AS the civilized world watches in horror as ISIS actually reverts to the 6th and 7th centuries, adopting the exact faith-like precepts of the Arab world, everything proceeding it has to be obliterated. Nothing existed pre-Islam and that is that.
IN essence, per true ISLAMIC doctrine, erasing past empires mandates the destruction of all their artifacts and archaeology. Hence, their warpath. From decapitations, to death by immolation, to crucifixions, nothing is off limits.
IN this regard, every committed ISLAMIST (the Brotherhood in toto) is of like mind, except for the fact that some are more “pragmatic” than others. In other words, “practical” Brotherhood leaders (and their followers) realize that every time and place mandates a preferred method of destruction towards western civilization, hence, stealth jihad is the way to go – for now. 
Wolff Bachner: After the Muslim Brotherhood took control of the government in Egypt, despite their constant promises that they had no interest in holding political office or influencing Egypt’s elections, we began to see and hear a new expression used to describe their activities; Stealth Jihad. What is Stealth Jihad and how is the Muslim Brotherhood using this powerful new weapon to achieve their goals?
Adina Kutnicki: Wolff, you are obviously up to speed on your Islamic verbiage. Definitely, Stealth Jihad is a mandatory concept to master. So, in order to follow the winding, often unfamiliar terrain attributed to Islam’s thrust into the west, its essence must be adequately explored.
It revolves around the ability of dedicated Islamists to fly below the (communal/national) radar, but only until the Islamic community is strong enough – both politically, economically and otherwise – to emerge from the shadows. Operating out of full view affords anonymity, yet allows jihadists to build up as many war chests as possible. Two key components are monetary bases and hidden terror cells. They must be ready and prepared to spring into frontal action, if necessary. As a matter of record, staying burrowed for years is often a requirement. As is said, “hiding in plain sight” is more than a saying to Islamists. It is an actual method of jihad!
No matter. ISIS is going for broke and their annihilating wrecking balls have been unleashed. The ISLAMIC genie is out of the bottle.
IN any case, how does the above tie into Rep. Ellison, his main constituents in Minnesota and ISIS? More succinctly, where don’t they link into each other?


HARDLY a “lone” wolf…

(Another Somali-American jihadi…and so on…)

(Hmm…ISIS feels secure enough to threaten the largest mall in America, which happens to be in Minnesota!)
STILL before we connect the ISIS dots, let’s recall a previous commentary (March 2013) re Ellison, a hooked up Brotherhood rep inside Congress: 

“Keithy” (feel like he is an old friend, having featured him several times at this blog, thus, the term of “endearment” – adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/16/update-muslim-congressman-keith-ellison-taunts-congresswoman-michele-bachmann-not-a-smart-move-addendum-to-the-redgreen-alliance-the-ties-that-bind-hillary-clinton-huma-abedin-56-2/) is feeling quite spunky these days, even to the point of shouting down Sean Hannity, not exactly a timid opponent. Oh my…the guy has cajones, as is said in some Brooklyn, NY ‘hoods. See for yourselves -

