| INDIANAPOLIS -- A convert to Islam stands an election victory away from becoming the second Muslim elected to Congress and a role model for a faith community seeking to make its mark in national politics. Political newcomer Andre Carson is the Democratic nominee in a March 11 special election to succeed his late grandmother, Julia, who represented Indiana's 7th District. Even Democrats in this area were glad to see his grandmother go If Andre Carson wins the Democratic-leaning Indianapolis district over a freshman Republican legislator and a long shot Libertarian candidate, he would join Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., as the only Muslims elected to Congress. "For me, the religion peace, it informs me. You need to respect people" (Lying sack of shit -ed.) Carson's grandmother raised him in a Baptist church and enrolled him at an inner-city Catholic school, As he grew older, he became interested in Islam He converted to Islam more than a decade ago and began attending prayers at Nur-Allah Islamic Center. Page Two Farrakhan was invited to Rep. Julia Carson's funeral and spoke there, allegedly at the bidding of Andre Carson, whom Farrakhan also endorsed. With friends like this, who needs enemies? Election: Carson and Ellison spoke by telephone recently, and the Minnesota congressman who took office 13 months ago said he advised Carson to emphasize broad concerns such as the economy, the war in Iraq and global warning. Meaning don't point out you are the enemy CAIR endorsed: Muslims will join African Americans like Ellison and Carson on the national political scene. Sons and daughters of Muslims who arrived in the U.S. from Asia and Africa are energized politically and working on campaigns. Dhimmicrat fifth column all the way |
