From the Strib, just now:
Freshman Congressman Keith Ellison was among friends Sunday — in this case, a gathering of atheists — so his support for a fistful of hot-button opinions, including the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney, brought enthusiastic nods of approval and standing ovations.
“You’ll always find this Muslim standing up for your right to be atheists,” he told the group.
Yeah, well, If past is prologue, he’ll be your friend for as long as he needs something from you.
As for how that works out with Islam in general… a photo is worth 1000 words.
In this case, likely a few more than that.
Forgive me if I am less than impressed with the track record.
But let’s examine his real purpose, shall we? Why would Islam, want to encourage atheism in the west?
“America, is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”
—Joseph Stalin
That’s about as accurate a description of the game plan as I’ve been able to find.
Oh… should I mention that both Stalin [1] and Ellison [2] consider themselves Democrats?
