Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim Brotherhood-linked Rep. Ellison claims meeting with Farrakhan and Rouhani “not an endorsement”

Feb 14, 2018 10:37 am By Robert Spencer

And that’s that. He won’t have to resign from his DNC post, much less from Congress. The establishment media will not bother him. He will suffer no consequences whatsoever. The Democrats and establishment media will take at face value his claim to disavow anti-Semitism.

There will be no whisper about his links to the Muslim Brotherhood. Ellison has spoken at a convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Yet ISNA has actually admitted its ties to Hamas, which styles itself the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Justice Department actually classified ISNA among entities “who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.” And in 2008, Ellison accepted $13,350 from the Muslim American Society (MAS) to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim American Society is a Muslim Brotherhood organization: “In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” That’s from the Chicago Tribune in 2004, in an article that is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.

But no one cares. Just imagine the outcry, however, if some member of the Trump administration were discovered to have gone to a dinner hosted by David Duke. The outcry would be immediate and insistent, and there would rightfully be calls for the official’s resignation. No disavowal of racism would be deemed acceptable; the offender would just have to go. Why is this different?

“Keith Ellison says he attended Iranian president’s dinner to advocate for captive American,” by Ron Kampeas, JTA, February 13, 2018:

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep. Keith Ellison, the second in charge at the Democratic Party, pushed back against criticism for his attendance at a 2013 dinner hosted by the Iranian government whose guests included Louis Farrakhan, saying he was advocating for the Iran nuclear deal and the freedom of a captive American.

“As part of the 2013 U.N. General Assembly, and as negotiations were under way for what would become the Iran deal, I attended a meeting with President [Hassan] Rouhani and nearly 50 American Muslim leaders,” Ellison, D-Minn., said in a statement Monday night. “This was not a private dinner, I didn’t know in advance who else would be there, and my decision to attend was not an endorsement of the political views of other attendees.”

Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, was responding in part to a Wall Street Journal op-ed last week noting that Farrakhan, the virulently anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam, also attended the event. The Journal op-ed quoted a Nation of Islam publication as saying the meeting was “private.”

“I attended the meeting to advocate for a peaceful resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue and to press President Rouhani face-to-face for the release of former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, who was illegally detained and tortured by the Iranian regime,” Ellison said. “As always, I disavow anti-Semitism and bigotry in all of its forms.”…

    Exactly. He makes perfectly clear what he was doing. He shows not a bit of shame.

    ‘…I disavow anti-Semitism and bigotry in all its forms…’

    If Taquiyya were an Olympic event, Keith Ellison would win Gold.

      Explanation of Keith Ellison’s disavowal of anti-Semitism : “It isn’t ‘anti-Semitism’ when WE do it.”

      Watch for Ellison at Al Quds Day (hate Israel day).

      If you don’t think most Muslims hate Jews, then go to Al Quds Day… that comes from the IRANIANS, Keith.

      SPLAIN ME THAT, KEITHIE.

        He’s covered in three ways…BLACK, MUSLIM, ELECTED OFFICIAL….If his fellows were not gutless they would demand he resign and if not then kick him out …There sure wouldn’t be any way his district voters would allow him to be recalled. So Washington is stuck with him….Watch out More elected Muslim on the way.

    I’m sure the prophet muhammed was there in spirit amongst them.
    He really loved black people….didn’t he?
    At least when he wasn’t buying and selling them into slavery{sahih muslim 3901}

    {SAHIH MUSLIM 3901}:the (African) Elephant in the room of islam.

    As for anti-Semitism,NOTHING beats allah’s koranic attack on the Jews:-

    “Be ye apes despised and hated”
    Koran 2 v 65

    Apes?To be despised and hated?Are the JEWISH prophets Moses and Jesus Christ.. apes too and to be despised and hated..since they are Jews?

    An evening spent with allah or his “prophet” muhammed would be like having afternoon tea with Hitler.
    {“Listen,don’t say the word JEW to the Fuhrer ..he goes off on a violent rant:like allah does in his koranic tirades against the Jews….}

    And you know the funny part of this by now:allah’s “apes to be despised and hated” include…
    Moses,Elijah,Jesus Christ….Every single Biblical prophet is under allah’s curse since they are all Jews
    {although allah seems to think they are all… muslims;go figure}

    “As always,I disavow anti-Semitism and bigotry in all its forms” says Mr Ellison.Really?

    Even if it comes from allah himself,the koran ,muhammed???
    allah’s cursing of the Jews and Christians in koran 9:30?

    Is Mr Ellison prepared to condemn allah’s anti-Semitic nature?Or Muhammed’s mass murder of Jews {Abu Dawud 4390}?

    Of course not!

    Do people know that ANTIFA is actually a STALINIST organization? Do people know that CAIR is a front for the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD and that the MB is the EGYPTIAN version of the NAZI PARTY???

    In other words, Keith Ellison is endorsed by FASCISTS and COMMUNISTS at the same time?

    Jamie Glazov should explain this to people.

    I actually live in the insane asylum of Minnesota..

    I have interviewed, and witnessed the antics of this unmitigated piece of traitorous trash a number of times, up close and personal..

