations of religious freedom”? The only way I can think of would be that by warning other that islam mandates subjugation of non-muslims he made it difficult for muslims to carry on their stealth jihad.
You’re requesting, but not respectfully.
Let me guess: no example of this alleged “participation in inciting anti-Muslim aggression and violence” was brought forth. This kind of allegations were brought up before, and he was judged in a court of law. Spoiler alert: he was acquitted.
What?!?!?! Suggesting that the culture that brought us the Renascence, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Age, to name a few examples, is somehow superior to, for example, a culture that would have us drinking camel urine and having sex with children in imitation of the man considered to be finest example of conduct?!?!?! How dare he?!?!?! How very dare he?!?!?!
So basically, they’re but-heads:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV9Vyht5HG4
No, free speech is not absolute. One does not get to shout fire on a crowded theater and excuse oneself with free speech, nor does one get to call upon people to commit acts of violence. But as far as I know it, Mr. Wilders has done no such thing so far. In fact, he already stood trial for the crimes these muslim scumbags are trying to pin on him, and he was acquitted. It all boils down to this: they don’t like what he has to say and they feel entitled to silence him.
Jay Airahs says
I would guess that unlike wavering Ayaan Hirsi Ali who has offered up a few morsels of appeasement under the onslaught of character assassination by Muslim groups, Geert Wilders apparently did not get the ‘memo’ that he should confine his words to speaking about the need to “Reform Islam” as if an image makeover were to be the solution to all that ails Islam.
abad says
Muslims should not be allowed to hold public office in the United States since they are so anti-American

HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH ANOTHER ELLISON AND CARSON DSPLAY OF FEAR ABOUT TRUTH.
I have said this in at least 10 different ways for the last couple of years : they are clueless on “hide your strategy” tactics. Such blatant incompetence would be amusing if it were not so pathetic. ELECTED MEMBERS OF OUR CONGRESS ?
A halfway bright 12 year old could do better at concealing personal fascism + opposition to free speech . . . but, hey, Ellison and Carson profess to actually believe that God’s word is in the Quran’s hatred and violence.
AND AS ALWAYS I GIVE A SHOUT TO THEM — BECAUSE THEY OBSESSIVELY READ EVERY WORD HERE AT JIHADWATCH.
Jaladhi says
Muslims have truthophobia about Islam, Quran and Mo/allah. They can’t stand anybody telling the truth about this religion of murder and rape!! Thats why they threaten, intimidate, kill .. and do anything to prevent truth from coming out – just in case the general public gets educated about them. For last 1400 years they have followed this policy and thats how they have survived so far. Let the truth about Islam and Mo/allah be known to everyone including Muslims themselves and see how fast this cult disappears from the face of the earth!!
EYESOPEN says
Yep. Already many are starting to open their eyes to the truth — that izlam is NOT a “religion of peace”.
Georg says
I see quite a few Islamic guys walking around who seem to be pushing “severe violations of religious freedom” on their shrouded wives. Why is it the “oppressed” are so continually the beneficiaries of selective enforcement?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Why is it the “oppressed” are so continually the beneficiaries of selective enforcement?
Fear. Nobody wants to be mocked and shunned, or worse, murdered.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
I’m originally from Carson’s Indianapolis district and now live 15 miles from Ellison’s district in Minneapolis. So I wince when these two geeks come up, thinking maybe I’m a curse on the continued life of civilization. Frequently in Eden Prairie to shop, there are Moslems everywhere I turn. Could it be that me, APF, is a pox on freedom and light?
My, it’s a reel shock to see two Moslem politicians acting in the interest of The Cause by curtailing free speech without regard to the law and the naiton’s interests.
It looks like they want to give Wilders the ol’ Spencer/Geller treatment, but in reverse. I wish them the worst of luck in that.
Arthur says
While most of the time we encourage people to write letters to politicians, perhaps this is a case where the rest of the country should be writing letters to the electorate in these two districts. Maybe we could help them understand the error of their choices and the truth about Islam. I sincerely doubt there is a Muslim majority in the districts to justify the election outcome.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Actually, that’s a good idea. The voters in the two cities simply think that it’s hip that its is hip to have a congressman from an exotic religion, one that they’re told is known for its high ethics for behavior and work. It also helps that the religion is misunderstood and its members suffer discrimination.
