I attended the America' Truth Forums and Basics Project Symposium Exposing the Threat of Islamist Terrorism in Dallas, Texas this month and had the pleasure of meeting Joe Kaufman for the first time.
I recently went to his website Americans Against Hate and discovered that US Representative Keith Ellison serves on the Congressional Anti-Semitism Task Force. What? Oxymoron comes to mind. Reminds of the time I asked my son if illegal aliens should have driver’s licenses, and the puzzled look on his face at trying to figure out the purpose of such a preposterous question.
That same word “preposterous” came to my mind.
Look at the very definition: Antisemitism is prejudice and hostility toward Jews as a religious, racial, or ethnic group. While the term's etymology indicates that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, since its creation it has been used exclusively to refer to hostility towards Jews.
Now, back to this task force. ”The Congressional Anti-Semitism Task Force will provide insights into the depth and effects of anti-Semitism worldwide.” “The Task Force’s primary role is to bring to light specific cases of anti-Semitism and educate Members of Congress, world leaders and citizens about the horrors that these cases pose on society.”
Joe Kaufman and Americans Against Hate have foundational reasons to ask U.S. Rep. Ron Klein to remove U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison from the anti-semitism task force, due to Keith Ellisons dealings with radical Islamic groups. Their group presented U.S. Rep. Ron Klein with documents proving this, and I have seen one myself. The MAS website clearly states their anti-semitic
nature. I personally looked at the MAS site directly for
verification
Also, Keith Ellison
performed the eulogy of Hesham Hussein , and called him a good friend. Hesham Hussein was President of MAS Minnesota and was anti-semitic, proven by the content on their website, verified just today.
Press Release
(Coral Springs, FL) Yesterday, a delegation from Americans Against Hate (AAH) met with U.S. Representative Ron Klein (D-Florida) for a little over a half hour to discuss U.S. Representative Keith Ellison’s (D-Minnesota) participation in the recently created Congressional Task Force on Anti-Semitism (CTFAS) and to ask for Ellison’s removal as a member of the task force. Congressman Klein Co-Chairs CTFAS with Congressman Mike Pence (R-Indiana).
AAH displayed for Congressman Klein a number of documents showing direct contact between Congressman Ellison and radical Muslim organizations, which included the Muslim American Society (MAS) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Both MAS and CAIR have been named by the U.S. government as being part of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), a radical Islamic organization based in Egypt. CAIR, as well, has been tied to Hamas.
One of the exhibits was a part of the program from an event sponsored by the North American Imams Federation (NAIF) in November of 2006. It contained a photo of Ellison next to the photos of Al-Qaeda web designer Mazen Mokhtar and “unindicted co-conspirator” of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Siraj Wahhaj.
Another exhibit showed violently anti-Jewish, anti-Christian and pro-Hamas statements from the website of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society (MAS-Minnesota). These statements were up on the site when Congressman Ellison spoke in front of the group in May of 2007, and they were up on the site this month when he spoke at a memorial for MAS-Minnesota’s President who was killed in an auto accident in Saudi Arabia on January 26th.
AAH Chairman Joe Kaufman, who led the delegation, stated, “We are grateful that Congressman Klein gave us a forum to speak with him about this very serious matter and that he is going to follow it up with further investigation. We are now hoping that he takes the necessary action to remove Congressman Ellison from the anti-Semitism task force. No one should ever have the opportunity to become a member of an organization whose mission is to fight anti-Semitism, if that individual is involved with hate groups, especially ones that promote anti-Semitism.”
