Yes, he is not a member of the Nation of Islam rather that is something his politcal opponents keep trying to beat with a dead stick. He helped organize the Million Man March and used to run with them in his college days almost 20 years ago.
He attends the same masjid that I do here in Minneapolis - http://masjidannur.org/ - it’s a former NOI masjid that followed WD Muhammad to sunni islam in the 70s.
If a white chica can comfortably worship there, good bet is they’re not NOI anymore I’ve talked with Br. Keith on a number of occasions and there is nothing that leads me to believe he is other than a brother in Islam.
It’s the same guilt by association we see from these elements time and time again. He shared a platform with a given Muslim activist who they see as an extremist, but who was at the time acting in his capacity as a civil rights campaigner, and he gets tarred with the same broad brush.
Keith Ellison (aka Keith Hakim, Keith X Ellison and Keith Ellison-Muhammad) is the candidate that terrorist front group CAIR (http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6176) hopes wins the November election(http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24324). The endorsement from such a shady group like CAIR is alone reason enough to make one question Ellison’s qualifications.
A reason the November race will be very interesting to watch will be how far the Democratic leadership tries to distance itself from Ellison (http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/008058.php).
Many people, black and non-black, muslim and non-muslim share some sympathy for parts of NOI. They were pioneers of the colored self-pride which is absolutely a necessary pre-condition for any sustainable solution. All white people can come to the sunna of Jesus Christ, but a little problem will stilll linger if Afro, Asian, Latino people dont come out of their inferiority complex. I am not endorsing their mythology of Yacob’s experiments. But as a political entity, they needed to be present at that time.

The Washington Post had an article on it this week called: Muslim Candidate Plays Defense

I should add that he denies ever being a member of the Nation.
Gas is so cheap in Iowa because it is a major supplier of ethanol and is used in their gas their, so they get a break on the price.
As to the Muslim in Congress, he actually denounced Louis Farrakhan, and was supported by a local Jewish group, so the news said.
Ya Haqq!
