Next week, Keith Ellison takes the oath of office as incoming Congressman representing the 5 th Congressional District of Minnesota. The gentleman from Minnesota will have an historic opportunity. As the first Muslim American elected to national office in the United States, Congressman-elect Ellison can be a potent force of moderation for Muslims in America and the world. The new Congressman can use his forum in the House of Representatives to speak out against extremism, against jihad, against terror and death cults and to emerge as the Islamic voice of reason the world has been waiting for.
