Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday she would name the first Muslim lawmaker to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
 
A senior Democratic aide said Rep. André Carson of Indiana would be named in the “coming days” to the key national security-focused panel. Pelosi (D-Calif.) told lawmakers of the appointment during the members’ weekly caucus meeting.

Now for the rest of the story
 
Nancy Pelosi to name Muslim Brotherhood-linked Muslim Congressman to House intelligence committee

It could be worse. It could have been Keith Ellison. But this is bad enough as it is. Carson once said that “9/11 was tough on Muslims.” Discover the Networks reports that Carson has said that American schools should be modeled on madrassas, “where the foundation is the Qur’an.”

Is Pelosi putting America at risk ???

Pelosi will name Democratic Indiana U.S. Rep. André Carson to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, it was reported Tuesday.
 
Carson will be the first Muslim to hold that position. He is one of two Muslims currently in Congress.

According to campaign filings, Carson received a $1,000 campaign contribution in the 2014 election cycle and $5,000 during the 2008 cycle from the political action committee for the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights group which was named an unindicted co-conspirator of the Holy Land Foundation — a group which was found guilty in federal court of providing material support to Hamas, which the U.S. considers a terrorist group.

We already know the answer to that question.

Carson's district is mainly downtown INDY. He took the district over after his mother had it for a very long time. I didn't realize that he was Muslim. He is one of only two democrat Congressmen in Indiana.
