You don't represent me @GerryConnolly

It is my misfortune that I reside in the 11th Congressional District, Virginia, which is represented by Gerry Connolly. Here is a message that I sent to Mr. Connolly:

You don’t represent me, Mr. Connolly

Dear Rep. Connolly, I read with alarm your Statement on the Syrian Refugee Crisis, http://connolly.house.gov/news/connolly-statement-on-the-syrian-refugee-crisis/.

You wrote:

To be clear the SAFE Act is not a moratorium or a pause on the refugee program. It does not harm the vetting process we have in place. It does not demagogue a particular group of people or promote one religious belief over another, as some prominent Republicans have demanded.

By demagoguing a particular group of people, I take it that you are referring to Muslims. You have been in the pocket of Muslim interests, which are not my interests. Examples:

• You accepted a $1000 donation from Dr. Esam Omeish. Dr. Omeish has had positions of leadership in Muslim Brotherhood fronts such as the Muslim Students Association and the Muslim American Society. He personally hired the late Anwar al-Awlaki to be the imam of Dar al-Hijrah mosque. (Anwar al-Awlaki, as you might remember, was killed in a drone strike in Yemen. He frequently corresponded with Nidal Malik Hasan before the 2008 Fort Hood massacre. He also had contacts with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the “underwear” bomber.)
• You publicly denounced your constituent who opposed expansion of Islamic Saudi Academy as a “bigot” when you chaired the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Audio revealed that you mentioned this denunciation while currying favor with Arabs and Muslims. 
• You accepted money from the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IPAC) to support the Iran nuclear deal, when polls showed that the majority of Americans wanted Congress to reject the deal.

You wrote that the SAFE Act does not “promote one religious belief over another, as some prominent Republicans have demanded.” Christian refugees are more likely to assimilate, and I call upon their co-religionists to mentor them in the US. Do I have to tell you that Islamic State has singled out religious minorities for persecution? Most likely, the UN will tell the U.S. to accept refugees from its camps. Lord Carey, the past Archbishop of Canterbury, noted:

Christians are not to be found in the UN camps, because they have been attacked and targeted by Islamists and driven from them. 

For those reasons, I prefer re-settling Christian refugees and refugees of minority religions.

Muslim Brotherhood denies that they were invited to speak to Congress

An update to our previous article Did Steny Hoyer's visit with Muslim Brotherhood lead to this invitation? from CNSNews.com via Jihad Watch:

Islamist Group Denies Report of Hoyer Invitation to Visit Congress -- 04/13/2007

Did Steny Hoyer's visit with Muslim Brotherhood lead to this invitation?

From the MEMRI blog, as noted by LGF and Jihad Watch

Egyptian Daily: Democrats Invite Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Leader and Muslim Brotherhood MPs to Congress

This comes at the heels of Steny Hoyer's visit with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Did his visit have anything to do with it?

Steny Hoyer meets with Muslim Brotherhood

Rep. Steny Hoyer

From Little Green Footballs: Democrats Talking with Muslim Brotherhood

... House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, twice on Thursday — once at the parliament building and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, said Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan.

Hoyer represents the 5th district in Maryland, which covers "includes a large portion of Prince George's County, the three counties of southern Maryland - Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's - and a portion of Anne Arundel County."

As noted before, the Muslim American Society, based in Falls Mosque (as I refer to Falls Church, VA), is the U.S. arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. MAS no longer lists its street address. Smart. The Muslim Brotherhood has provided the ideological basis of Islamic terrorist organizations, including Al-Qaeda (recall that Ayman al-Zawahiri, UBL's no. 2, was part of the Muslim Brotherhood).

This is part of Northern Virginiastan's efforts to out dhimmi politicians. Hoyer's constituents should revolt - note that Jim Horan voted aye on HR 1640. This turnaround was effected by concerted opposition that resulted from his comments that Jewish interests were responsible for entry in Iraq and campaign contributions from Muslim groups for the 2002 elections were made public - Moran was one of the main beneficiaries of campaign donations from Muslim groups that year.

HR 1640: Anti-dhimmitude From Congress

Now, for some news which is bound to rile up CAIR.

Excerpt from the March 27, 2007 Washington Times:

House Republicans tonight surprised Democrats with a procedural vote to protect public-transportation passengers from being sued if they report suspicious activity -- the first step by lawmakers to protect "John Doe" airline travelers already targeted in such a lawsuit.

After a heated debate and calls for order, the motion to recommit the Democrats' Rail and Public Transportation Security Act of 2007 back to committee with instructions to add the protective language passed on a vote of 304-121.
