Ellison, a Muslim, Is Sworn In Using Thomas Jefferson's Koran

Submitted by Ed, Jan 5, 2007 18:55

I'm not concerned about Representative Ellison taking the oath on the Koran. What worries me is his association with the Nation of Islam hate group (and his apparent lies about the relationship), his association with the nefarious Council on American Islamic Relations, and his involvement in the machinations of the "Minneapolis Imams." The behavior of the imams at the airport looked like an attempt to desensitize security personnel, intimidate the airlines, and apply legal and political pressure to degrade security rules. If that's what it was, it was a crime, and Ellison was part of it.
