CONGRESSMAN KEITH ELLISON TO SPEAK AT MEMORIAL FOR DEAD ISLAMIST LEADER

AS MEMORIAL PROCEEDS, GROUP PROPOGATES VIOLENT HATRED AGAINST JEWS AND CHRISTIANS

(Coral Springs, FL) Today, Congressman Keith Ellison will be the main speaker at a memorial for the deceased leader of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society (MAS-Minnesota), Hesham Hussein. Hussein was killed in an auto accident in Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, January 26th.

While Congressman Ellison speaks, the organization Hussein led will be using the internet to propagate violent hatred against Jews and Christians.

Statements such as "In view of the degenerate moral condition of the Jews and the Christians, the Believers have been warned not to make them their friends and confidants." and "If you gain victory over the men of Jews, kill them." are currently featured on the MAS-Minnesota website.

Also scheduled to speak at the memorial will be the Assistant Chief of the Saint Paul Police Department, Dennis Jensen.

Joe Kaufman, Chairman of Americans Against Hate (AAH) stated, "It is wrong for any official to speak at a memorial for a leader of a hate group, whether it be the Ku Klux Klan or the Muslim American Society. We call on these officials to cancel their appearances."

Joe Kaufman is available for interview. E-mail: [email protected].
