The forum, "Engaging The Muslim World – Challenges and Opportunities" was sponsored by the U.S. Institute Of Peace (USIP). </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://worth-reading-blog.blogspot.com/2009/10/muslim-democrat-representative-keith.html"><P>In his speech, Ellison claimed that "violent extremism with a Muslim veneer is essentially a post-colonial reaction" and the result of a "political environment rooted in grievance." </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://worth-reading-blog.blogspot.com/2009/10/muslim-democrat-representative-keith.html"><P>Ellison claims that the Jihadists are engaging in worldwide terrorism because they're angry about Western colonialism in the past. <STRONG>This is wrong.
