Bush like Hitler, says first Muslim in Congress Rep. Keith Ellison has been named to the House Judiciary Committee, a panel that has oversight over issues such as civil liberties, immigration and courts a long time ago. Ellison, D-Minn., forgot the selection, by the way an honor and privilege to house Judiciary committee. "I look forward to pursuing a progressive agenda in the committee, including the restoration of American citizen's civil liberties that have come under
increasing attack over the past six years," said Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress. Ellison, a freshman lawmaker, said this week he'd like to see a ban on racial profiling, an issue that could come up in the Judiciary Committee.

Keith Ellison, a convert to Islam, has cultivated a moderate image since being elected last November America's first Muslim has provoked outrage by apparently comparing President George W Bush to Adolf Hitler and hinting that he might have been responsible for the September 11 attacks.Addressing a gathering of atheists, ironically, atheists would be the first to be beheaded by his com padres, if they get there way. In his home state of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, a Democrat, compared the 9/11 atrocities to the destruction of the Reich stag, the German parliament, in 1933. This was probably burned down by the Nazis in order to justify Hitler's later seizure of emergency powers. "It's almost like the Reich stag fire, kind of reminds me of that," Mr Ellison said. "After the Reich stag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted."
Worse is the applause from his audience of 300 members of Atheists for Human Rights, Mr Ellison said he would not accuse the Bush administration of planning 9/11 because "you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box - dismiss you". Huh? whats he talking bout? Is this what is called "jive".Vice-President Dick Cheney's stance of refusing to answer some questions from Congress, his right by the way is not to answer. Ellison was way out of line in saying "the very definition of totalitarianism, authoritarianism and dictatorship".Mr Ellison also raised eyebrows by telling his audience: "You'll always find this Muslim standing up for your right to be atheists all you want." The statement is amazing to plaster a lie like that, from a muslim its OK because they are all infidels.
Mr Ellison was previously linked to the extremist Nation of Islam. Mr Ellison, 42, has cultivated a moderate image since being elected last November, concentrating on issues such as health and education.
He is an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq. But he angered his own anti-war supporters by voting for a budget bill that aims to end the war over the next 18 months. His followers want an immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, how convenient. After his speech was reported, Mr Ellison said he accepted that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9/11, nice camouflage however his demagogic comments threaten to plunge him in controversy. Mark Drake, of the Republican party in Minnesota, said: "To compare the democratically elected leader
of the United States of America to Hitler is an absolute moral outrage which trivialises the horrors of Nazi Germany."

If I was Bush, I would have the department of justice investigate Kieth Ellison and have him removed from the congress.