Now, it is not as if Muslims aren’t used to lording their supremacy, but this is kind of over the top, even by Washington standards. So, what gives? Well, the Muslim Rep, for all intents and purposes, is a “made man”. In other words, the POTUS has his back. High fives all around. Fist bumps galore.
Why? BOTH are Dems, heart with the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia, and the Nation of Islam. They have more than a few converging interests.
MOVING right along, let’s segue to this site’s warnings re Somali Muslims in Minnesota (other states too) and their linkage to ISIS and ISLAMIC Brotherhood front groups. Like pigs to their sh-t.
BUT just in case some may think that Rep. Ellison is being given an unfair rap, well, you may want to re-calibrate your calculus.
Reported on March 20, 2015….Rep. Keith Ellison, known for defending the Islamic State group against allegations of being Islamic, just decided to upgrade himself from a mere jihad apologist to a full-fledged jihad lobbyist.
He did so by travelling to the terrorist-ridden nation of Somalia to help some terror-sympathizing constituents in Minnesota funnel money right into the hands of … wait for it … radical Islamic terrorists.
These transfers of money are allegedly designed to help American Somalis support their friends and family members back home. More often than not, however, the money winds up in the hands of the jihadists.
“I told my constituency I would come here and work for the United States and Somalia relationship, and I am doing that in today’s visit,” Ellison announced at a news conference in Mogadishu.
Yet logic suggests that helping American Somalis indirectly fund terror does nothing whatsoever to aid that relationship. If anything, it puts the Somali government, which battles daily with militants from the Al-Shabaab jihadist group, in an even more precarious position.
It also does nothing to help the Minnesota legislator’s own country in its bid to wipe out Islamic terrorism. But that Ellison would try to spin what he’s really doing should be no shocker, given his past actions.
In 2008, for instance, Ellison accepted a $13,350 donation from the Muslim American Society, which according to Steven Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, “is the de facto arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S.”
It should be as clear as day to everyone that the Democrat congressman aligns himself much more closely with radical Islamic ideology than he does with good old-fashioned American values.
This raises a question: Why is this man in Congress, when he ought to be in prison?
NOT only that, aside from the material (regarding Somali terror within Minnesota, especially in Minneapolis) which has been presented at numerous commentaries within this site, Dr. Rich Swier fleshes out the dangers too; the hub for ISIS recruitment!!
The article covers the story we wrote about last September concerning  the death of Abdirahmaan Muhumed an ISIS jihadi, a 29 year old  Somali Emigre from Minneapolis, who had airport security access while working as a airline cleaner.  The article attempts to explain what attracted Somali émigré youths and other American Muslims to the Salafist Jihadist Takfir doctrine. Why they were motivated to pick up stakes, abandon their families, cruise IS social media, eventually downloading a veritable Fodor –type guide for Hijrah (immigration) to the Islamic State and obtain free plane tickets to travel to the Caliphate. The Times authors focus on federal investigations and local community intervention and re-education programs that appear to offer few if any relevant answers.
This is the latest story of how  the U.S. humanitarian refugee program, controlled by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, flooded this major Midwestern community with 100,000 East Africa Muslims.  Many of them failed to assimilate into American culture with radical Mosques recruiting dozens of native born jihadists to fight and die for first al Shabaab in Somalia and now for ISIS in Syria. We have written about this repeatedly since 2008. The Times article didn’t delve into how the Somali refugees came to the Twin cities with the assistance of voluntary agencies  paid by the State Department and Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement to process them, provide cash assistance, Medicaid and receive a green card to  eventually citizens. All while many of these Muslim émigrés rejected American values, instead seeking to impose their Sharia law on the host non-Muslim community….
CONCLUSIVELY, the all important ISLAMIC doctrine of stealth jihad crops up in EVERY act of infiltration and penetration. However, most westerners haven’t a clue they are being led like “infidel” sheep to the slaughter.
THEREFORE, the following (from the summer of 2010) should serve as a scholarly tie in, one which links Ellison’s jacked up association with the Brotherhood to his “assistance” to Somalis and ISIS, both in the U.S. and in Somalia! It is not for nothing.
Thus, any connections Ellison might have to CAIR are, at best, unwise for a politician seeking to improve the nation’s understanding of Islam and at worst an indication of his true sentiments. On October 14, 2006, shortly before the national congressional elections, Ellison appeared as the keynote speaker at a closed-door meeting of CAIR in Pembroke Pines, Florida.[49] While attending CAIR-Tampa’s sixth annual banquet in 2008, Ellison called on listeners to a local Tampa radio station to support Sami al-Arian. Arian, a former professor at University of South Florida, confessed two years earlier to conspiring to supply goods and services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad,[50] a terrorist organization responsible for numerous suicide attacks on Israel.
In 2009, after the FBI cut off contact with CAIR, Ellison spoke at no fewer than three fundraising dinners for the organization and gave videotaped statements at others and has also appeared with CAIR officials at meetings on healthcare reform and Eid festival celebrations.[51] In October 2009, he rebuked four House of Representatives Republican members who called for an investigation of CAIR for infiltration of government committees.[52] Although the congressmen were focused on the question of CAIR’s role, Ellison cast the inquiry as a modern-day witch hunt, declaring: “The idea that we should investigate Muslim interns as spies is a blow to the very principle of religious freedom that our Founding Fathers cherished so dearly.”[53] Soon afterwards, he attended a CAIR fundraising event in Washington and called for CAIR supporters to apply for jobs in the incoming Obama administration.[54]
Associations with Other Islamist Groups
Muslim American Society: Ellison’s connections to other groups such as the Muslim American Society (MAS) reinforce questions about where he stands. MAS was founded in 1993 following an arrangement reached between Muslim Brotherhood leaders in America and Egypt. MAS is, in fact, the Brotherhood’s American chapter.[55] That the Brotherhood (Al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun) represents a significant threat to Western civilization is made clear from this excerpt from a 1991 briefing captured by the FBI:

The process of settlement [of Islam in the United States] is a “Civilization-Jihadist” process with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” their miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all religions. … It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes.[56]

