Muslim Congressman: Muslims can help teach America about justice and equal protection.

Here's a link to what the first Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison, told a Muslim crowd in Dearborn Michigan. Too bad the Detroit Free Press won't print a full transcript of the remarks made by Ellison and others at this event. The truth must of course be witheld from the American people.

I have just one question: How are Muslims going to teach Americans about justice and equal protection when their fellow Islamists around the world are burning churches, beheading Christians, slaugherting Buddhists and threatening the Jews with extermination? And what about the many Muslim countries that forbid the open worship of any faith other than Islam?

Ever tried to take a Bible into Saudi Arabia? Oh, but we must handle the Koran with gloves on mustn't we?

UPDATE: Always on Watch does a superb job covering American Muslim issues. See her latest post on Ellison and the ideological foundations of the groups he addressed at the meeting reported above. She links to an article in the Daily Standard describing the Muslim American Society (MAS) and it's role as a front group for the radical Muslim Brotherhood.

The Minnesota chapter of MAS (notice how Minnesota keeps popping up: first Taxi Drivers imposing Sharia Law on passengers, then the Flying Imams and now Ellison elected to Congress) defines active membership in the organization as those who will:
(1) Continue building the correct unified comprehension of Islam as outlined in the Message of the Teachings by Imam Al-Banna. . . .
(9) Make the member fulfill his duties as outlined in the Message of the Teachings by Imam Al-Banna.

Al-Banna, an Egyptian, is the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood whose motto is:
"Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

You'll notice that none of these Muslim groups repudiate such statements. If you ask them about it, they will attempt to change the subject, probably start spouting off about Israel or the evils of the U.S. at Guantanamo.
