Muslim Congressman: I’m Not a ‘Crazy’

Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim member of the U.S. Congress, has just returned from his second trip to Israel – where he said he doesn’t understand Muslim "crazies” who see the Koran as a license to murder.
"The murderers and the extremists are into something I don't know about," the first-term Minnesota Democrat told the Jerusalem Post.
"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. 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."
