<b>Excerpt:</b> His personal involvement in radical Islamic activities and philosophies should frighten every American into watching very closely this newly elected member of Congress.
In a recent recorded video mesaage by Al Qaedea's #2 man, Ayman Al Zahawiri, he stated, quote: " that the winners of last November's elections had not been the Democrats, or the Republicans, but rather the Muhajadin (Jihadist fighters) in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Of course, that the Democratic victory favors the terrorists is unfortunately just a simple fact of life; it doesn't take a seer to figure that one out! But let me interject some farcical humor in what otherwise is a hopelessly pathetic situation:
In an edited part of the video not shown, which appeared on Al Jazeera and CNN (the Arabic speaking and English speaking sister networks which are "unofficial" mouthpieces of Al Qaeda), a teary-eyed, emotional Al Zahawiri went on, in the style of the Oscars and Grammies of his Hollywood Peers, to thank Allah for this November victory, to thank Osama and all his closests terrorist associates who worked so tirelessly to make it all happen, the Muhajadin who selflessly use their bodies as suicidal weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and Afghanistan to achieve it, and most of all Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the Democrats, without whom their Jihadist victory in November would not have been possible! LOL!
But all joking aside, with the elction of this Muslim Congressman, who is but a puppet of CAIR and their Islamic agenda in Congress, the Democrats have helped pave the way for the Islamization of America, and the future establishing of "Sharia" as the law of the land...all we need is a few more "November elections" with a few more "Islamic candidates" and their "politically correct" secular progressive Democratic supporters!
Ironic isn't it! That near-sighted, secular progressive, dunces, with their humanist godlessness, be used as a vehicle by the Islamists to advance the imposure upon the world of their Islamic Theocracy! It is almost "Poetic Justice"!!!
WASHINGTON (Jan. 3) - The first Muslim elected to Congress says he will take his oath of office using a Koran once owned by Thomas Jefferson to make the point that "religious differences are nothing to be afraid of."
Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, D-Minn., decided to use the centuries-old Koran during his ceremonial swearing-in on Thursday after he learned that it is kept at the Library of Congress. Jefferson, the nation's third president and a collector of books in all topics and languages, sold the book to Congress in 1815 as part of a collection.
"It demonstrates that from the very beginning of our country, we had people who were visionary, who were religiously tolerant, who believed that knowledge and wisdom could be gleaned from any number of sources, including the Koran," Ellison said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
"A visionary like Thomas Jefferson was not afraid of a different belief system," Ellison said. "This just shows that religious tolerance is the bedrock of our country, and religious differences are nothing to be afraid of."
Some critics have argued that only a Bible should be used for the swearing-in. Last month, Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., warned that unless immigration is tightened, "many more Muslims" will be elected and follow Ellison's lead. Ellison was born in Detroit and converted to Islam in college.
Ellison said an anonymous person wrote to tell him about the Koran, and he arranged with the Library of Congress to use it. The chief of the Library of Congress' rare book and special collections division, Mark Dimunation, will walk the Quran across the street to the Capitol and bring it back after the ceremony.
Ellison's decision to use Jefferson's Koran was first reported by The Washington Post on Wednesday.
Jefferson was born in Albemarle County, in what is now Goode's congressional district in central Virginia. Goode's office did not return phone and e-mail messages left Wednesday.
An English translation of the Arabic, Jefferson's Koran was published in 1764 in London, a later printing of one originally published in 1734.
"This is considered the text that shaped Europe's understanding of the Koran," Dimunation said.
It was acquired in 1815 as part of a more than 6,400-volume collection that Jefferson sold for $24,000 to replace the congressional library that had been burned by British troops the year before, in the War of 1812.
"It was a real bargain," Dimunation said.
The Koran survived an 1851 fire in the Capitol. Dimunation described it as a two-volume work, bound in leather with marble boards.
"As a rare book librarian," he said, "there is something special about the idea that Thomas Jefferson's books are being walked across the street to the Capitol building, to bring in yet another session of governmental structure that he helped create."
