Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison Obviously Behind Shooting In Texas Because Muslim

Dead Breitbart's Foundation For Frothing Paranoia brought us a whole new frontier in guilt by association Tuesday, revealing the shocking connections between the idiot jihadist-wannabes who tried to shoot up a stupid anti-Islam hatefest in Texas and a Somali radical Islamist who used to live in Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison's congressional district. Hey, Keith Ellison, why aren't you reining in people who once lived in your district, you terrorist sympathizer, you?

The shocking revelations are brought to us by longtime Breitbart hack Sad Lee Stranahan, to whom we will always be indebted for naming Yr Wonkette an "ugly, vile little snark mob." Stranahan wants the world to know that Keith Ellison is a Muslim, and that he represents (as a Muslim) the Minnesota congressional district that once was home to a Muslim guy who egged on the two Muslim gunmen, which almost certainly provessomething:  

It’s just the latest example of how and why Minneapolis -- and specifically the congressional district of Muslim Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) -- has become ground zero for the threat to the United States from Islamist terror groups such as ISIS and Al-Shabaab.

You see, a Minnesota TV station reported that the two shooters had been in communication -- sort of -- with Muhammed Abdullahi Hassan, a Minnesotan who left the state in 2008 to join al-Shabab in Somalia and goes by the online name "Mujahid Miski." And talk about a close connection! On April 23, Mujahid Miski posted a Twitter message praising the January attacks on Charlie Hebdo in Paris and calling on "brothers in the #US to do their part." Elton Simpson, one of the Texas shooters, replied enthusiastically to the tweet, writing "When will they ever learn?" and decrying the Mohammed cartoon contest that he later attacked. The TV station also noted that Miski praised the abortive attack in Texas, and that he "tweeted that he would miss Simpson’s daily greetings."

Obviously, Stranahan explains, this is the smoking gun tying Keith Ellison -- or at least a former resident of the district Ellison has represented since 2007 -- to radical Islamic terror!

The terrorist threat emanates from the Minneapolis neighborhood known as “Little Mogadishu,” home to one of the highest concentration of Somali immigrants in the USA.

The Little Mogadishu neighborhood is represented by Democrat congressman Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), who liberals proudly tout as the first Muslim-American Congressman. Ellison -- who famously swore his oath of office on a Koran -- has been a key player in public attacks on those seeking to expose the threat of radical Islam, including former Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Texas Congressman Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX).

What more proof do you need? It's almost like Ellison pulled the trigger himself! Stranahan also notes that the problem of jihadist recruitment from Ellison's district is that "so bad that even liberal think-tank Think Progress has been forced to acknowledge it. They highlighted a recent story about Ellison’s constituents trying to join ISIS."

Of course, the ThinkProgress piece actually focused on efforts to discourage young Muslims in Minnesota from joining radical groups, but yeah, they definitely acknowledged that six Somali-Americans lived in Minneapolis before being arrested for trying to join ISIS. The piece doesn't actually name Ellison at all, and it notes that for the most part, the Somali-American community in Minneapolis is "appalled" by al-Shabab and has publicly denounced the group. ThinkProgress also quotes an FBI agent who said that area mosques "tended to be very good at spotting those with extreme views and expelling them.” But there's no denying the ugly truth: Keith Ellison is a Muslim, he's in Congress, and some people living in his district have definitely done or tried to do Very Bad Things. Look, even the ugly vile little snark mob at Wonkette admits it!

So there's the shocking truth about Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Muslim): He is a Muslim who represents a district with Muslims in it, and one of those Muslims traveled to Somalia, where he now preaches Jihad on the Twitter machine. Never mind that the jihadi guy left Minnesota the year after Ellison took office; the real question is why Keith Ellison didn't stop his constituent from becoming a terrorist. You really have to ask where his loyalties lie.

This is a pretty exciting new reporting technique, and we look forward to pointing out whenever we can that Ronald Reagan used to be governor of Charles Manson's home state.
