I Support Keith Ellison’s Bid to Become DNC Chair, and So Should You

It’s been hard to not enjoy the meltdown from the Radical Leftists that have taken over the Democratic Party since the presidential election. One of the slightly lesser seen stories has been the efforts of Keith Ellison (D – Find Another State) to become the chair of the DNC. If you’re not familiar, he is not without controversy.

Of the five points raised in the article, the only one I don’t have an issue with is his choosing to be sworn in on the Koran over a Bible, at least on the surface. If Rep.Ellison led by the principles in the Koran as unfaithfully as too many of our other leaders led by Biblical principles I wouldn’t care. But if you go back to the previous link – that doesn’t look like the case.

I’d like the folks at BuzzFeed to turn their attention to Imam Makram El-Amin, leader of Masjid Al-Nur mosque in Minneapolis.

Choudhury’s thoughts about creating safe spaces for LGBTQ members aren’t welcomed by all Muslims, especially religious leaders. Munhazim says mosques in Minnesota don’t accept openly gay people and he’s been kicked out of mosques in the past. Imams say they take issue with those promoting homosexuality.

“It’s not within our paradigm, really, to change the word of God,” said Imam Makram El-Amin, leader of Masjid Al-Nur in Minneapolis. “Our religion is clear about this matter. It’s not a lifestyle that we accept as being part of the natural way of things for human beings. When it comes to that, that’s my position, and that’s Islam’s position. And this incident as tragic and terrible as it is that does not change that,” he said.

El-Amin was one of several local religious leaders who came out after the shooting to say they stand in solidarity with LGBTQ members. But that doesn’t mean it’s an endorsement. “We know that there are certain things that come up to the level of human rights that supersede even the differences that we have,” he said. Lest you think that was a one-time comment from the imam…

The Qur’an is “pretty explicit in the fact that it is saying that this is not a lifestyle, or life choice, that is recognized as legitimate for Muslims,” said Imam Makram El-Amin of Minneapolis’s Masjid An-Nur. “It is not recognized as being what God intended for humans in terms of their relationships with one another.”

You know who worships at the Masjid Al-Nur in Minneapolis, right? Congressman Keith Ellison, now considered a leading candidate to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee. And from news accounts, the two men are pretty close: “Imam El-Amin has counseled Ellison on religious issues and accompanied him on international trade trips.”

For what it’s worth, Congressman Ellison supports gay marriage and gays serving in the military. No word on whether he’s ever thought of homosexuality as “what God intended for humans in terms of their relationships.”

Now, from where I sit, everybody’s free to think whatever the heck they want about homosexuality, and everybody deserves equal protection under the law. There’s no point or good purpose served by haranguing Chip and Joanna Gaines about their pastor’s views, or any average Catholic about the Pope’s views, or Ellison about his imam’s views.

There’s a strong argument to be made that trying to stir up furious public outcry over someone’s views about God and His teachings comes uncomfortably close to religious bigotry and discrimination. But if we’re going to pick out some little-known Texas pastor and turn him into public enemy No. 1 over his traditional religious views on homosexuality, it doesn’t seem unfair to apply the same standard to other figures advising elected officials who make the country’s laws.

In other words, BuzzFeed chose to take this tool out of the shed; they can’t complain when someone else starts using it. Was it just eight years ago we were assured that the controversial and incendiary ranting and raving of Jeremiah Wright had absolutely no influence on the thinking of then-senator Barack Obama?

More from Geraghty on Ellison:

You know Keith Ellison, Minnesota congressman and aspiring DNC Chair, has had a bad week when yesterday’s news about his imam’s views on homosexuality is the third or fourth worst bit of news for him in the past day. Admittedly, they’re tough to rank. Probably atop the list is the Anti-Defamation League statement declaring Ellison unacceptable as the head of the Democratic party:

When Rep. Ellison’s candidacy to be chair of the Democratic National Committee was first reported, ADL did not rush to judgment. Instead, we took a hard look at the totality of his record on key issues on our agenda. We spoke to numerous leaders in the community and to Mr. Ellison himself. ADL’s subsequent statement on his candidacy appreciated his contrition on some matters, acknowledged areas of commonality but clearly expressed real concern where Rep. Ellison held divergent policy views, particularly related to Israel’s security. New information recently has come to light that raises serious concerns about whether Rep. Ellison faithfully could represent the Democratic Party’s traditional support for a strong and secure Israel.

In a speech recorded in 2010 to a group of supporters, Rep. Ellison is heard suggesting that American foreign policy in the Middle East is driven by Israel, saying: “The United States foreign policy in the Middle East is governed by what is good or bad through a country of 7 million people. A region of 350 million all turns on a country of 7 million. Does that make sense? Is that logic? Right? When the Americans who trace their roots back to those 350 million get involved, everything changes.”

Rep. Ellison’s remarks are both deeply disturbing and disqualifying. His words imply that U.S. foreign policy is based on religiously or national origin-based special interests rather than simply on America’s best interests. Additionally, whether intentional or not, his words raise the specter of age-old stereotypes about Jewish control of our government, a poisonous myth that may persist in parts of the world where intolerance thrives, but that has no place in open societies like the U.S. Ellison says his remarks were “selectively edited and taken out of context.” Then there’s the Free Beacon, finding unsavory details of Ellison’s 2008 trip to Saudi Arabia:

Ellison, now a leading candidate to head the Democratic National Committee, was brought to Saudi Arabia for a two-week trip by the Muslim American Society (MAS), a group founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood to act as its “overt arm” in the United States. Details of Ellison’s religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia are scarce, but photographs discovered by the Washington Free Beacon show that Ellison met with controversial figures during the trip. A photo album of Ellison’s hajj trip posted by MAS’s Minnesota chapter includes a picture of the congressman meeting with Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, who was vice president of a Muslim Brotherhood-created group that in 2004 issued a fatwa urging “jihad” against U.S. troops in Iraq and supported the Palestinians’ Second Intifada against Israel.

