The AP reported that Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison chose to use Thomas Jefferson’s Koran “because it showed that a visionary like Jefferson believed that wisdom could be gleaned from many sources.”
Of course, had Ellison lived when Jefferson did, Jefferson would have owned him.
Meanwhile, all that stuff about Muslims being the new black man doesn't make any sense to me. If Muslims are the new black man, why are so many black men, like Ellison, converting to Islam? Because they don’t feel black enough? Because they want to get in on the Muslims’ lucrative African slave trade?
Regardless, it’s nice to see Ellison respecting the founding father. After all, Jefferson may very well be his great-great grandfather.

P.S. Please forgive me if I wrongly assumed that you are from New York. Both of your comedy videos I've seen were in New York, but your location here says Las Vegas. I hope that you are not insulted with my error! ;)

Extra credit for courage--for pointing out that slavery is still practiced in Muslim countries, and in some is justified by the Koran. Puts a lot of handwringing in the US in perspective.