There is also a racist element: they think that black dudes are more likely to succeed at being good people if under the thumb of a strict belief system, in other words that blacks need to be held down to be made civilized.
Oh the irony.
Keith says
If you have a problem with the local mosque that requires you to write to your Congress man or Member of the House of Representatives (hope I have those correct, live in the UK) and he is a muslim who would you write to?
Beagle says
Muslims never lack chutzpah. Wilders has been facing credible death threats from Muslims for a decade. Critics of Islam have been assassinated in numbers for centuries. Islamic jihadists are waging a nearly global war on seemingly a daily basis. But Ellison and Carson claim Wilders is dangerous. It’s audacious and outrageous, but I would not assume under this administration that it will not work. Obama threatened and harassed a small town preacher who was considering burning a Quran and jailed the Muhammad film maker after a very publicized arrest.
At best Wilders has a chance of getting in. The legacy media would never come to Wilder’s defense if he is denied. I doubt many Republicans would either, and virtually no Democrats.
traci94 says
These two should be banned from being representatives of the US, and absolutely NO ONE should be able to take an oath on the Qur’an! If they can’t take an oath on the Bible, at least use the Constitution, but NOT the Qur’an. a totally hate filled book that is the antithesis of freedom and democracy
Lynn says
Sounds like the content of phone calls to Congress. We have to rattle their cage every time. Every time. now…they need to know we know they know we know they know…
Nimrod says
It makes no sense to allow someone to take an oath to uphold the constitution on a book that tells people to lie in order to overthrow the “man made” constitution and establish sharia law.
Edgar Allen says
Time to get off our asses and start acting. Mr. Spencer, please call for demonstrations of support for Geert Wilders. Organize a time and place and call us to appear.
Start a petition to Kerry to allow free speech. And all of us had better get on the social media and work the phones to call all the people you know to sign it.
If they want to ban people “who severely curtail religious freedom” they should block all Saudi and Iranian diplomats from entering the U.S.
profitsbeard says
I wish Ellison would call for Obama’s imprisonment for treason for releasing terrorists back to the battlefield during wartime, including ISIS leader Al Baghdadi himself.
(I know… in a sane world… which leaves most of this one out.)
Wilders is one of the few defenders of Civilization left in the West.
Not afraid to call Islam the malignancy that is clearly is.
Nor to name Mohammad (SWAT!) as a mass-murdering maniac.
EYESOPEN says
Now why in the world would Ellison do that? He’s part of the problem.
Papa Whiskey says

mortimer says
Spencer wrote: “They cannot refute Wilders and don’t dare debate him. All these little authoritarians can do is try to prevent people from hearing his message.”
It would be hilarious to watch Ellis get mangled in a debate with Wilders. But most Muslims are cowards. The all know that debate favors opponents of Islam, because Islam is amoral, anti-intellectual, intolerant and misogynistic.
Muslims always lose debates, so they run from them and hide their hate speech by accusing others of it.
jihad3tracker says
Hello again Mortimer —- Yes, you used the perfectly applicable word (COWARDS) for Islamo-Fascists who go beyond the rather nice Five Pillars, into stealth jihad. They actually are forced to dive in to dialogue with Infidels, and of course rhetorical trouble starts. Two examples :
1. Several years ago, the world-famous creative-writing teacher Poofy-Poof Reza Aslan got on Reddit for an “Ask Me Anything” session. Robert Spencer found out about that and jumped in to Reza’s When Poofy Reza encountered Robert refuting a deception, Reza ran away.
2. At one of John Esposito’s Saudi-endowed ACMCU Georgetown University confeerences, the superb journalist Andrew Harrod (JD, PhD) tried to get a comment about “Islamophobia” from thug attendee & Espositeo operative Nathan Lean — but, as Harrod wrote, Lean turn curtly on his heels and retreated without speaking.
Scratch the skin of a supremacist and underneath is a — pardon my language — pussy. Ellison and Carson are cowards & pussies. Continually showing that over and over. Don’t bet good coin that they will ever smarten up enough to change.

