Tea Party Leader: Rep. Keith Ellison Should Be Dumped Because He Is Muslim

"Tea Party Nation" is a small potato among hundreds of Tea Party organizations...Tea Party Express is the mainstream Tea Party movement...What Tea Party movement don't need nor wanted is bigotry among its large tent constituents...I supports Tea Party for smaller Government and responsible Federal Gov. spendings. I am sure most Tea Party supporters are the same...This has nothing to do with race, religion and gender...Bigots have no place in Tea Party movement, they made that clearn at Glenn Beck's rally in D.C.

The Tea Party is more of an idea than a party - it is not an organized party such as the republican or democratic party. Therefore, you are going to have various individuals that speak out on issues and the media will JUMP at the chance to publish anything that will raise concerns. The general basis of the tea party is less government vs. big government and less taxes vs. more taxes. From there, individuals add to it their various opinions and ideas, etc. He made it clear that being a Muslim was not the only reason not to vote for this candidate.

If the Tea Party was truly a Party that stuck to secular, fiscal matters. I think I could be okay with that, a healthy and loyal opposition is a good thing. What is not a good thing is when their leaders, instead of sticking to the issues issues they start attacking people of different faith, and thus they assault one of the things that make this country great. Religious Freedom and Tolerance. The fact that we have Muslims in congress at all should be a testament to how much Al-queda has failed in their attempt to provoke a clash of civilizations and how amazing this nation is. This is just one more thing to add to the list of reason I will make it a point to vote against the Tea Party in this election and any election they participate in.

Diversity can culturally enrich a country......but it does not make a country stronger. What has historically made a country strong is a people sharing the same common language, the same common values and basically the same agenda and goals. A country is weakened when those issues become fragmented....such as is happening in the US, as well as parts of Europe.

Elected officials are supposed to vote as the people who elect him/her want. Congress is not supposed to favor one relgion over another. Freedom of Religion is a whole lot safer than Freedom to shoot anything that moves.

remember when bush, a so called christian, got a message from god to go to war? lol

Everybody should care about some religions. Not to care about religions is naive at best and deadly ignorant at worst. We are brought up in America with freedom of religion, but the founding fathers never encountered religions that sanction murder. And Islam is one of those. Not the only one, but it is one never the less. That is reality. The so called moderate Muslims are not following what the Koran says. That is why it is easy to radicalize Muslims. All you have to do is get them to read and study the book of their faith. Sooner or later they will come face to face with what the book actually says. Then they will have to reject their faith or react to what it tells them to do.

Shall we get to the bottom of this Muslim fear? The truth is: most people can't handle the truth...Most Mulims billion strong are peaceful. Our friends in the Muslim world includes Theocracy Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Secular Egypt and Indonesia. There is no sign thats changing...The real threat to Muslim World's stability is extremists like Al Queda and Talibans...They represents extremely small fraction of Muslim World. No one is more alarmed by these radical Muslims than Muslim nations because they threating the survival of Saudi Kingdom, Mubarick Government of Egypt and other Western friendly Muslim nations...Representive Keith Ellison has all the rights of religious freedom under our constitution without persecution...It a real injustic to cast fear and hate because of his faith...In fact they should kick this Phillips dude out of Tea Party, this is not what Tea Party movement is about...

One really big problem about Islam and that is the terrorists that evolve out of the so called peaceful ranks of the followers and especially their cowardly penchant for targeting so called soft targets.........namely you and me. This will never, I repeat this will never cease to exists as young men will always be born with faith and idealism. Unfortunately this seemingly virtuous attribute is horribly distorted and tragically misdirected by the call for killing infidels which again, I repeat, is you and me. I might add Islam is always peaceful when it suits them but their greatest sin is their lack of demonstrations and protest against these terrorists when they strike. I well remember seeing Palestinians celebrating on TV when 9/11 occurred and I can only wonder if the same thing happened in other parts of Islam also. Make no mistake folks, this is one major problem and how the world solves it remains to be seen and it is not going away. To ignore it as being politically correct is at our own peril..............

i agree with keith ellison.... a religo who tells them to kill all infidals sucks...i don't want any that may kill me for my beliefs in any office. i am no a barack hussein obama...i feel this towards him. he is a muslim first and he is a threat to me and my family and friends. a religon that belives anyone who don't believe should be killed..no thats a lot of radical people.
