In the past Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison has had no problem giving speeches for Islamist groups like the pro-sharia CAIR and the Muslim American Society. Now he has taken it one step further and given a speech at Qatar University's College of Sharia. The speech was given this past President's Day weekend.

Rep. Ellison touts expanded dialogue with Islam during speech in Qatar
By Joe Kimball Feb 17 2009
Rep. Keith Ellison -- who by now must be tired of being constantly identified as the first Muslim elected to Congress -- was in the Middle East over the Presidents Day weekend.
He spoke at Qatar University's College of Sharia and Islamic Studies, says the Gulf Times.
“Following 9/11, there has been an emergence of Muslim civil rights organizations," Ellison said. “The political picture is bright, not perfect, but we are ready to expand the dialogue and work to resolving the miscomprehensions that exist in our society and between the U.S. and the Islamic world.”
And he praised President Obama's early overtures to Muslims.
“This is the first time a U.S. president has reached out in this way”, he said, noting the decision to close Guantanamo Bay, end the war in Iraq, and stop the use of torture. “President Obama’s granting his first international interview to Al-Arabiya was a significant move which showed his commitment to his pledge. He was talking straight to Muslims all over the world.”
The college dean told the paper: “Ellison wanted to meet with us so that we can share our views and discuss issues that connect us to each other. We are especially interested in expanding the dialogue on issues relating to the U.S. and the Islamic world.”

if sharia was really a threat or whatever THEN WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU PUT IT IN THE NAME OF YOUR COLLEGE. the world isnt like a cartoon, like you think it is
Here we have an an Islamist trying to sell us that the barbaric Sharia law is not a threat. He is just too smart for us....
The college is in the Middle East, that is why. Try reading next time.
No the world is not a cartoon. But if you would like we can draw some of up of Momo the terrorist. This way we can upset the weak minded Islamists again. PATHETIC.
This guy is living proof that we'll never run out of assholes. He must be there studying how to go from moron to idiot. I am so tired of islam. We really need to stamp it out completely, or teach these idiots a lesson they will never forget.
Sharia law licenses the torture and murder of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs.
When Mullahs proclaim that the slaughter of "innocents" is prohibited in Islam, they are saying this with the caveat that nobody is "innocent", unless they have accepted Islam. Therefor, anybody who is not Muslim can be legally enslaved, tortured, raped, and murdered, according to Islamic Sharia, the Sunna, and the Hadith.
Islam is the most evil political movement that has ever existed. This war will never end, until Islam is prohibited from existing in the United States.
Alan,
Welcome to the site. I agree drastic actions are needed in this war. If we continue with the status quo, we are going to eventually lose.
The people of Minnesota REALLY need to open their eyes and look into this man's dealings and what he is all about and then VOTE HIM OUT!
This man condones hatred, suppresion of not just women but anyone who is not a beleiver (read NON-MUSLIMS). That's what Sharia law is. Ther's lots of reading out there and it's scary.
Watch out America we're next.
