DNC Chairman Howard Dean spoke at the Islamic Society of North America conference yesterday; ISNA, of course, is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror trial, and is a front group of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, who make no secret that their goal is to establish Islamic rule over the world.

Dean told the audience that Muslims need to run for political office, because it’s the only way to achieve their goal. Dean tells Muslims: Run for political office.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told American Muslims gathered in Rosemont to think beyond voter registration drives.

“You need to run for political office,” Dean said Saturday. “The only way you can achieve your goals is to stand up and say who you are and be proud of it.”

Those in the packed house rose to their feet and applauded.

Dean was one of several prominent Democrats on Saturday to address the nation’s largest gathering of American Muslims. Republicans declined invitations, organizers said. …

“Be heard. Don’t be silent. Tell it like it is,” said Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress. “If you don’t tell your story, someone else will. And you may be the villain in their story,” the Minnesota Democrat said.

Ellison, too, received a standing ovation. …

“There are people who want to see Muslims not only at the table but on the ticket,” said Malik Mujahid, president of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, which sponsored the “Take Back America Rally” involving Dean.