“Mr. Wilders’s policy agenda is centered on the principle that Christian culture is superior to other cultures.”…
*************************************************************************************************************************
And this is the Reason…the whole reason, and nothing but the reason….they don’t want him.
They had no objection to akdamenajad coming here many, many, times while he was the president of iran. He incited others to violence, and was a trouble-maker, Jew-hater non-stop. He spouts that islam is the only way to go….the caliphate, the 12 th imam, the whole *superior* picture, and they didn’t object.
So, it is Christian persecution by these two muslims…who are supposed to represent the entire population of their voting bloc….not just muslims who view their *culture as superior” to all others.
They don’t want Mr. Wilders because he tells the truth and they can’t handle the truth.

Regrettably, Andre Carson is my lame excuse for a representative. If his last name weren’t Carson, he wouldn’t be a U.S Congressman at all. He inherited the office (OK, the Dems did hold a meaningless primary to affirm the coronation) from his grandmother.
Some time back he was extolling the educational virtues of madrassas and explaining how superior they are to American educational methods. Of course, because U.S. public schools are largely the fiefdom of the AFT and NEA, saying that a madrassa is better isn’t that high a bar to meet.
We in the 7th District deserve better representation but we’re stuck with this guy until they carry him out feet first. Or he’s caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy, and maybe not even then.
Marblenecltr says
Ellison and Carson, in theiir positions in the body of government where our laws are written, are serving the cause of sharia. It is followers of Islam who established and perpetuate Islamaphobia. The hatred for and killing of those not following the apostle can not be hidden.
William Lucas Harvey Jr. says
Very typical of Islam and Muslims.
Crying and Whining we are the “Religion of Peace”, as well as “Racist”, “Bigoted” and “Islamophobe”, to anyone who exposes the TRUTH about Islam – this “Grand Deception” NO longer works for Islam, as in the very appropriate words of BNI, “It Isn’t Islamophobia When they really ARE trying to kill you”.
Tom Cherian Mullammootil says
It is very simple to defeat any of kind of censorships/ban of Greet Wilders.
If any decently popular personality on radio or TV calls on his millions of followers to burn Quran publicly if this government bans Greet Wilders then I am sure this administration will reverse any ban to avoid burning of Quran.

They cannot refute so they name-call and smear. It’s a tactic — distract and destroy.
“They cannot debate so they destroy. All that is left to them is to try to silence us forcibly by vandalizing our printed messages and smearing and defaming the messenger. It is the tactic of thugs and fascists, and should be opposed by all free people”

Ron says
There is no such thing as “Islamophobia – AKA “An IRRATIONAL fear of Islam.” Ask the hundreds of thousands of Christians in The Middle East and around the Globe who have been raped, tortured, burned alive, crucified , and beheaded solely for being Christians minding their own business if they had an irrational fear of Islam.
Ask the two Muslim scumbags in Congress – Keith Ellison and Adre Carson – who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution – , if these Christians had an irrational fear of Islam or Muslims. By trying to silence the barbarity and butchery being committed by Muslims totally intolerant of others’ religions and freedoms what is happening in plain sight, and being shown on a million news sources and video sites like Youtube around the world, cide of Christians, Ellison and Carson are, in fact, giving their whole-hearfed approval to IslamoFascism.
Ellison and Carson are drenched in the bloods of the innocents, and have made a total mockery of the Constitution and, in particular, the 1st Amendment, by denying to over 300 Million American citizens their GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS to fredeom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of dissent.
If this happened during World War II and two US Congressmen demanded that Congress deny entry to any of the Jews who escaped the Warsaw ghetto and came here to warn America about the Holocaust, they would have been shot for treason.
In today’s liberal Fascist-run America, our allies are attacked, our enemies are worshipped, and our Constitutional rights as natural-born citizens are denied their natural-born and legally guaranteed rights to speak freely and worship freely because the Government Fascists in Washington have robbed everyone of their rights and they, alone, determine what everryone should say, think, and believe.
