Muslim Day Parade Organizers Lie About "Grand Marshall" Keith Ellison

Now you see him...

Far Left Liberal Rep. Keith Ellison, the first (radical) Muslim in Congress, disappears.

Now you don't...

For some reason, Rep. Keith Ellison's photo suddenly disappeared from the front page of the Muslim Day Parade website. He was planning on being the grand marshall of the Muslim Day Parade until Joe Kaufman and Beila Rabinowitz at FrontPage wrote about the Islamic extremists involved with the project.

Charles Johnson reported yesterday that Ellison's face went missing from the parade website.
So did Americans Against Hate saying:

Joe Kaufman, the Chairman of Americans Against Hate (AAH), stated, “It seems odd that the organizers of the parade would advertise Congressman Ellison’s participation in the parade for nearly a week, if he had no intention of being involved in the event. Regardless, though, we will not be changing our plans to protest both the parade and Ellison.”
The flyer picturing Keith Ellison was posted on the website only last week.

Now... Let Freedom Ring has this article from obviously biased reporter Abdi Aynte (who even had help from Paul Schmelzer) at the Minnesota Monitor:

The freshman Democrat from Minneapolis was never scheduled to be there, said Brian Elliot, district director for Ellison.

Elliot said the congressman "was equally surprised" when he learned the buzz that he would be the grand marshal for the 22nd Annual Muslim Day Parade in New York City, which is scheduled for Sept. 9. Ellison "declined the offer to be the grand marshal a long time ago because he has other obligations in the district," said Elliot.

The Muslim Foundation of America, or MFA, which has been organizing the parade for 22 years, also confirmed that Ellison won't be the grand marshal. The group acknowledged seeking the first Muslim in Congress to lead the parade, according to MFA director Ainul Haq.

The story first appeared on the website of FrontPage Magazine, a conservative publication run by David Horowitz and based in California, and was later reprinted widely on conservative blogs and message boards, including Little Green Footballs, Free Republic, and others.

Reached by email, Kaufman didn't reply when asked if he verified the congressman's involvement with either Ellison's office or the parade organizers. Instead he forwarded an event flyer he says was posted on MFA's website (it doesn't appear there now) which featured Ellison.

"Apparently they just replaced the flier with an image of a mosque," he said of the organization's home page.

Haq denied creating a flyer advertising Ellison as grand marshal.
Haq is a liar!

The flyer from the Muslim Day Parade website it posted above.

Abdi Aynte at the Minnesota Monitor needs to make a correction and apology for her disgraceful reporting.

Let Freedom Ring has more on the Monitor.

    I think non-muslims need to be there to counter protest. I suggest making a bag of confetti with images of Mohammed on each piece. Just find a picture from the Danish cartoon controversy and repeat it several times on a sheet of paper. Cut out each image and at the parade, toss them out on the street. Remember - the act of stepping on an image is an insult in Islam. Imagine the muslims in the paradise walking over pictures of Mo.

    excerpt:

    [Now with just over six months in office, the good Congressman has yet to find time to discuss counterterrorism substantively from his congressional office. But, interestingly, he has been able to find time recently to speak to Atheists for Human Rights at a library in Edina, Minnesota.

    During his speech, when commenting about 9-11 and the Bush Administration, he stated according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune,

    “It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that… after the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted…."I'm not saying [Sept. 11] was a [U.S.] plan, or anything like that, because, you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box — dismiss you."

    Ellison is the first Muslim in the U.S. Congress. With the help of a less than investigative mainstream media he was able to sidestep his more than troublesome past with the Nation of Islam (NOI). He has since denied being a part of NOI other than assisting for 18 months with the million man march. He now describes himself as a sunni Muslim.

    Regardless, the facts are out there and since occupying his U.S. Congressional office, he certainly has not been one to hide his Muslim faith. In fact he wears it on his sleeve, whenever it suits him and other Islamist causes around the United States.

    Within days of his victory in Minnesota’s 5th District, he gave a speech at the North American Imams Federation in November 2006 as Congressman-elect Ellison. This is the same federation behind the ridiculous Islamist lawsuit against U.S. Airways and the reporting John Doe passengers. During his campaign he welcomed a fundraiser from Islamists on his behalf on August 25th, 2006 featuring James Yee and Nihad Awad of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Ellison then traveled to Florida for a fundraiser sponsored also by known CAIR leadership including Parvez Ahmed (CAIR Board Chairman) and Ahmed Bedier (CAIR-FLA executive director).]

    excerpt:

    [When trying to understand the ideology of radical Islam look no further than these praises from the Aryan Nations. These cockroaches of humanity feed off the same vitriol of hate. Whether White supremacist fascism or militant Islamist theocracy, hate is hate. Its appeal draws from the same trough of anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories. They feed their followers the same deep-seeded arrogance and false sick sense of superiority despite years and years of abject failure.]

  5. Just so I understand:
    1. Joe Kaufman reported that Keith Ellison was going to be grand marshal of the Muslim Day Parade, based on a flier he found.

    2. Joe Kaufman never called, well, anyone to confirm.

    3. Keith Ellison is NOT the grand marshal of said parade.

    4. And, you're blaming someone other than Joe Kaufman?

    Talk about intellectual honesty...

    perhaps the folks who ran the MDP ad should have confirmed KE was going to be the GM before they advertized it??

    Kaufman's the liar. And a piss-poor "journalist."

    Check your facts, loser. And shame on Gateway for championing such shoddy research.