In December 2002, for example, MAS used its website to denigrate non-Muslims, speaking of “the degenerate moral condition of the Jews and Christians” and declaring: “If you gain a victory over the men of [the] Jews, kill them,” and “May Allah destroy the Jews.”[57] It also issued statements endorsing terrorism and praising Hamas.[58] According to an extensive dossier prepared by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, MAS has links to Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad. Its websites have praised Muslim Brotherhood ideologue and godfather of modern Islamism, Sayyid Qutb, and provided links to several extremist and terrorist organizations. Mahdi Bray, executive director of the MAS Freedom Foundation and the public face of the society, has claimed that the United States is engaged in a war against Islam and has defended a long list of terrorism-linked organizations and individuals. The MAS magazine, The American Muslim, often contains references to suicide bombings as “martyrdom operations” and to terrorists as “freedom fighters” while condemning U.S. antiterrorism actions. At MAS conferences, extremist speakers address their audiences while Islamist and jihadi literature is on sale.[59]
It is, then, disturbing to see that one year after his first election to Congress, Ellison was the keynote speaker at MAS-Minnesota’s fourth annual convention in May 2007.[60] The following spring, Ellison was again the keynote speaker at the MAS-Minnesota convention, appearing alongside Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted coconspirator of the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing.[61]
Islamic Society of North America: Ellison also enjoys a relationship with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization that has been linked by several agencies to support for terrorism. In December 2003, U.S. senators Charles Grassley and Max Baucus of the Senate Committee on Finance formally identified ISNA as one of twenty-five American Muslim organizations in a probe into groups that might “finance terrorism and perpetuate violence.“[62] More recently, in July 2008, Federal prosecutors in Dallas filed documents showing a link between ISNA and Hamas.[63] In an account of the 2008 conference, Dave Gaubatz, coauthor of Muslim Mafia (blogger’s note: assuredly, a close contact within) writes:

In 2008, ISNA had several booths with anti-American slogans on shirts, along with pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian, and anti-Israel garments … It was easy to find DVDs, books, manuals, and pamphlets calling America a terrorist organization and for the destruction of our country and Israel. It was very easy to find material calling for killing innocent men, women, and children in American [sic] who did not believe in an Islamic Ummah (Nation) worldwide and under Sharia law. … If you wanted Muslim Brotherhood material, this was the location to obtain the intelligence you desired.[64]

Despite these troubling connections, Ellison has spoken at ISNA’s 2007, 2008, and 2009 conventions, events estimated to be the largest annual Muslim gatherings in the Western hemisphere.[65] In 2008, Ellison spoke on “mobilizing the Muslim political machine.”[66]
Muslim Public Affairs Council: Ellison also spoke in December 2006 to the sixth annual convention of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC),[67] a seemingly moderate body that seeks to conceal its strong anti-Semitic,[68] pro-Hamas, and pro-Hezbollah views.[69] Again, he addressed a town hall forum during MPAC’s “Activate ’08 Election Campaign,” at one of the Council’s “Rock the Muslim Vote” events.[70]
North American Imams Federation: He also addressed the North American Imams Federation (NAIF) at their November 19, 2006 conference in Minneapolis.[71] Many of NAIF’s imams, in charge of mosques across the United States, are trained through an institution called the American Open University (AOU), a distance-learning medium for Muslims wishing to train as clergy. The AOU is a radical school that emphasizes the paramount role of Shari’a law in an American context. Its chairman Jaafar Sheikh Idris regards democracy as “the antithesis of Islam,” arguing that human beings have no right to make their own laws. “No one,” he claims, “can be a Muslim who makes or freely accepts or believes that anyone has the right to make or accept legislation that is contrary to the divine law.”[72] He also declared that no Muslim elected to Congress can swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution and remain a Muslim “for in order to pledge loyalty to the constitution, a Muslim would have to abandon part of his belief and embrace the belief of secularism—which is practically another religion.”[73] That Keith Ellison supports an institution linked to someone who holds views in such deep conflict with normative American values is deeply troubling.
ONCE again, the following must be asked and answered: what are the chances that Rep. Ellison is not in line with ISIS’s agenda, even though his point of departure is simply via his preferred method of stealth jihad? and how dangerous are the likes of Somalis (and similar ISLAMISTS hiding in plain sight) in America to the nation at large?
MOREOVER, should patriots believe that Ellison’s support of major Brotherhood front groups are just happenstance, and that he “don’t know nothing about nothing”?
YOU decide.
