But news reports show that both he and Carson led a discussion at the 2008 convention on how to mobilize Muslims politically. In explosive testimony Tuesday, a witness before a Senate panel about Islamic terrorism accused the two Muslim members of Congress of having attended an event organized by the Muslim Brotherhood. "Both Congressman Keith Ellison, MN, and Andre Carson, IN, spoke at the Muslim Brotherhood event." At the heart of his accusation is the attendance by those two members at a 2008 convention hosted by the Islamic Society of North America -- a Muslim umbrella group, which Gaubatz claims is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood. Allegations that Ellison and Carson are secret Muslim agents with extremist leanings are usually found among fringe groups online, often discussed in dire tones on poorly designed websites.
