Bill Mayer is and always will be an asshole.  But he's a thinking and useful asshole. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/greghengler/2011/03/12/congressman_ellison_i_became_a_muslim_for_social_justice__social_change--but_terrorisms_political Greg Hengler Congressman Ellison: I Became A Muslim For "Social Justice & Social Change"--But Terrorism's Political Listen closely and tell me theologically how at the heart of Islam, it is not a religion of church AND state. Note how Ellison applauds why he chose Islam and then listen to how he criticizes Muslims for politicizing the faith. He appears a bit confused about the "religion of peace." Note too that the peaceful passage he is quoting is from the earlier parts of the Quran which are 86'd by the later and more hateful, violent, and intolerant parts. <iframe src="http://videos.mediaite.com/embed/player/?layout=&playlist_cid=&media_type=video&content=S8KVPB04NVLYDLQ3&read_more=1&widget_type_cid=svp" width="420" height="421" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> COMMENT: Ellison (D-Mecca) adopted the Islamic faith for "social justice," but it's not "political"?  Well perhaps, if one draws a distinction between politics and terrorism.  But then, sheetheads don't.
