Rep. Ellison Statement on Daesh’s Threat

Washington – Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) released following statement today after the terrorist organization Daesh included him in a list of ‘politically active apostates,’ and threatened his life:

 

“As millions of faithful Muslims flee Daesh’s imposed nightmare they call a ‘caliphate’, Daesh takes the time to threaten Muslim public servants in the West. Daesh is a collection of liars, murderers, torturers, and rapists. No Muslim I know recognizes what they preach as Al-Islam. 

 

“The fact that I’m on Daesh’s bad side means I am fighting for things like justice, tolerance, and a more inclusive world.”
