This link goes to the program for a conference held this weekend by the Islamic Society of North America. Note that the keynote speaker yesterday was none other than Congressman Keith Ellison.
ISNA has been identified as a terrorist co-conspirator in the ongoing Holy Land Foundation trial, which conerns numerous Islamic societies and organizations in America suspected of funneling donations to Hamas. CAIR is another organization so identified, to which Ellison has even more questionable connections. ISNA was in the news just a few days ago, when a group of GOP lawmakers demanded that the Justice Department drop plans for participating in the convention.
Ellison was involved in radical Islamic groups in the past and apologized for his membership in them (as he rightly should have). But if we are expected to believe he's really changed, why does he continue to show up at meetings and conferences for organizations identified by as terrorist front groups?
