STUART VARNEY (HOST): The Democrats are trying to figure out who's going to lead their party in the future. And one of the names that has surfaced is Keith Ellison. He's a congressman, and he is way out there on the left. You've got that look on your face that says you've got something to say about Mr. Ellison. Speak.

DAVID RUBIN: Keith Ellison is a Muslim, is a convert to Islam. And he's, yes, a congressman from Minnesota. The problem with Keith Ellison is that Keith Ellison's allegiances are more to the Islamic civilization than Judeo-Christian civilization. When he was sworn in, House Speaker at that time Nancy Pelosi allowed him to swear in on the Quran which speaks -- the Quran is the so-called holy book of Islam -- which speaks of jihad, calls for jihad against all of what they call “the unbelievers,” which means all Jews, all Christians, anyone who is not a Muslim.

That is what jihad means and that is the core of the Quran. I know there's sometimes Islamic spokesmen who you hear on television who will say, “well, Islam doesn't really mean holy war against the unbelievers. Islam means self-reflection, spiritual self-reflection inside.” Well, it's nonsense, kind of like indigestion.

The real meaning of jihad is holy war against all -- against the unbelievers, and you can ask any honest Muslim, and he will tell you that.