Then there’s Tim Ryan, unsuccessful challenger to Nancy Pelosi, declaring that the next Democratic National Committee chair has to treat the job as a full-time job, a fairly commonsense perspective that would either eliminate Ellison as an option or require him to resign from the House. Ellison is also sure to face questions about his younger years as a member of the Nation of Islam and defender of Louis Farrakhan for a decade. Ellison renounced his membership in 2006. Ellison’s imam, Makram El-Amin, is also a former member of the Nation of Islam. El-Amin’s father was a minister in the Nation of Islam and a bodyguard for Elijah Mohammad, the founder.

I’ll admit that the charges of Ellison’s Imam being insufficiently LGBQWERTY – friendly are petty, but we’ve seen Christians persecuted for less. And since the Radical Left is now pretending that this matters, why not hold them to the same standard? My bigger concern is Ellison’s ties to some radical Islamist groups and their beliefs. And this is why I say he is the perfect man to lead the Democratic Party.

At a time that the Democratic Party has been overtaken by the worst of its extremist elements, what better way to show America the the Democrats are the party of the people than by having their Chair as an extremist 9/11 Truther? And this is what makes Ellison the perfect face of the Democratic Party – a radical leader for a an out of touch party of elitists. From what I’ve seen the Democrats seem to think that the reason they lost the presidential election is that they… weren’t angry, condescending, and contemptuous enough. What better way to advertise to America what the Democratic Party stands for than Keith Ellison?

Why dont Lexx Luthor run on the demacratic ticket after all their all crinimal master minds with thoughts of world control on their twisted little minds

@Brother Bob

By placing Keith “X” in the position of DNC chair only furthers their radical shift from the traditional democrat party to a radical leftist agenda driven party. Their message is not main stream America and they are quickly ceasing to be a national party. At best they are regional and will continue to lose their base by keeping radicals like schemer, pelosi and Ellison

Exactly The Reason I Quit Voting for Democrats ..
Keith Ellison is a BLACK SUPREMACIST who wanted to Have a Separated Nation..
I voted for President Trump to End the Racial Divide Caused by the Muslim Islamic DAESH Terrorist Trojan Horse Traitor Barry Soetoro aka Obama..
The Black American Population is only 13%.. Most are Christians who Voted for President Trump..
The DNC IS A CORRUPT COMMUNIST ANTI-AMERICAN
ANTI-GOD MONRY AND POWER HUNGRY ORGANIZATION..
Millions of Democratic Voters VOTED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP!!

The demac-RAT party nothing but a whole bunch of socialists and scumbags their no longer the party of JFK in fact they realy never was the party of JFK becuase he supported lower taxes

At “only” 53 Keith Ellison brings down the average age of Dem leaders (76) by a lot, too!
As to this:

For what it’s worth, Congressman Ellison supports gay marriage and gays serving in the military. No word on whether he’s ever thought of homosexuality as “what God intended for humans in terms of their relationships.”

When a Catholic politician disagrees by a 180′ with their church’s views their church can ignore it or even Excommunicate him.
When a Muslim takes an opposite view of Islam his action is called “apostacy,” and a fatwa might be issued against him. Then any other Muslim can get a free pass to “Paradise” for killing him.
Keith Ellison’s official stand on gays has led to no such fatwa. One can only wonder if Islam’s “war is deceit” is why.
Keith can undermine America better from halls of power, so, he is ”allowed” by Islam to lie to the public.
(We’ve seen it before with Huma.)
Because taqiya (lying) and kitman (only telling a part of the truth) are acceptable for Muslim communication with unbelievers how do we know what Keith Ellison REALLY believes?
Then you add this:

My bigger concern is Ellison’s ties to some radical Islamist groups and their beliefs. And this is why I say he is the perfect man to lead the Democratic Party.
At a time that the Democratic Party has been overtaken by the worst of its extremist elements, what better way to show America the the Democrats are the party of the people than by having their Chair as an extremist 9/11 Truther? And this is what makes Ellison the perfect face of the Democratic Party – a radical leader for a an out of touch party of elitists.

Ellison’s views on Israel dovetail perfectly with Obama’s ACTIONS.
As well as with the majority of current Dem voters.
Considering that, he is the perfect choice to lead the DNC.
With him we will continue to see headlines of Dems own factions and victim’s groups turning on and destroying one another.
He will pit gays against Muslims, Jews against Muslims, women against Muslims, blacks against Hispanics, etc.
In other words, he’s a divider, not a uniter.

I certainly support Ellison for DNC chair. He exemplifies what the Dimocrats support. . He’s clearly very racist, very Anti American, very pro Muslim . well, as I said, everything good about the Dimocrat party.

Everything that’s been said about Republicans in this election title is actually true about the Dems–losers without a political core other than the desire to win and hold power, directionless, rudderless.

Please make this man your leader and go full-tilt loon. We need to see more DNC conventions that showcase silent women standing by their Muslim husbands AND pro-abortion loons.
