The Voice of Muslim Sanity

It is a relief to hear it:

Muslim Congressman Doesn't Understand Muslim "Crazies" - Herb Keinon
The first Muslim member of the U.S. Congress, Minnesota's Keith Ellison, left Israel on Saturday after a six-day visit as part of a Democratic congressional delegation. In an interview with the Jerusalem Post, Ellison said he doesn't understand those "crazies" who read the same Koran he did and came away with a license to murder. "I don't know how they read what they read and come out with what they do. They wouldn't consider me a Muslim because I'm American, because I believe in the unity of people and that we are all on the planet to work together."
    "The people who did 9/11 are hostile to everyone, and in fact if you are not the type of Muslim they want you to be, they would be happy to kill you too," Ellison said. "I am not a Muslim in their eyes because I am for tolerance and inclusion, and they don't want an Islam that is inclusive." (Jerusalem Post)
