Any chance that Keith Ellison can be voted out of office by 2010?
The Common Dreams website (via Jihad Watch) reports that Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison is unhappy about Geert Wilders's visit to Capitol Hill to screen Fitna. "Concern, disappointment," that's what he whines he's filled with.
Minnesota, if that's where's he's a representative, should vote against Ellison in the next House elections. Until then, I recommend that conservative politicians in Minnesota follow Senator John Kyl's example by inviting Wilders to screen Fitna locally at Minnesota's own legislation house. Kyl is to be applauded for his courage and integrity, and other Republicans should invite Wilders to screen at their own locations as well.
WASHINGTON - February 26 - Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) took issue with the screening of a film by the controversial Dutch Parliamentarian, Geert Wilders, in the United States Capitol. The film being screened, "Fitna", is said to compare Islamic terrorism to Nazism. The screening is sponsored by Senator John Kyl (R-AZ).He may be an advocate of the First, but here's an even more challenging question: is he a strong advocate of the Religion Clause? Guess not.
"I am a strong an advocate of First Amendment free speech. However, this is not about free speech, but rather an issue of propriety, timing and venue," Ellison said. "Senator Kyl has every right to host anyone he chooses, however it becomes a question of propriety to use the United States Capitol as a venue for the condemnation of an entire religion," Ellison said.
Minnesota, if that's where's he's a representative, should vote against Ellison in the next House elections. Until then, I recommend that conservative politicians in Minnesota follow Senator John Kyl's example by inviting Wilders to screen Fitna locally at Minnesota's own legislation house. Kyl is to be applauded for his courage and integrity, and other Republicans should invite Wilders to screen at their own locations as well.
