U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison's name was included on a list from ISIS that threatened his life.

The terrorist group included the Minneapolis Democrat on a list of Muslims who are politically active, but ISIS believes have abandoned their faith.

The threat was made in a magazine published by ISIS. The list also included Huma Abedin, a long time aide to Hillary Clinton.

Ellison said in a statement that Daesh — another name for ISIS he used — is a "collection of liars, murderers, torturers and rapists."

"No Muslim I know recognizes what they preach as Al-Islam," he said. "The fact that I'm on Daesh's bad side means I am fighting for things like justice, tolerance, and a more inclusive world."