If any of the above is not in step with their own fringe beliefs, they are attacked as EXTREMISTS, theiur businesses destroyed, their livelihoods destroyed, and eventually their right to life is sacrificed on the altar Political Correctness and Communistic conformity.
The Lawless Left who burn down businesses after looting them,, and atrtack white police officers because this is Fascism 101 and they are doing the job of asgitation that Obama, Holder, and Pelosi hired them to do.
It isn’t paranoia when the government really is out to get you.
It isn’t racism to report being attacked by a roving band of black youths just because you’re white and happened to be inside the Mall when the teen thugs decided it was “Kill Whitey” night.
AND, it certainly isn’t this phony, invented nonsequitur called, “Islamophobia,” to talk about how ALL of the immigrant Muslim populations that were invited into EVERY MAJOR CITY IN EVERY EUROPEAN COUNTRY not only refused to assimilate into that country’s culture, they set up their own Muslim enclaves where non-Muslims are forbidden to go lest they be attacked, but they also refused to obey the country’s laws and robbed the country’s citizens of their own rights by attacking their religion, their culture, their right to life and privacy, and engaged in raping rampages of white Western women because they don’t dress in full-body sacks.
And if you dare to complain, they scream that you’re a “RACIST, ISLAMOPHOBIC CRUSADER!” even if you are not Christian and know nothing about the Crusades of the 12th & 13th Centuries. Meanwhile, they, too, have governments run by cowardly Communist and Fascist freak shows who blame the raped, battered, and bleeding non-Muslim victims of “Islamophobia.” Or, should I say the “Islamophilia” of the Governments sworn to protect their own countrey and citizens from harm.
ISLAMOPHILIA: “the Brotherly Love of ISLAMIC BARBARIANS.”
“Burn, baby, burn!” has replaced “E Plurbus Unum” as the unifying message of the American Left.

A point that I believe is very important to make is that neither Ellison nor Carson were born muslim. They weren’t brainwashed in islam from birth, they both chose to convert to this sick, murderous religion.
jihad3tracker says
EXCELLENT POINT ! ! !
Read Ellison’s Wikipedia page or his official bio (I forget which one has this info) : it says he converted at age 19. So he has had decades to study Islam and see its rampage of slaughter, rape, intimidation.
What a deeply sick human — or maybe that is too respectful a description — Keith Ellison is if he cannot gather enough courage leave it. Too spineless to do so . . . The same goes for Andre Carson.
voegelinian says
All Muslims, whether they were born into it or not, have a choice. They are all responsible for continuing to enable that dangerous ideology. A few may be deemed to be in a dire situation of being violently threatened by their co-religionists (including their friends, family, and neighbors); unfortunately, however, we have no real way of knowing, on a macro scale (the only scale relevant to our broader safety) which ones are genuine closet apostates.
vlparker says
I don’t disagree with anything you said. But it is still very telling that as an adult Ellison made a conscious decision to convert to a religion founded by a mass murderer. He wasn’t inculcated before he had enough knowledge to think for himself.
bobm says
Either way; ban Geert or admit him to speak truth to America…and you lose Mr. Obama.. the FACT IS THE emperor has no clothes.

Larry A. Singleton says
Both of these scum, Carson and Ellison, have blocked me and deleted my comments on their Facebook pages. Traitors. This is the reason I’m no longer a Democrat.
The Obama Timeline author says
From TheCompleteObamaTimeline.com:
[I]n June 2009 Ellison (also known as Muhammed Hakim), a socialist, refused to answer questions about his 2008 pilgrimage to Mecca, which was paid for by the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Minnesota—an organization with ties to Islamic extremists. (It is illegal for a member of Congress to accept any gift in excess of $50.) An Ellison spokesman told the Minnesota Star Tribune that the Congressman paid for his own trip, but an annual congressional disclosure form filed by his office shows that his November 29-December 14 trip was paid for by MAS-Minnesota. That organization’s official publication, The American Muslim, has defended Palestinian “martyrdom operations” against Jews and other non-Muslims. Ellison, who once said, “I want socialism, and I want it now,” is a member of the Islamic Society of North America and a friend of Holy Land Foundation co-conspirator Jamal Said. In November 2006 Ellison appeared on the North American Imams Federation (NAIF) program, along with Mazen Mokhtar (an al-Qaeda web site designer) and Siraj Wahhaj (1993 World Trade Center bombing co-conspirator).