    His entire career, and even prior to his “community organizer” and rabble rouser position and stage of his life (Keith – “No Justice – No Peace” Ellison) , his entire life here has been saturated with this sort of behavior. He should be forced to resign or face charges of sedition.

    He has been, and IS connected to CAIR, MAS, and “Calypso Louis” Farrakahn’s, The Nation of Islam, for a very long time.. He is their pimp..

    He also has an amazing record as a married philanderer here in Minnesota, having bedded a 19 year old staffer for quite some time, when he was running for congress as well. I am sure his (now – ex spouse) wife and children were and are very proud.

    He actually sought and was granted (A Minnesota judge of course) a “gag order” to prevent her from spilling the beans more than she had already, which stood as a “Court order” against her, until one day after the election, which then put him in congress.

    Ellison is a waste of skin, regardless of color, or per his conversion as a Dearborn MI, born and raised Roman Catholic, to Islam – right along with his ties to the Communist Party there as well.

    Martin Luther King would shun this clown and in a hurry. His complete lack of “content of Character” would cause MLK to condemn this poor excuse for a human being. let alone an American, who took an Oath of Allegiance to this country, and to defend the US Constitution, and “US Constitutional Law”, and NOT a proponent of “Sharia Law”..

    He has violated that oath, and allegiance to the United States of America he attested to many times..

    Over time, he has had many aliases.. From Keith Maurice Ellison (his real name), to (as much as we can keep up with the various iterations) Keith X Ellison – to Keith Hakim Ellison, to Keith Muhamad X Ellison, to Keith Hakim…and so on, and on, and on…

    At the very least, one might be able to question his mental capacity based upon a clear case demonstration of schizophrenia due to all of the above..

    This is all true.

    Ellison is trash..

    Ellison is a waste of skin, regardless of color, or even per his conversion as a Dearborn MI, born and raised Roman Catholic, to Islam – right along with his ties to the Communist/Socialist/Anarchist Party there – and here as well.

    Martin Luther King would very likely shun this clown and in a hurry. His complete lack of “Content of Character” would cause the Reverend Doctor MLK to condemn this poor excuse for a human being, let alone as an American, who took an Oath of Allegiance to this country, and to defend the US Constitution, and “US Constitutional Law”, and NOT a proponent of “Sharia Law”..

    At the very least, one might be able to question his mental capacity based upon a clear case demonstration of schizophrenia due to all of the above AKA’s..

    This is all true.

      Excellent.

      To emphasize just one point on which he has been caught lying, his denial of ever being with the Nation of Islam:

      “Minister James Muhammad, who in the 1990s led the Nation of Islam’s Twin Cities study group, confirms that Ellison served for several years as the local group’s chief of protocol, acting as a liaison between Muhammad and members of the community. He was a “trusted member of our inner circle,” says Muhammad, who is no longer active in the Nation of Islam.”
      https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/keith-ellison-democratic-national-committee-chair/

      “Maurice” has been best buds with CAIR founder Nihad Awad since they attended college together.
      He is everything you say he is and more, and, of course, he made sure he took that Oath of Allegiance with his hand on a Qur’an.

    Islamists and Leftist advocates are all whistling their path to Hell.

    Ludwig von Mises had, according to George Reisman, this following take on Totalitarianism and Socialism:

    Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism is Totalitarian | Mises …

    ▶ 32:41

    There should be two questions to be answered by Ellison. 1) Does he believe that perfidy is permissible in ilsam since the koran states that Gabriel told Muhammad that if it helps in the war against the infidels, it is ok? Does Khaybar Oasis come to mind? 2) Does he or does he not endorse the Boycott, Divestments, Sanctions (BDS) and other actions to force Israel to submit to the Arabs and why did he agree with the abstention of the American vote at the UN when it condemned Israel calling the Jewish State an apartheid state?

    I don’t think that these should be difficult questions to answer with a simple yes or no and then maybe stating the reasons for his answers.

    Keith Ellison Muhammad said, ” Minister Farrakan is a role model for black youth, he is not an anti-Semite”. When Stokely Carmichael said, “Zionism must be destroyed, Keith E. Hakim, defended him, saying, anyone has the right to hear and voice alternative views on the subject. He is indeed a traitor to the United States of America. Talk about deja vu Ellison and Fonda on the same day.

  14. Politicianophobia says

    Feb 15, 2018 at 1:46 pm

    In 2003 the Senate Sub-Committee hearing on radical Islam, Senator Charles Shumer, of N.Y., stated “To make matters worse, the prominent members of the Council (CAIR) current leadership who you Mr. Chairman, invited to the hearings today decline to testify, also have intimate connections with Hamas”. CAIR was incorporated in 1994, by Nihad Awad, Omar Ahmad and Rafeeq Jaber all were leaders of the now defunct Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP). Keith Ellison is a close friend of Nihad Awad. Amazing who comes into the picture when you look hard enough.

    Allison, you need no endorsement from any one. You are a Muslim fanatic and terrorist. Your statements all the years you are in power are more than enough to prove your hate for the USA. I slam is criminal. That you and Obama zeft got to these high level positions is beyond my understanding.
    I am Coptic. I wonder if you have any idea what this means. We are the Christians of Egypt For the last 1400+ years we the Copts have endured the Islamic horrible treatment. So, I know very well what kind of a man you are without meeting you.
