Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) released following statement today after the terrorist organization Daesh included him in a list of "politically active apostates,' and threatened his life:

"As millions of faithful Muslims flee Daesh's imposed nightmare they call a "caliphate', Daesh takes the time to threaten Muslim public servants in the West. Daesh is a collection of liars, murderers, torturers, and rapists. No Muslim I know recognizes what they preach as Al-Islam.

"The fact that I'm on Daesh's bad side means I am fighting for things like justice, tolerance, and a more inclusive world."
