A Muslim is in the Congress of the USA

Jesus our Lord please Bless Keith Ellison, and the rest of America please pray for him too. This is a photo of Keith Ellison, and some commentary by him below. I am shocked myself that a Muslim could win a seat in the U.S. Congress when we are at war with Terrorist that are mostly Muslim and follow the teachings of Islam. It really scares me to see and hear that Muslim won a seat in our National Government at a time when we are at war. Did you even know that Keith Ellison was Muslim? Does it Concern you?

Commentary from Keith:
One Blunder after Another in the War on Terror
Many Americans, and most of our allies, have suspected it for years: The neo-cons' botched war in Iraq is making us less safe. With the release of the National Intelligence Estimate, it's official. The report, a consensus statement by all 16 military intelligence agencies, both civilian and military, concludes "that the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse." Couple that statement with the torture bill that Congress just passed, and it's clear that this week has been a low point for American security. Let's not forget that the original rationalization for the war – the claim that Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction – was discredited long ago. The administration has tried to sustain support for the war by telling Americans that it's necessary to protect us from terrorism. Now that we know that's false, the only question left is what will be the next pretext to justify an unwise and immoral military action overseas? The torture bill will surely exacerbate the problem. It erases the right of habeas corpus, a keystone of our Constitution and centuries of common law. It would give George W. Bush the power to personally decide what is or is not torture, and what methods of torture can be used. The bill is an affront to the Geneva Conventions. Worse yet, it exposes our soldiers, young men and women who come from all of our neighborhoods and all of our hometowns, to being tortured themselves if captured. This is craven partisan politics. It is a betrayal of deeply held American principles in the service of the Republican midterm election agenda. Illegal detentions, extraordinary rendition, and kangaroo courts are patently un-American. They are clearly contrary to our national interests. Torture is not a Minnesotan value, nor is it an American value. We need new leaders in Washington, DC, who have the courage to defend the ideals on which this great nation was founded. We need leaders who understand that respect for human rights and civil liberties are fundamental to our identity.
I have devoted my career to upholding the dignity of the law and ensuring that it is applied equally to everyone in our society. It is the principle that we are all equal under the law that has made our country a beacon of hope around the world. Now is the time for a return to diplomacy, rule of law, decency, and common sense. I'm ready to bring to Congress these qualities, and a vision of America as a true moral authority and example for the world.