Ellison (who took the oath of office using the Quran rather than the Bible and is a supporter of the virulently anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan) was the keynote speaker at the annual convention of the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Minnesota, which supports the terrorist group Hamas. The MAS web site states, “If you gain a victory over the Jews, kill them,” and “A Muslim must always worship Allah and wage jihad until death… Regularly make the intention to go on jihad with the ambition to die as a martyr.” Ahmad Abousamra, one of the persons named as a conspirator in a Boston terrorism plot to attack mall shoppers with machine guns, is the son of Abdu-Badi Abousamra, former vice-president of the Boston MAS—the largest Islamic center in the northeast. Ellison has referred to the U.S. Constitution as “their” Constitution—meaning “the white man’s Constitution.” Ellison has also stated, “The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it.” In January 2009, at the CAIR annual meeting, Ellison encouraged his fellow Muslims to apply for some of the 8,000 jobs available in the upcoming Obama administration. He remarked that now that they have a president with the middle name “Hussein,” no Muslims should shy away from work in the government. Ellison has argued that ObamaCare’s disincentive to work is a good thing because “people might be able to actually cook dinner rather than [get jobs and] have to order out to get some take-out [food].”
Andre Carson is the Congressman who claimed he heard people yell “nigger!” 15 times when members of the Congressional Black Caucus walked through a crowd of anti-ObamaCare demonstrators to get to the Capitol Building in March 2010. Carson and the others were accompanied the entire length of the walk by a police officer; the video of the scene shows no reaction from the officer—let alone the “hundreds of people and Capitol Police” amassing to “protect” them—as Carson claimed. Carson has stated, “The Tea Party is stopping that change. And this is beyond symbolic change; this is the effort that we are seeing of Jim Crow. Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us [blacks] as second class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me …hanging on a tree. Some of them right now in Congress right now are comfortable with where we were 50 and 60 years ago.” On June 12, 2012 TheBlaze.com reported that in an address to the Islamic Circle of North America/Muslim American Society, Carson “empathized with fellow followers of Islam over how difficult life was for them after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11th, 2001. The congressman cited racism and Muslims losing their jobs as a direct result of how ‘tough’ life was after the terror attacks. ‘It is very true that all of us are under tremendous strain right now—9/11 was tough on Muslims. Those of us who were in the workplace faced exacerbated prejudice, unrelenting bias, and in many cases, some of us were terminated from our jobs. It was tough to be a Muslim in the workplace.’”
Carson complained that Muslims in the United States were “under attack” and “must not retreat.” “Now,” said Carson, “it is unfortunate that there are those who are thinking that at this convention right now we’re having secret meetings, that we’re plotting to destroy this country, but I say to those who are here under cover, Allah will not allow you to stop us.” Pamela Geller has noted, “Between January 2008 and June 2014, Carson received 55 separate political donations (totaling nearly $34,000 altogether) from terror designated Muslim groups the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim American Society, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.” (Carson has no business even being in Congress, let alone sitting on the House Intelligence Committee.) WND.com reported, “A Washington-based think tank focused on national security has released a dossier on Muslim U.S. Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), charging his association with radical Islamic groups warrants his removal from the House Intelligence Committee. The Center for Security Policy, in its report, called for a ‘rigorous assessment of the potential risks associated with Rep. Carson’s vulnerabilities to recruitment, blackmail or suborning.’ …Carson received a $5,000 campaign contribution in 2008 from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror-financing trial in which the federal judge found ‘ample evidence’ of CAIR’s links to Hamas. Carson received another $1,000 from CAIR in 2014. Carson, however, has an even larger relationship with another radical group, the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, which was listed by the Muslim Brotherhood as a ‘likeminded’ organization that shares the goal of making the U.S. an Islamic nation. The congressman received more than $30,000 in campaign contributions ‘from individuals associated with CAIR and with the Islamic Society of North America, which was also named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case,’ the Daily Caller reported.”
